Constitución en Inglés
25 Corte Constitucional de Colombia Evidence obtained in violation of due process is null and void by right. Whoever is deprived of his/her freedom and believes that this deprivation is illegal is entitled to invoke habeas corpus before any legal authority, at any time, on his/her own or through a third party. Recourses of habeas corpus must be resolved within thirty-six hours. Any judicial sentence may be appealed or reviewed unless otherwise provided by law. When the accused is the sole appellant, the higher court may not impose a heavier penalty. An offender who is caught in flagrante delicto may be apprehended and taken before a judge by any person. Should he/she be subject to hot pursuit by agents of law and order and take refuge in his/her own home, the law-enforcement agents may enter the domicile to apprehend the accused. Should the accused take refuge in someone else’s home, a formal legal demand shall be presented to the resident [before authorities may enter]. No one may be forced to testify against himself/herself or his/her spouse, domestic partner, or family member to the fourth degree of consanguinity, the second degree of affinity, or the first civil degree. The penalties of banishment and confiscation are prohibited. ARTICLE 30 ARTICLE 31 ARTICLE 32 ARTICLE 33 ARTICLE 34
