Mechanism for Realization
In 2019 PGO revisited all pre-trial detention cases individually, and released all those who did not need to be in detention. In general, all pre-trial detention cases are revisited every 30 days. Sometimes its internal and sometimes they are court mandated processes. As per the established Prosecution Directive, procedures and policies, every 30 days, PGO also collects information on individuals detained by the Maldives Police Service and Maldives Correctional Service. Thus, PGO has conducted periodic reviews of persons under arrest and prolonged remand cases, and published them in various reports, available on the PGO website.
