Prolonged arbitrary detention

Cases of prolonged arbitrary detention, ranging between 3 and 10 months, of Iraqi and Sudanese refugees at the General Security detention center were reported to CLDH in 2012.
In the framework of its legal assistance project, CLDH identified in 2012 an inmate who had been allegedly kept for two months beyond the end of his sentence because he did not have 8 dollars to pay for his judiciary fees. In two other cases, the release papers sent by the court were not received at the prison and the inmate was arbitrarily detained for days or even months.
