Verbatim Statement

You are being detained by HLN personnel under authorized jurisdiction.

You are not presumed liable.

You have the right to know the reason for your detention. That reason will be provided to you in writing within twelve standard hours.

You have the right to representation by counsel or an accredited civil advocate. If you do not have one, you may request assistance in obtaining one.

You have the right to review the evidence used to support any formal charge, subject to lawful security limitations.

You may ask an independent tribunal to review your detention without waiting for the ordinary review interval. Formal charges must be filed within forty-eight standard hours or you must be released.

You will be asked for the information necessary to establish your identity. If you do not have a Universal Citizen ID record or cannot access it, tell the officer so that another means of verification can be arranged; that absence alone is not grounds for detention.

You are not required to make a statement regarding the alleged violation.

If you choose to make a statement, it will be recorded and may be used in tribunal proceedings.

You will receive humane treatment and medical screening.

Do you understand these rights as they have been explained to you?
