Six former prime ministers of the Indian Ocean nation of Comoros have urged President Azali Assoumani to allow his jailed predecessor to seek medical attention abroad.
Ahmed Abdallah Sambi, aged 67 and the head of state from 2006 to 2011, has been under house arrest for eight years.
He was handed a life sentence in 2022 for high treason related to the sale of passports to stateless people, after a trial that critics labelled a "judicial charade".
