- Ensure that he is protected from torture and other ill-treatment and is allowed frequent and regular access to his family, his lawyer and adequate medical care and is granted a fair retrial without resort to the death penalty;
- Immediately establish a moratorium on all executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty, in line with six UN General Assembly resolutions adopted since 2007.
