She said that on Sunday evening, he entered into a coma, after which he was taken to the intensive care unit of the Police Hospital.
In March 2012, El Maz and five others were sentenced to death, after they were captured in a battle between the Sudanese army and JEM fighters in Darfur the year before.
The Constitutional Court has not yet handled the appeal of the ruling.
