ABSTRACT:
Human dignity and freedom is a basic law, designed to protect the main human rights in the State of Israel. As its title makes clear, the law establishes human dignity and freedom as the fundamental values from which the human rights protected in the Basic Law are derived. According to Section 28(a) of the Israeli Arrest Law (Criminal Procedure Law, 1996) the officer in charge of a police station is required to hear the command’s messages before deciding whether to keep him in custody or to release him, that is, before they hear his words, the officer must warn that he is not obliged.

KEY WORDS: Israeli Basic Law: human dignity and freedom, the right to remain silent, Israeli police.
