New court regulations will require the Prosecutor General (PG) to press charges against suspects arrested in serious crimes within 45 days of their arrest.
The regulation states that suspects arrested in other cases should be charged within 30 days, as well as giving instruction on how to proceed if the PG fails to press charges against a suspect in the given duration.
Furthermore, the new regulation determines different times of the day that police will be able to request a court warrant, as well as the times at which they will be issued.
According to the regulation, if any other institution needs a court warrant to conduct a criminal investigation, it has to request for the warrant through police.
