Questions & Answers
How can I inform authorities I signed a police statement I didn't understand?
Good Day,
As someone unfamiliar with local laws and a non-Arabic speaker, the police took my statement but did not provide a translation and told me to sign. I have no idea what they wrote or presented in the case.
The case is now with the Public Prosecution. What should I do to ensure the authorities are aware of this?

Good Day,
Thank you for reaching out with your concern!
It's crucial to fully understand the contents of any statement, especially when dealing with legal matters.
In your case, since the statement was taken without translation, this could potentially be grounds for concern as you were not fully informed of what you were signing.
I would recommend immediately informing the Public Prosecution of the situation and requesting an official translation of your statement. Additionally, it's important to ensure that your rights are protected moving forward.
