This research aims to show The extent of the protection afforded
by the European Convention on Human Rights concerning the
right to challenge the legality of detention, especially in light of
what Jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights
shows In this regard.
The discount for pre-trial detention of the sentence period is a fair
idea because it prevents looting freedom sentenced for a longer
period of time set by virtue of a conviction, but this idea becomes
more fairer if a person commits more than one
offense so he stopped up at the disposal of one of them and acquitted them, while spent his conviction for another crime.
This research tried to study this issue through the comparison
between the Syrian and Egyptian legislation by analyzing legal texts governing it.
