Part 3/7:
Detention and Interrogation: An Overview of Rights
The creator explained the strangling limitations of this process. Not only do detainees have no right to remain silent, but they also must provide passwords for electronic devices or face serious repercussions, including charges under terrorism legislation. With no legal support readily available, the creator felt compelled to comply, handing over their devices and passwords.
As the interrogation commenced, the officers asked a series of invasive questions about the creator's recent travels, including the purpose of their visits and the people they met. This focus on their activities in the United States and El Salvador soon shifted towards personal history, encompassing their education, employment, and finances.
