In all matters and at all stages of the proceedings, except where there is a serious risk that the offence will be repeated, the release of a person remanded in custody may be ordered, ex officio or at the request of the person concerned, where a medical assessment establishes that the person is suffering from a life-threatening condition or that his or her state of physical or mental health is incompatible with continued detention.
In urgent cases, release may be ordered on the basis of a medical certificate drawn up by the doctor in charge of the health facility in which that person is being cared for or by that doctor’s substitute.
The decision to release may be accompanied by placement under judicial supervision or house arrest with electronic surveillance.
Changes in the person’s state of health may constitute a new factor allowing him or her to be the subject of a new decision to be remanded in custody, in accordance with the procedures set out in this code, provided that the conditions for this measure set out in article 144 are met.
