Selon les informations reçues, plusieurs dispositions du projet de loi n° 2015-22 relatif à la lutte contre le terrorisme et à la répression du blanchiment d’argent soulèveraient des questions quant à leur compatibilité avec les obligations internationales de la Tunisie en matière de droits de l’homme, notamment les articles 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 à 22 et 26 du Pacte. Alleged imminent execution, torture and ill-treatment of a person with a psychosocial disability. According to the information received, in 2003, Mr. Khizar Hayat, a Pakistani national and former police officer, was convicted and sentenced to death for the alleged murder of a fellow police officer under section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code. To date, Mr. Hayat has spent over 12 years on death row. Despite having being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia by the detention authorities in 2008, he has never received adequate treatment for his condition, which has continued to deteriorate and made him the target of abuse and attacks by fellow inmates. On 25 July 2015, the Sessions Court in Lahore temporarily stayed Mr. Hayat’s execution, following an application by Mr. Hayat’s lawyer challenging the legality of the warrant on the basis of Mr. Hayat’s psychosocial disability, and a hearing on the issue is scheduled for 30 July 2015. Concern is expressed at the imminent execution, torture and ill-treatment of Mr. Hayat, in contravention of international human rights law. Reply A/HRC/31/79 58 Date Type
