In the US they have held suspects of the 911 attacks now for almost 20 years.
Then one must also look at detention without justification such as Walus - whose continued detention hangs on very slender threads of legality and legitimacy.
The judicial system itself produces abhorrent cases:
The ANC's good friend China is also no stranger to these abuses.
In recent years, [Chinese] government policy has been marked by mass surveillance and the incarceration without trial of over one million Uyghurs and other Muslim minority ethnic groups in "re-education camps", supposedly for 'anti-terrorist' purposes.[18][19] Numerous reports have stated that many of these minorities have been used in prison labour in a seeming return to the "re-education through labour" program, supposedly abolished in 2013.[20] As of May 2020, the last terrorist attack was in 2014, before the concentration camps were established.[21][22][23][failed verification]
The use of administrative detention in China has been criticized by international human rights organizations, as well as by domestic groups. These criticisms maintain that the police often abuse their power, that the execution of these powers is at the complete discretion of the police, and that there are no legal constraints placed on their execution.
