Official sourceArticle 94
No one may be taken into custody or otherwise be deprived of their liberty except in the
cases determined by law and in the manner prescribed by law. Deprivation of liberty must be
necessary and must not constitute a disproportionate infringement.
Persons arrested shall as soon as possible be brought before a court. Others who have
been deprived of their liberty have the right to bring their deprivation of liberty before a court
without unjustified delay.
Those responsible for the unwarranted arrest or illegal detention of a person shall be
answerable to the person concerned.
