Evidence and document review
Our review covers identity and case details, detention or summons records, known authority contact and relevant urgent-needs information. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.
What rights apply when someone is detained in a Saudi criminal case?
Articles 36–38 require humane treatment, notice of the reasons and the right to contact a person the detainee wishes to inform. Custody requires an authorised, reasoned order with a specified duration at a lawful detention facility. Record the arrest time, issuing authority and order duration; counsel can examine the basis and raise a custody complaint with the competent prosecution authority. Special statutory regimes require separate review. Identify the person, authority, known location, time of detention and any reference or order. State urgent medical, interpretation or contact needs. The immediate task is to establish the actual position and available legal assistance, not infer the outcome from an allegation.
