A report issued by the Tadamun Foundation on the occasion of the International Day for Universal Access to Information, observed on September 28, explained that access to information concerning detainees goes beyond being an administrative procedure and constitutes a fundamental safeguard for protecting them from arbitrary detention, torture, ill-treatment, and death in custody.
