88. 工作组感谢马尔代夫政府就来文方所作指控提供详细信息。但是，在工作组看来，除了与其律师和家人接触外――来文方和政府在接触频率问题上各持异议，Mahloof 先生跟其他任何在押人员之间没有任何互动。政府自己承认，与Mahloof 先生牢房相邻的牢房都空着，只有一间除外。因此，工作组得出结论认定，Mahloof 先生至少是与一般的监狱在押人员相隔绝。根据《囚犯待遇最低限度标准规则》第 37 条，这是一种惩罚形式，因而必须提供妥善的法律保障并定期进行复议。工作组没有任何关于保障规定是否得到遵守或是是否对其隔离进行了复议的信息。
88. The Working Group is grateful to the Government for the detailed information about the allegations made. However, it does appear to the Working Group that aside from contacts with his lawyers and family, on the frequency of which the source and the Government disagree, Mr. Mahloof has no interaction with any other detainees. By the Government’s own admission, all but one of the cells adjacent to Mr. Mahloof’s cell are unoccupied. The Working Group therefore concludes that as a minimum, Mr. Mahloof is isolated from the general prison population which, according to rule 37 of the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, is a form of punishment and must therefore be subject to appropriate legal safeguards and regular review. The Working Group has no information as to whether the safeguards have been observed or if there has been a review of Mr. Mahloof’s isolation.
