Summary of the allegation transmitted
Non-conformité présumée de divers articles d’un projet de loi organique relatif à la
lutte contre le terrorisme et à la répression du blanchiment d’argent avec un certain
nombre de dispositions du Pacte international relatif aux droits civils et politiques.
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.
