The right to stay silent — Defence Hall · Justice
In the Lantern Club story, Juno is asked lots of questions about a lost library book and feels pushed to say it was her.
Your task
Choose what is fair at each step.
- In many places, nobody can be forced to confess, and a person may stay silent until they have had help.
- An invented story to learn from, not legal advice. Laws differ from country to country. For a real problem, talk to a trusted adult or a lawyer.
- Everyone is equal before the law. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- Understanding justice — You understood how this part of justice works.
- Fairness — You treated everyone fairly and listened to all sides.
- Safe & ask for help — You stayed safe and knew when to ask a trusted adult.
In real life
In many places the right not to be forced to confess is protected, because pressure can make people say untrue things.
Defence Hall
Invented stories to learn from, not legal advice. Laws differ from country to country. For a real problem, talk to a trusted adult or a lawyer; in an emergency call your country's number (112 in the EU). Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
