The Law introduces international standards regarding employment of preliminary measures alternative to placement in detention. It sets clear-cut criteria and grounds for placement in detention to narrow the cases, when the suspects, the accused or the defendants can be placed in detention.
Under the Law, detention as a pre-trial restriction can be effected in the cases of crimes punishable by imprisonment for more than five years, if a more lenient punishment can not be administered.
The draft is registered under Reg. No. 7084.
