A magistrate court in southern Laamu Atoll has released a young man arrested on charges of assault on the condition that he goes fishing to earn an income and attends prayers at the island mosque.
Ali Thasmeen, 19 years, was arrested on the island of Gan for his alleged involvement in a gang fight. The Gan magistrate court released him on Thursday with a set of conditions.
“He signed an agreement. It says he was released from police custody with conditions,” a court official confirmed. These include staying home between 10pm and 7am, and attending religious sermons at the mosque.
The same court had conditioned the release of a 22-year-old man in October on cutting and maintaining his hair “nice and short.”
