LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Tuesday sought a report from the Punjab Prisons Department about the latest state of mental health of a 56-year-old death row prisoner suffering from schizophrenia.
The Justice Project Pakistan (JPP), a non-profit organisation working for prisoners rights, filed a petition on behalf of Khizar Hayat, the condemned prisoner, with a request for his shifting to a secure mental health treatment facility.
