You or your representative

When you are placed in a mental health care institution involuntarily due to the danger created by the crime committed and your mental incapacity or diminished mental capacity, you or your representative have the right to regularly ask for a review of the need to continue the involuntary placement.

Your doctor and the prosecutor

In addition, your doctor and the prosecutor may ask for a review. 

The court

The court, which has control over your involuntary placement, must initiate a review if no one has asked for a review within six months after the previous decision.
