THE principle of respecting and protecting human rights has been written into a draft amendment to the Criminal Procedure Law to be reviewed and voted on this week.
National People's Congress spokesman Li Zhaoxing said: "The Criminal Procedure Law should not only identify criminal facts precisely and swiftly, and correctly impose legal punishment on offenders, but also make sure innocent people are not convicted."
Adding the article of protecting human rights will push judicial authorities to better observe and implement the constitutional principle in actual practice, he said.
According to the draft, the Criminal Procedure Law will go through some major revisions with a number of articles amended and new ones added, Li said.
