throughout Lesotho, the right to reside in any part of
Lesotho, the right to enter Lesotho, the right to leave
Lesotho and immunity from expulsion from Lesotho.
(2) Any restriction on a person’s freedom of movement
that is involved in his lawful detention shall not be
held to be inconsistent with or in contravention of
this section.
(3) Nothing contained in or done under the authority of
any law shall be held to be inconsistent with or in
contravention of this section to the extent that the
law in question makes provision—
(a) for the imposition of restrictions in the interest
of defence, public safety, public order, public
morality or public health on the movement or residence
within Lesotho of any person or any person’s right to
leave Lesotho:
Provided that a person shall not be permitted to rely
in any judicial proceedings upon such a provision of
law as is referred to in this paragraph except to the
extent to which he satisfies the court that the
provision or, as the case may be, the thing done under
the authority thereof does not restrict the movement or
residence within Lesotho or the right to leave Lesotho
of the person concerned to a greater extent than is
necessary in a practical sense in a democratic society
in the interests of any of the matters specified in
this paragraph;
