English term (edited): is not lifted

is not abolished / is not deleted / is not recalled

is the meaning (but the truncated sentence delivered makes it a bit difficult to give a precise answer, hence my providing three options)
Note from asker:
abolished i think that may be close...

released

I believe release is also suitable in that context to denote a liberation from the conservatory attachment.
