I would like to ask how long I will be detained and I will call my family.

Family members will be notified by phone within 24 hours after being detained. When the public security organs detain a person, they must produce a detention certificate. After being detained, the detainee shall be immediately sent to a detention center for custody and shall not exceed twenty-four hours. The public security organ will notify someone of his/her criminal detention in the form of a criminal detention notice. Families should consult a professional criminal lawyer as soon as possible or hire a lawyer to meet with the detainee at the detention center.

According to Article 86 of the Criminal Procedure Law, the public security organs shall interrogate the detained person within 24 hours after detention. If it is found that he should not be detained, he must be released immediately and issued a release certificate.

Article 87 When the public security organ requests the arrest of a criminal suspect, it shall write a letter approving the arrest and submit it together with the case file materials and evidence to the People's Procuratorate at the same level for review and approval. When necessary, the People's Procuratorate may send personnel to participate in the discussion of major cases by the public security organs.

Further information about how long you will be detained will be communicated to your family by phone. Go to: /ask/86a 7591615830017.html? ZdSee more
