Denmark

Constitution

Part VIII [Individual Rights]

Section 71 [Personal Liberty]

(1) Personal liberty shall be inviolable. No Danish subject shall in any manner whatever be deprived of his liberty because of his political or religious convictions or because of his descent.
(2) A person shall be deprived of his liberty only where this is warranted by law.
(3) Any person who is taken into custody shall be brought before a judge within twenty-four hours. Where the person taken into custody cannot be released immediately, the judge shall decide, stating the grounds in an order to be given as soon as possible and at the latest within three days, whether the person taken into custody shall be committed to prison, and in cases where he can be released on bail, the judge shall determine the nature and amount of such bail. This provision may be departed from by Statute as far as Greenland is concerned, if for local considerations such departure may be deemed necessary.
(4) The finding given by the judge may at once be separately appealed against by the person concerned to a higher court of justice.
(5) No person shall be remanded for an offence that can involve only punishment consisting of a fine or mitigated imprisonment.
(6) outside criminal procedure the legality of deprivation of liberty which is not by order of a judicial authority, and which is not warranted by the legislation dealing with aliens, shall at the request of the person who has been deprived of his liberty, or at the request of any person acting on his behalf, be brought before the ordinary courts of justice or other judicial authority for decision. Rules governing this procedure shall be provided by Statute.
(7) The persons mentioned in Subsection (6) shall be under supervision by a board set up by the Parliament, to which board the persons concerned shall be permitted to apply.
