This is compared to 1 case documented in 2023. Habeas corpus applications to have the accused presented in court alive or dead were generally ignored.

4 incidents were related to anti-terror responses compared to 5 in 2023, 3 cases resulted from anti-crime operations while 2 were through unknown operations compared to 3 in 2023.
