Top Pak court blocks execution of mentally ill convict
Pakistan's Supreme Court on Monday blocked the execution order of a schizophrenic murder convict, Imdad Ali, after a lower court allowed the execution by ruling that schizophrenia was not a permanent disorder. Experts consider schizophrenia to be an incurable mental disorder. Ali was certified a paranoid schizophrenic in 2012, after he was convicted of the 2001 murder of a cleric.
