    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 8 of the Bill be amended— (a) in subclause (1)— (i) by deleting the words “being detained, held in custody or imprisoned” appearing immediately after the word “upon” in paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the words “the first instance of detention, being held in custody or imprisonment”; (ii) by inserting the words “or movement” immediately after the word “transfer” appearing in paragraph (b); (b) in subclause (2) by deleting the word “liberties” appearing immediately after the words “deprived of” and substituting therefor the word “liberty”; This is to provide that when a person is arrested, their family or a legal representative must be informed. So, we are providing that the person who has been arrested be provided with communication facilities in the first instance. It should not be on a daily basis. Those facilities should be given to an arrested or detained person at the first instance. Once he has made the first call, it should not be on a daily basis to communicate unless they want to do so at their own expense. However, in the first instance, the police must accord that person the right to communicate to their family or a legal representative. So, we are making it very clear that the police must provide the communication facilities. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady."
