China's procuratorial organs have, in the past five years, stepped
up supervision on detection and judgment of criminal cases, on
prosecution of verdicts as well as on lawsuit proceedings of civil
and administrative cases, chief prosecutor Han Zhubin said in
Beijing Tuesday.
Han, the procurator-general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate,
made the remark in his report on the work of the Supreme People's
Procuratorate to the fourth plenary meeting of the ongoing First
Session of the 10th National People's Congress (NPC).
In
the past five years, he noted, the procuratorial organs in China
have supervised and urged police to file up 36,955 cases in
accordance with law, approved the arrest of 50,863 suspects and
lodged lawsuits against 25,297 suspects, who had previously escaped
from the punishment.
Han went on to say that thanks to the enhanced efforts of the
procuratorial organs, 466,357 people proven innocent avoided being
arrested and another 106,715 innocent people were freed from being
sued over the past five years.
The procuratorial organs have lodged disapproval documents
concerning a large number of wrong verdicts or set forth
procuratorial proposals for correction, he acknowledged, thus
safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of relevant
parties.
Meanwhile, the procuratorial organs across China have intensified
their fight against corruption, malpractice of justice and abuse of
power in lawsuit proceedings, and have filed trial against 24,886
staff members of judicial departments, who were suspected of
committing criminal offenses, the procurator-general said.
