[…] When arresting illegal immigrants, the body mentioned in the foregoing paragraph shall treat them in a humanitarian manner that preserves their dignity and rights and that does not violate their money or moveable property.
Personal life is sacred. It may not be infringed upon save in the event of contravention of public order and morals, damage to others, or complaint from one of the parties involved.
Without prejudice to any penalty imposed by another law, whoever deprives a human being from any of his rights due to the class, group, region or entity to which such human being belongs or due to his sex or colour, shall be sentenced to prison.
Imprisonment for a minimum period of five years shall be incurred by anyone who inflicts or orders another person to inflict physical or mental pain on a detainee under his control in order to extract a confession for any act that such detainee has or has not committed, or because of discrimination, regardless of its type, or revenge, regardless of its motive.
The same penalty shall be inflicted on whoever covers up an act of torture despite his ability to stop it.
The imprisonment sentence shall be not less than eight years if the torture results in substantial harm, and not less than ten years if the torture leads to serious harm. In the event of the torture victim’s death, the penalty shall be life imprisonment.
A suspect shall be deemed innocent until proven guilty by a judicial ruling. However, legal action may be taken against him insofar as he is still accused.
