当时没有出示逮捕证，也没有向他们告知逮捕理由或所受指控。工作组回顾，根据《公约》第九条第一款，除非依照法律所确定的根据和程序，任何人不得被剥夺自由。为使剥夺自由具有法律依据，仅仅存在能够证明剥夺自由正当的法律是不够的。当局必须援引这项法律依据，并通过逮捕证将其适用于案件的情况，现行犯罪的情况除外，因为情况足以证明逮捕是正当的。《公约》第九条第二款
Working Group recalls that under article 9 (1) of the Covenant, no one may be deprived of liberty except on such grounds and in accordance with such procedure as are established by law. In order for deprivation of liberty to have a legal basis, the mere existence of a law that may be used to justify it is insufficient. The authorities must invoke this legal basis and apply it to the circumstances of the case by means of an arrest warrant, except in the case of arrests in flagrante delicto where the circumstances are sufficient to justify the arrest.
