A hermaphrodite who is seeking to be released from Kamiti maximum security prison wants a report about his medical and physical condition tabled in court.
Richard Mwanzia Muasya says the report will help the court understand the continuous human and constitutional rights violations he is going through at the prison, where he is being held after he was convicted for robbery with violence.
A detailed report by medical experts will also help the court to fully understand his gender, says Muasya.
Muasya was born with both male and female sex organs, but goes about life as a man.
Through his lawyer John Chigiti, Muasya says he is suffering inhuman and degrading treatment by exposure to male convicts, prison warders and the public.
