Police have started implementing monitoring and control orders against five suspected criminals.
The police last week asked the High Court for monitoring and control orders for nine people seen as a “danger to society or suspected to attempt an act that is not in line with expected social behaviour”.
It is not clear if the five are part of the nine ‘MoniCon’ orders sought as police refused to give further details.
“We have begun implementing MoniCon orders against five people. We are implementing as quickly as possible, as orders are being granted,” police spokesman Ahmed Shifan told the Maldives Independent.
