Emergency — Arrest, detention and release
You, or a loved one, are facing arrest, detention or a release hearing. Every hour counts.
What to do immediately
Ask to speak with a lawyer without delay. Do not give a version of the facts before consulting. Note the time of arrest, the location and the police station.
Release from custody
The release hearing determines whether the person will remain in custody until trial and under what conditions. These conditions affect daily life for months.
