Is it possible to remain silent in front of the security officers’ questions during the arrest?

Question:
The agents arrested my brother, who is a little-known Facebook activist, and now he is free on bail. During the interrogation, my brother did not answer any questions and was harassed a lot. The officers have threatened him that because of this a heavy sentence will be issued to him, I wanted to know if the arrested person can remain silent and not answer the questions of the security officers?
yes Any defendant can remain silent and not answer the questions of the officers or judicial authorities. Silence is one of the defense rights of the accused. Especially when the questions are not related to the crime or are about personal issues, it is better for the accused to use this right. For example, if a journalist is arrested for writing an article on press charges, but the security agents or judicial authorities question him about his personal relationships, this question is not related to the crime, and the accused must use his right to remain silent.
good luck
