He parents Brett and Naghmeh King were detained in Spain on Monday after they opted to take out their seriously ill child from a Southampton hospital last week without doctor’s consent. However, they were released on Tuesday after U.K. prosecutors withdrew a European arrest warrant.

Now the child patient has been allowed after a court ruling to a suggested receive proton beam therapy in a Prague clinic that is presently not available in England.

Mr Justice Baker approved a treatment plan following telephonic discussions with lawyers representing Mr and Mrs King and a hospital in Southampton where he recently underwent surgery, before his parents removed him from there after disagreeing with doctors over his treatment.

A spokesman for the Courts and Tribunals Judiciary in London, Michael Duncan has said: “There was a hearing this afternoon and the judge has said he is allowing Ashya to be flown to Prague.

“The court’s wardship over him will cease when he arrives at the hospital” in Prague.

However, it is still unknown when the boy would be flown to Prague to receive the therapy as he could not be moved from children’s hospital in the southern Spanish city of Malaga until his status as a ward of court, imposed after his parents were arrested, was lifted.

While, the Proton Therapy Centre in the Czech capital has cleared for being ready to send a plane to transport him as soon as possible.
