Previously, bail was refused because I consider that it is not likely that he will surrender to custody, and because he has now been moved away from the Awaiting Trial Block and into th
e Sacau dormitory, which I consider complies substantially with the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners.

here is leakage of water inside the dormitory.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7822914  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14290321\charrsid7822914 
These complaints are not sufficient for a conclusion that the dormitory conditions have reached a level of seriousness and humiliation to qualify as a breach of section 25 of the Constitution.
\par 
\par For the removal
 of doubt, Eugene Ladpeter was released, not solely because of the condition of his cell, but also because he is likely to surrender to custody, has no previous convictions other than for one very minor offence, and has no history of escaping.}{

\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14290321\charrsid7822914 Sakiusa Basa was released because the State agreed that he be granted bail.
