A '''right of release''' is a proclamation declared by [[Sangheili]] to establish intent to rescue [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]]. Among Sangheili society, capture and imprisonment is a far greater humiliation than death, as it denied a noble death in battle. When a [[kaidon]] was captured, it was common for his captors to chose to imprison him for the rest of his life rather than [[Capital punishment|execute]] him to bring shame and dishonor to the kaidon and his kin. However, if a member of the imprisoned Sangheili's bloodline invoked a right of release, the individual would then attempt to rescue their relatives. | A '''right of release''' is a proclamation declared by [[Sangheili]] to establish intent to rescue [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]].
