A review panel of judges at the Basic Court of Mitrovicë/Mitrovica has confirmed the ruling of the pre-trial judge for O.I's transfer to Mitrovicë/Mitrovica Detention Centre. The Review Panel has indicated that the decision is to be executed immediately, and plans are underway for the transfer.

In the initial ruling of the pre-trial judge, it was assessed that there was no security risk for O.I. in being detained in Prishtinë/Priština Detention Centre. In the Appeal process, the Review Panel found that there were no legal reasons to prevent O.I. from being transferred to the Detention Centre in Mitrovicë/Mitrovica.
