Bill proposes punishing war of invasion glorifiers
Print Edition
Chinese lawmakers are reviewing a draft law to protect the reputation and honor of heroes and martyrs, vowing to punish those who 鈥済lorify wars of invasion鈥 and disturb the social order.
People who profane the deeds and spirit of the heroes and martyrs and those who glorify wars or acts of invasion and disturb the social order will be punished, according to the second draft law submitted to the top legislature for review yesterday.
The wording was added following incidents in which a few people donned Japanese World War II army uniforms and spread the photos online to glorify the war of invasion, triggering a strong public backlash.
The legislation aims to promote patriotism and socialist core values, said the draft.
In another development, the lawmakers also submitted a second draft of a law on 鈥減eople鈥檚 assessors鈥 to the national legislature for review yesterday, suggesting to grant assessors a bigger role in court.
It recognizes that the assessors 鈥渉ave equal rights鈥 as professional judges in trials, unless the law specifically provides otherwise. The assessors are also allowed to participate in legal proceedings in which the death penalty is possible and other cases with 鈥渟evere social impacts,鈥 according to the draft.
The draft was first submitted to the National People鈥檚 Congress Standing Committee last December. The legislation was based on a decision of the committee in 2004 to improve the use of people鈥檚 assessors, and a pilot program in 10 provincial-level regions began in 2015.
The NPC Constitution and Law Committee has suggested putting the draft to vote at this legislative session, said a committee report read to the lawmakers.
