Key legal question
Whether the appellant had to be released from removal detention because the detention review was conducted without an oral hearing.
Extracted holding
No immediate release was warranted; the procedural defect required annulment and a new decision after an oral hearing within 96 hours.
Extracted reasoning
Although Art. 13c(4) ANAG makes an oral hearing mandatory, not every procedural violation results in release. Given the continued detention grounds and the interest in prompt removal, the defect could be cured only by remittal for a proper hearing.
