Abstract:
Detention is a forceful effort taken to confine freedom in the movement of a suspected person
committing a crime in the aim of accelerating criminal justice. However, it does not mean
that prisoners whose liberty is confined can be treated arbitrarily in the form of torture, cruel
treatment and discrimination. This study aims at observing the implementation of the rights
of suspects for not being tortured and cruelly treated in the detention process and the
obstacles in the implementation of these rights. The findings shows that this kind of
implementation has not been optimally realized as torture practice and cruel treatment due to
the weak understanding of law instruments against torture and arrogance of the legal officials
are still found.
