The Justice Bulletin is an initiative of the Justice Project Pakistan (JPP) to shed light on some of Pakistan’s most pressing criminal justice failures.
This special edition of the Justice Bulletin focuses on the case of Imdad Ali, a schizophrenic on death row for over 14 years. Imdad’s case encapsulates the many failures of the Pakistani criminal justice system in safeguarding the rights of mentally ill prisoners.
The PDF of the e-bulletin is available here: Justice Bulletin: Punishing the Mentally Ill and here (yumpu).
