People are detained, what about their families?

First, if the public security organ or procuratorate restricts the personal freedom of your relatives and friends, according to the law, the summons or compulsory summons can generally not exceed 24 hours, and it is not allowed to detain in disguised form by continuous summons or compulsory summons. If it is a criminal detention, except for three kinds of circumstances that hinder the investigation or cannot be notified, the family members or the unit where the detainee belongs shall be notified within 24 hours.

Second, second, close relatives have the right to know. Whether it is a notice of criminal detention by telephone or email, you can ask the case handlers about the alleged charges and the location of the detention center.

Third, if you are under criminal detention or arrested, only lawyers can see you. According to the existing law, family members or friends can't meet criminal suspects, only when they attend court meetings. During this period, only lawyers are entrusted to enter the detention center to meet with criminal suspects or defendants. Lawyers can enter the detention center to learn the following information: whether your relatives and friends have been tortured to extract confessions, whether they have been bullied or abused by prisoners in the same prison, provide them with legal advice, know about the charges and cases involved, feedback the concerns and hopes of family and friends, and their situation inside, get bail on their behalf, appeal or accuse on their behalf, and so on.

The law stipulates that Article 85 of the Criminal Procedure Law requires the public security organs to produce a detention permit when detaining a person.

After detention, the detained person shall be immediately sent to the detention center for custody, and shall not exceed twenty-four hours. Unless it is impossible to notify or the notification of suspected crimes endangering national security or terrorist activities may hinder the investigation, the family members of the detained person shall be notified within 24 hours after detention. After the circumstances that hinder the investigation disappear, the family members of the detained person shall be notified immediately.

Article 86 The public security organ shall interrogate the detained person within 24 hours after detention. If it is found that it should not be detained, it must be released immediately and a release certificate will be issued.

Whether it is for relatives and friends, or for arrested criminal suspects and defendants, it is most conducive to protecting their legitimate rights and interests to find a lawyer to intervene at the first time.
