Tories seek Megrahi medical files

Nov 18 2009

The Scottish Government is facing demands to release all records on the Lockerbie bomber, 90 days after he was freed from jail on compassionate grounds.

The Tories said compassionate release was normally granted only when a prisoner was expected to live for three months or less.

They called for all records on Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi's medical condition to be made public.
