Is there a time limit for each interrogation by the public security organ?

According to the "Criminal Procedure Law" and the "Procedural Regulations of Public Security Organs in Handling Criminal Cases", after criminal detention of criminal suspects, they must be interrogated within 24 hours. If the criminal suspect is not suspected of committing a crime, he should be released immediately.

The minimum period of criminal detention therefore depends on when the interrogation takes place, if it takes place immediately after the execution of the criminal detention, and if there is no suspicion of a crime.

He may also be released in the short term. If a crime is suspected, detention requires approval by the procuratorate within three days, and the procuratorate will make a decision within seven days.

Therefore, the normal detention time is 1 to 14 days, and the special detention time is up to 37 days.
