Death of Wishma Sandamali instance of death
Reports by the immigration agency
On April 9, 2021, the Immigration Services Agency published an interim report about the event, which did not specify the cause of her death. In May 2021, it was reported that the interim report falsely stated that the gastroenterologist who saw Wishma never recommended intravenous therapy or hospitalization, despite her medical records showing they indeed did. The Ministry of Justice explained that, even though it had obtained the medical records, the report stated that there was no recommendation because the bureau had told the ministry that the records were not factual.On August 10, 2021, the agency published a "final report", admonished the then-director and the deputy director-general of the bureau, and reprimanded two other officials. The report concluded that Wishma died of an illness, but it said multiple factors likely contributed to her death and the cause of death could not be determined. The report blamed the bureau's lack of an adequate reporting system and of medical care on weekends. The sisters said they were skeptical of the report. A lawyer for the family said, "The immigration office shifted responsibility to the local bureau's medical care system and its officers' morality. It is trying to avoid liability and close this case with light punishments."
