The Appeal Court has ordered that Dominic and Genevieve Hadeed be released from prison and placed under house arrest instead.

They will be subject to electronic monitoring and sweeping communication restrictions, as they continue their legal challenge to the Preventive Detention Orders issued against them during the State of Emergency.

According to reports, the Appeal Court judgment was delivered this afternoon, overturning an earlier High Court decision.

The appellate judges found that the State had not provided sufficient particulars to justify their continued detention, adding that while issues of national security are entitled to respect, they do not place the Executive beyond the supervision of the courts.

The Hadeeds have been detained since June 24th following allegations that they were involved in a conspiracy to assassinate Government officials, including Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Attorney General John Jeremie.
