What can I do if wrongfully detained?
A detained person may submit a complaint to a court. In the complaint, one can request examination of the justified and legal character of the decision on escort or detention, and circumstances of their execution. The complaint shall be filed in the district court competent to the place of escort or detention within 7 days from such occurence. If the court deems the detention groundless, then we have the right to demand compensation. Such request shall be presented to a district court.
The detained person has the right to notify an indicated person, employer, university or school about the detention, and, if necessary, to establish contact with their lawyer; such person may ask to talk to the lawyer in person in the presence of a police officer.
A police officer is obliged to deliver to the detained person a copy of the detention protocol.
