From a document about torture from Spain.
Las medidas de protección que se adoptan con la finalidad de proteger a denunciantes de malos tratos, son las propias para asegurar su libre testimonio, bien en presencia policial o en sede judicial, con todas las garantías que contemplan las leyes procesales en el caso de encontrase privado de libertad.
I know the meaning here but not sure what the English term would be.
