Accepting that to be the case, it surely weakens the argument for release on compassionate grounds.

It strengthens it if he had croaked after two weeks though. Who knows how long someone will last?

Terminally ill in a prison cell would have been a depressing thought.
Terminally ill in the bosom of  your family with decent food after chemotherapy could put him into remission.
However remission is NOT cured and he still has a sentence hanging over him.
Bit like being taken to a cliff and being told you will be pushed.....just not when it will happen.

If the man is innocent, which is the view of many of the families of those murdered, his family are bloody right to sue

This man was handed over by his country - let him sue Gadaffi. Stuff his family.

If he hadn't been imprisoned in Scotland, it follows that he wouldn't have got cancer doesn't it? Or do they feel he would have beaten terminal cancer in Libya? Who cares if he was innocent, he got treatment which we paid for. We're all sorry he won't live forever.
