Prosecution has appealed High Courts order that Aishath Shadhiya, who was arrested for protesting against Israel near embassies in Maldives was wrongful at the Supreme Court.

Shadhiya and Dr Shazra Ibrahim were arrested twice last month for participating in these protests but are currently on conditional release following Criminal Court extending their remand on two occasions.

Last week, High Court ruled that Shadhiya's five day detention was unlawful. Prosecution had appealed the case at the Supreme Court last Thursday.

However, Supreme Court is yet to take a decision on whether it will accept the appeal.

Although Shadhiya sought compensation citing illegal detention, High Court ruled that it could not rule on the compensation sought by Shadhiya at this stage.
