He was examined by Dr Lin Hanjie, who referred him to the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for treatment at about 10.20pm. He was discharged from IMH at about 7pm on the same day. The law also provides for the police officer enforcing this to be protected from liability to civil or criminal proceedings “unless he has acted in bad faith or without reasonable care”. At about 8pm, Mr Rosli and his partner found Mr Mah near a stone bench, and, with the assistance of two other officers, handcuffed him and apprehended him under the Act. He said: “I find on a balance of probabilities that Rosli, knowing that he had no power to arrest Mah for the matter complained of because it was not an arrestable offence, took a dislike to Mah for his apparently disrespectful conduct, including not handing his identity card directly to him. In a written judgment issued on Thursday, Justice Philip Jeyaretnam found that police officer Mohamed Rosli Mohamed had made up the observation that Mr Mah had been mumbling to himself and had spat into a plastic bag, to justify apprehending him under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act.

NEC: Setha's arrest will not affect election or eligibility to participate (The Phnom Penh Post)

The National Election Committee (NEC) said the recent arrest of Thach Setha, vice-president of the Candlelight Party (CP) on the order of the Phnom Penh ...

“If a party that believes the election will somehow be unfair, they should not register with the NEC, but let other parties contest at the polls. His case is civil, and the arrest was a threat that cannot be allowed to stand. In the meantime, party leaders are negotiating with the ruling party to ease tensions. It is clear that this is part of the opposition’s playbook,” he said. The party will have to review the facts clearly before making a decision. He noted that relevant authorities also have the duty to enforce the law.

Michelle Renee Evans is also facing charges of failure to appear in court and violating the terms of her pretrial release agreement.

Adair County authorities charged Evans with six counts of animal neglect causing unjustified pain, distress or suffering, resulting in serious injury or death. A warrant was issued for Evans’ arrest in that case. The next day, members of the pet rescue went to Evans’ property in Bridgewater in response to a request to take away seven additional dogs, five of which had to be taken to a pet hospital in Des Moines for treatment. A few days later, police executed a search warrant at Evans’ Bridgewater property and found “excessive animal waste” inside the home. Evans is being held on a cash-only bond of $20,000, according to Adair County District Court records. One dog had to be taken to an animal hospital for a blood transfusion because of flea-bite anemia.

In a written judgment issued on Thursday (Jan 19), Justice Philip Jeyaretnam found that police officer Mohamed Rosli Mohamed had made up the observation that ...

He was discharged from IMH at about 7pm on the same day. Justice Jeyaretnam said that in awarding $20,000, he took into account the fact that Mah was handcuffed and kept in a police cell, rather than taken directly to IMH, which would have been less stressful for him. The Attorney-General suggested that if Mah’s claims are made out, he was entitled to not more than $15,000 for false imprisonment and not more than $4,000 for assault and battery. The judge dismissed the claim against the other officer, Lawrence Tan Thiam Chin, who had handcuffed Mah at the police lock-up and escorted him to another cell for him to relieve himself. In a written judgment issued on Thursday (Jan 19), Justice Philip Jeyaretnam found that police officer Mohamed Rosli Mohamed had made up the observation that Mah had been mumbling to himself and had spat into a plastic bag, to justify apprehending him under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act. The officer initially claimed in an affidavit that Mah was “mumbling to himself at times” but later withdrew the assertion after viewing body-worn camera footage.
