CHINA TO IMPROVE EVIDENCE IN DEATH PENALTY CASES: STATE MEDIA

19 August 2009 :

China is to introduce tighter rules governing prosecution evidence in death penalty cases, state media said. The chief prosecutor's office, or Supreme People's Procuratorate, will for the first time introduce regulations stating how prosecutors should review such evidence before the cases go to trial. Prosecutors will be told to dismiss evidence obtained by torture, and interrogators who are suspected of using torture will be investigated and punished, the report said, citing Zhu Xiaoqing, a deputy chief prosecutor.
