CMLP 2.3_English: Arrest Detention and Exit Denial

Where the rule of law is weak, where marked legal differences occur, and where prison conditions present a physical and psychological risk to detainees then the ability for organizations to react in a timely and effective manner to a detention, arrest or potential exit denial situation is important. This is especially true where arrests may be reflective of corruption or coercion influences, where gender and LGBTQIA risks are pronounced, and where detainees are not provided a safe environment, medical treatment and medicines, or indeed food and other essential personal items during detention. The crisis response must be focused on ensuring that individuals and their families are cared for, while concurrently managing the legal challenges associated with an incident.
