Swamy: I was brought here 8 months ago. When I came here, full system, my body was very functional. But during this 8 months, there has been a steady but slow regression of my bodily functions. So the main issue is.. (takes a pause)

Swamy: 8 months go I could take bath by myself, some writing by myself. But these are disappearing one after another.
So (takes a pause) Taloja jail, brought me to a situation where I can neither write or I can go for a walk by myself. Or eating.

#BombayHighCourt #StanSwamy
Swamy: I am not able to meet this demand. Eating is also in a difficulty. Someone has to feed me with a spoon. I am asking you to consider, why and how this regression of myself. Like yesterday I was taken to JJ hospital and so there was lot of people but I had no opportunity
Swamy: .. to explain what I should be given. There are some medicines which the jail authorities have given me, but this, my deterioration is so powerful than the tablets they are giving me. So I have come to you. Before I used to put my earphones, any conversation I was able
Swamy .. to follow. Now I am not able to.
Court: How old are you? What is your age?
Swamy: I am 84 years old. And I am a Catholic priest. So the hearing is very radically affected.
Court: Are you treated well in Taloja? In general?
