Quick fact

In many countries, suspects can be held for months or even years before trial, often for minor crimes, because they cannot afford bail or because legal systems permit prolonged detention.

Imagine being locked up for months or years without ever being convicted of a crime. How can that happen in a system that claims you are innocent until proven guilty?
