Richard Teng has publicly condemned the Nigerian government over what he describes as the \u201cinhumane treatment\u201d of Tigran Gambaryan, the company\u2019s Head of Crime Compliance, who has been detained in the West African country for the past six months.<\/p>\n
Teng\u2019s statement comes in response to a recently surfaced video that shows Gambaryan in visible distress while being escorted into a Nigerian court.<\/p>\n
The recording depicts him arriving at the court on crutches, visibly struggling and pleading with guards for a wheelchair. Despite his requests, the officers seemingly denied him the use of the assistive equipment, forcing him to continue on a single crutch.\u00a0The footage has intensified calls for his immediate release as concerns grow about his deteriorating health.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis inhumane treatment of Tigran must end,\u201d Teng stated<\/a>, calling for Gambaryan to be allowed to return home for necessary medical treatment and to reunite with his family.<\/p>\n The Binance executive, detained by authorities since March, has experienced severe health issues at Kuje Prison, including a herniated disc, pneumonia, malaria, and tonsillitis.<\/p>\n His condition has worsened due to inadequate medical care and harsh prison conditions, which his lawyers argue have prevented their ability to prepare a defense.<\/p>\n During his court appearance on September 2, 2024, he was reportedly in significant pain, at one point breaking down in tears.\u00a0His legal representatives have filed <\/a>a new bail application on medical grounds, citing his deteriorating health and the challenges in accessing their client.<\/p>\n The petition is currently being contested by prosecutors from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), who claim that Gambaryan has refused medical care and that his condition is not as serious as his advocates assert.<\/p>\n Despite these claims, parts of his medical records suggest that he urgently requires surgery for his herniated disc, though some critical details are reportedly missing.<\/p>\n In a previous lawsuit filed earlier this year, the Binance executive accused<\/a> Nigeria\u2019s National Security Adviser and the EFCC of violating his human rights, citing inadequate medical care and restricted access to legal and embassy representatives.<\/p>\n The court has ordered that he be provided with a wheelchair, a decision that will be reviewed further when the trial resumes on Wednesday. However, his family remains deeply concerned.\u00a0Gambaryan\u2019s wife, Yuki, has been vocal about her husband\u2019s mistreatment, accusing the Nigerian government of unlawful detention and neglect.<\/p>\n She has also called<\/a> on U.S. authorities to take stronger action, criticizing them for downplaying her spouse\u2019s health issues and withholding vital medical records.<\/p>\n The post Binance CEO Richard Teng Condemns Nigeria Over \u2018Inhumane Treatment\u2019 of Imprisoned Executive<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Richard Teng has publicly condemned the Nigerian government over what he describes as the \u201cinhumane treatment\u201d of Tigran Gambaryan, the company\u2019s Head of Crime Compliance, who has been detained in the West African country for the past six months.
