The appellant, in pre-trial detention ordered by the Public Prosecution Service, appealed against the Supreme Court judgment refusing his habeas corpus application, citing chronic illness, risks to his safety, lack of reasoning in the detention order and breach of the separation of powers. The Court found the appeal unfounded, as the order was not wholly unreasoned, the separation of powers issue had not been raised before the Supreme Court and none of the rights invoked had been infringed.
