Article 13

Personal liberty is inviolable. No form of detention, inspection or personal search nor any other restriction of personal liberty is admissible, except by a reasoned measure issued by a judicial authority, and only in the cases and the manner provided for by law. In exceptional cases of necessity and urgency which are definitively set out by law, law enforcement authorities may adopt temporary measures that must be communicated to a judicial authority within forty-eight hours. Should such measures not be confirmed by the judicial authority within the following forty-eight hours, they shall be revoked and deemed null and void. Any act of physical and moral violence against a person subjected to restrictions of personal liberty shall be punished. The law shall establish a maximum period for preventive detention.
