Right to life, liberty and security. Prohibition of torture, slavery, arbitrary arrest, and detention.<\/span><\/h2>\n
We all have the right to live, to be free and safe. No one has the right to exploit us, torture us or treat us humiliatingly or inhumanely. If you are arrested by the police or go to prison\/detention for any reason, this must always be provided by law. You always have the right to defend yourself and to communicate with a lawyer.<\/div>\n

Why is it useful in your everyday life?
\n<\/strong>Forcing you to work for little or no money, for long hours and under poor conditions, or forcing you to have sex with or without payment, or forcing you to marry at a very young age are forms of exploitation or contemporary slavery and are prohibited.
\nAlso, all kinds of torture are forbidden. Thus, it is forbidden to be treated inhumanely by causing you physical or psychological pain in order to force you to give information or to intimidate you or as a way to persuade you to do something that you do not want. Examples of torture could be rape, to receive threats that your family will be harmed, to keep you tied up for days, etc.
\nIt is forbidden to be detained in a dirty place or cell with many other people for many days, without a window or in very bad conditions without even the very basic standards.
\nYou should know that the death penalty has been abolished in all European countries and in many countries of the world.
\nIt is forbidden to be arrested without a justified decision, unless you are being arrested while committing an illegal act. In any case, you have the right to talk with a lawyer. If you do not have valid legal documents, the police can decide your detention in order to return you to your country of origin. In this case, also, there must be a justified decision.<\/p>\n
