Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
The appellant, in pre-trial detention, appealed against the order of the acting President of the Benguela Court of Appeal refusing his habeas corpus application, alleging that the time limit had been exceeded, that he had not been notified and that the measure was insufficiently reasoned. The Court dismissed the appeal because reasoning by reference to the Public Prosecution Service's submission is admissible and none of the exhaustive grounds for habeas corpus under the Code of Criminal Procedure applied.
