Dr. Richard Lee’s legal team has formally requested his release from detention and placement under house arrest, citing illness as the primary reason. The request seeks to change his detention status to *tahanan kota* – effectively house arrest – allowing him to receive medical care while still remaining accountable to the legal process.

The court will now consider the petition and determine whether to approve the change in detention conditions. This development follows [previous context not provided in the source text].
