Dreptul unui suspect de terorism de a fi informat despre motivele arestării sale
The right of suspected terrorists to be informed with respect of the reasons for their arrest

Summary/Abstract: The exercise of police powers such as arrest and detention represents an invasion of personal liberty which is tolerated in the interests of the prevention and detection of crime. The use of these powers remains a contentious matter which continues to attract public attention, especially as it has frequently been suggested that they may be employed in discriminatory fashion. Deprivation of liberty, in the form of stop, search or arrest, can occur only on the basis of law and in specific circumstances, including, under article 5 paragraph 1(b) ECHR, the detention of a person in order to secure the fulfillment of any obligation prescribed by law; and, under article 5 paragraph 1(c) ECHR, the lawful detention of a person effected for the purpose of bringing him before the competent legal authority on reasonable suspicion of the person’s having committed an offence. Not less important is the requirement that the information should be given in a language which the suspect understands.
