If you get into legal trouble, e.g. thrown in jail, in a foreign country, don’t panic.
The first thing you do is present your citizenship papers (e.g. passport and ID) and request a call to your country’s consular office or Embassy. Most police departments in the world recognize a prisoner’s right to seek counsel and in the case of foreign detainees, to allow immediate contact with their nation’s representative.
Secondly, You should immediately contact your family members and close friends to let them help you out of the mess.
The third step is to get a hold of good lawyer in that country, and in particular in that specific city, with knowledge and experience of your type of criminal case.
