9. 在还押听证会之后，警方指控 Mahloof 先生拒绝登上押送他回多妮多岛拘留所的警车并企图逃跑。就这样，Mahloof 先生被关在多妮多岛拘留所，直至2015 年 4 月 12 日高等法院以等待可能进行的审判为由将其释放。高等法院指出，根据《宪法》第 49 条，“在判刑以前不得将任何人羁押，除非存在被告潜逃或不出庭的危险、出于保护公众的需要，或是存在干扰证人或扰乱证据的可能性，迫使法庭作出相反决定。释放可能须要遵守法庭规定的保释条件或其他出庭保障”。高等法院裁决，对 Mahloof 先生的延期拘押不符合《宪法》规定的任何还押条件，因此，为惩罚他拒绝远离四人以上集会而进行的持续拘押是非法的。
9. After the remand hearing, the police accused Mr. Mahloof of refusing to get into the police vehicle returning him to Dhoonidhoo detention centre and of attempting to flee. Mr. Mahloof was thus detained in Dhoonidhoo detention centre until 12 April 2015, when the High Court set him free pending a possible trial. The High Court observed that according to article 49 of the Constitution, “no person shall be detained in custody prior to sentencing, unless the danger of the accused absconding or not appearing at trial, the protection of the public, or potential interference with witnesses or evidence dictate otherwise. The release may be subject to conditions of bail or other assurances to appear as required by the court”. The High Court ruled that the extension of Mr. Mahloof’s detention did not apply to any of the conditions of remand prescribed in the Constitution and therefore his continued detention as a penalty for refusing to avoid assemblies of more than four people was unlawful.
