Habeas corpus is an internationally used legal term related to the idea of a democratic state, which means that no one can be imprisoned without a conviction. The detainee must have an absolute right, controlled by a judge, to consult a lawyer after his arrest and the right to inform his relatives or friends of his detention and, if necessary, to see a doctor. The accused must have access to the materials used by the investigating authorities in reviewing the decision to detain the accused.
