Answer:
Yes, citizens should be given financial reparation for unlawful imprisonment.
Explanation:
There is a growing demand for financial reparation for unlawful imprisonment like any other injury claim. People claiming unlawful imprisonment can complain about damages arising out of interference with their right to move freely. A person who has not incurred any substantial injury as a result of unlawful imprisonment can be awarded minimal injury in appreciation of the violation of rights incurred by the wrongful actions of the defendant.
It is indeed true that proper compensation would not undo the damage caused by the victim but it helps them to restore their life.
