Summary
Amendment No. 2 (2010) extending special detention procedures for security-offence suspects, in a Description-only entry in Discriminatory Laws Database (lines 1886-1932).
Details
- Enacted 20 December 2010; delay before a judge up to 96 hours instead of 48, detention extensions up to 20 days at a time instead of 15, and extension hearings in the suspect’s absence (lines 1898-1904).
- The entry says the law seeks to bypass a February 2010 Supreme Court decision striking down article 5 of the 2006 temporary order, and that removing safeguards risks torture, ill-treatment and false confessions (lines 1906-1912).
