Singapore\u2019s top court will decide Tuesday on the fate of a Malaysian man on death row who is believed to be mentally disabled, his family and a rights group said Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His brother Navinkumar Dharmalingam said in a statement issued through Reprieve that Nagaenthran\u2019s mental state has \u201cseverely deteriorated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he has any idea that he\u2019s going to be executed. He doesn\u2019t seem to understand it at all. When I visited him, he talked about coming home and eating home-cooked food with our family. It broke my heart that he seemed to think he\u2019s coming home,\u201d Navinkumar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe has other delusions about taking three-hour-long baths and sitting in a garden. He often can\u2019t remember the most basic things and some of what he says is completely incoherent,\u201d added Navinkumar, who visited his brother several times in a Singapore prison before the Nov. 10 appeal hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNaga is at risk of imminent execution even though he should be protected from the death penalty because of his intellectual disability, and as a victim of trafficking,\u201d said Reprieve\u2019s director Maya Foa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has made clear his commitment to champion the rights of persons with disabilities. Allowing this travesty of justice to take place would fly in the face of those promises,\u201d Foa added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal experts \u2014 including with the Anti-Death Penalty Asia Network and Amnesty International \u2014 have called the execution of an intellectually disabled man inhumane and a violation of international law and Singapore\u2019s Constitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
