UN human rights experts have condemned the impending execution of Mr. Ali, a Pakistani man with a psychosocial disability, urging authorities to annul his death sentence and ensure a fair retrial considering his mental health. Despite evidence of his disability, including medical reports, courts have dismissed appeals, leading to fears of arbitrary execution. The experts highlight the risk faced by individuals with psychosocial disabilities in the justice system and call for adequate accommodation and protection from discrimination. They stress the importance of addressing Mr. Ali’s deteriorating condition in detention and emphasize that denying reasonable accommodation constitutes discrimination and cruel treatment.
