raviarenduse

Raviarendus, or remand, refers to the pretrial detention of a person suspected of a crime. It is a temporary deprivation of liberty intended to secure the investigation, ensure the suspect’s appearance in court, prevent interference with evidence, and protect public safety. The decision to impose raviarendus typically lies with a court or, in some systems, with prosecutors operating under defined legal conditions. Detention is usually subject to time limits and regular judicial review.

The legal framework requires a justified basis for detention, such as risk of flight, risk of tampering with evidence, or risk of reoffending. Detention can occur after arrest or during the investigative phase and may be accompanied by restrictive measures like house arrest, electronic monitoring, or surrender orders, depending on the jurisdiction and the specifics of the case.

During raviarendus, the detainee generally retains certain rights, including being informed of the charges, access to legal counsel, and the ability to challenge the detention. The right to interpretation services and to prompt access to an independent review or appeal of the detention decision is also commonly provided. Detention periods are typically reviewed within set timeframes, and extensions require renewed justification.

Critics of raviarendus emphasize the need for proportionality and safeguards to prevent abuse or unnecessary prolongation of liberty. Proponents argue that timely and lawful remand is essential to effective investigations and to uphold the integrity of the criminal process.

Raviarendus is a component of the pretrial stage of criminal procedure and ends when the person is released, indicted, acquitted, or when alternative measures replace detention.
