A spokesman for the Home Office said he was an absconder rather than an escapee, as he was officially allowed out of prison on licence. |
They must get a signed warrant from a judge before sending law-enforcement officers after the absconder. |
The committee found that absconder are contributing to the increased presence of expatriates in the Sultanate. |
The law would claim him as an absconder, and would mete out to him such punishment as was fitting. |
Indeed, it seems that an attempt to arrest the real absconder on the basis of this warrant would have been unlawful, since he was not the person named in it. |
The absconder is often too inarticulate and ill at ease to give a clear picture of what was in his mind when he went away. |
