Oversight of the legality of provisional detention

Abstract

Temporary imprisonment is a procedure that violates the freedom of individuals, which made its legitimacy dependent on the effective safeguards surrounded by law, which ensure the strengthening of the presumption of innocence that each individual is supposed to enjoy. Therefore, in order to protect these same guarantees from the risk of abuse, the Algerian legislator sought to monitor the legality of temporary detention by the authorities that were granted this authority, as supervision is a means to limit the arbitrariness of the competent authority in its issuance, to ensure that this procedure meets the conditions. And the justifications that make it a legal and logical procedure that proves its legitimacy.
