The right of a detainee to be visited by relatives and other persons: a criminal and procedural aspect

The article considers the issue of the suspect’s (accused) right to a visit at the stage of preliminary investigation of a criminal case. The author notes that it is necessary to form a uniform procedure for the legal permission of the visit by considering an application and exercising the right to the appeal in case of court refusal. Analyzing the connection between this right and personal constitutional human rights, an attempt is made to substantiate the necessity of procedural fixing of the visiting rights by introducing an addition into articles 46, 47 of the Criminal Process Code of the Russian Federation.
