72. 此外，工作组必须注意 Mahloof 先生对马尔代夫政治长期、积极的参与。还值得注意的是，根据《宪法》第 73 条第(c)款第(2)项，被判定犯有刑事罪行并服刑超过 12 个月者，不再具备参选国家立法机关的资格。Mahloof 先生已获判两个刑期：一个是 4 个月零 24 天，另一个是 6 个月。两项刑事罪行的监禁期加起来将近 11 个月，使 Mahloof 先生离失去资格成为马尔代夫人民在国家立法机关中的民选代表只有咫尺之遥。
72. Moreover, the Working Group must take note of the long-standing and active involvement of Mr. Mahloof in Maldivian politics. It is also notable that according to 3 See opinion No. 40/2005. 4 See opinions No. 33/2015 and No. 59/2016. article 73 (c) (2) of the Constitution, a person is disqualified from standing for election to the national legislature if that person has been convicted of a criminal offence and is serving a sentence of more than 12 months. Mr. Mahloof has received two sentences: one for 4 months and 24 days and the other for 6 months. The cumulative imprisonment time for these two criminal offences is nearly 11 months, bringing him very close to being barred from being an elected representative of the Maldivian people in the national legislature.
