The execution of the sentence means that the person is deprived of certain rights due to the finalized crime.
In certain cases, it is possible to postpone the execution of the sentence. Postponement of execution due to mental illness: Mental illness is a critical reason that postpones both the capacity to act and the execution of the sentence. The execution of the sentence is postponed until the person suffering from mental illness recovers.
