Hanging of disabled convict indefinitely postponed

Authorities have postponed the execution of a paraplegic death row convict following appeals by many human rights groups, officials stated earlier today.

Abdul Basit, 43, who was convicted of first degree murder in 2009, contracted tubercular meningitis in 2010 while in prison which left him paralysed from the waist down, according to rights groups and jail officials.

Basit was due to be hanged today, but a court delayed the execution after Justice Project Pakistan, the human rights law firm handling his case, raised concerns about how the wheelchair-bound man would mount the scaffold.
