The High Court has rejected an appeal challenging the criminal court’s decision to hold Adhaalath Party president Sheikh Imran Abdulla in police custody until the conclusion of his trial on terrorism charges.
The High Court reportedly informed Imran’s lawyers last week that the appellate court could not review decisions of judges to hold defendants in custody for the duration of a trial.
Imran’s lawyer Husnu Suood told local media today that the High Court’s decision not to accept the case will be appealed at the Supreme Court.
The religious conservative party’s leader is accused of inciting violence at a mass anti-government protest on May 1.
