More MoniCon orders granted as police stay quiet on tagging
Police ask the High Court for a MoniCon order once a Home Ministry committee has approved the individuals to be monitored and controlled
25 Oct 2017, 9:00 AM
The police have tagged seven suspected gang members after the High Court granted monitoring and control orders, but are refusing to say if electronic tagging is being used.
“We have now implemented the order against seven people,” police spokesman Ahmed Shifan said, declining to give further details.
Police have already said ‘MoniCon’ orders have been imposed on five people seen as a “danger to society or suspected to attempt an act that is not in line with expected social behaviour”.
Local media outlet Mihaaru reported that orders could not be implemented against some individuals because their whereabouts were unknown.
