request for abrogation of Mr. Suárez-Rosero's detention order (supra, subparagraph
o.), stating that
for the time being, the police report which serves as the basis for initiation of the instant
criminal case, as well as the preliminary statements, suggests that the accused ... : Iván
Suárez-Rosero ... appear[s] to be responsible, so that it would be improper to revoke the
order for [his] preventive detention

which the President of the Superior Court of Justice that had issued the order was
located, the place of detention, the date on which he was deprived of his liberty, the
