to cracking down on crimes that posed a threat to state security,
said Han Zhubin, procurator-general of the Supreme People's
Procuratorate, Tuesday.
Delivering the Report on the Work of the Supreme People's
Procuratorate to the annual session of the 10th National People's

years, procuratorial organs around the country approved the arrest
of 3,402 criminal suspects and prosecuted 3,550 on charge of crimes

activities such as explosion, murder and arson conducted by
terrorist forces, ethnic separatist forces and religious extremist
forces, said Han.
He
said that the procuratorial organs approved the arrest of and
prosecuted a number of criminal suspects accused of organizing and
utilizing cult organizations like the Falun Gong cult to sabotage
the execution of laws, in strict accordance with relevant
resolutions of the NPC Standing Committee.

a total of 3,601,357 criminal suspects and prosecuted 3,666,142,
