A family member is held by the police
A letter to the police asking why a person is held, for access to a lawyer and family, and for bail or to be charged or released within the time the law allows.
First: This is urgent. Contact a lawyer or the Legal Aid Board now: they can act faster than a letter. Keep a copy of this letter and note who received it and when.

Goes to: The officer in charge of the police station. Legal information, not legal advice: check the letter before you send it, keep a copy, and note when and to whom you gave it.
