BEIJING: China for the first time has issued guidelines aimed at preventing wrongful or unjust court judgements in response to high-profile judicial scandals, state media reported yesterday.
The guidelines were released by the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs, part of the Communist Party’s Central Committee, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
The guidelines also stipulated that judges, prosecutors and police will bear “life-long responsibility” for any role they played in wrongful judgements, Xinhua said.
