NPC set to debate laojiao
Print Edition
Chinese lawmakers will deliberate a motion to abolish the laojiao program, or reeducation through labor, at a bimonthly session next week.
According to the agenda for the December 23-28 session of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, a State Council motion includes abolition of reeducation through labor.
The laojiao system was adopted in 1957 for minor offenders whose crime is not severe enough to warrant court proceedings. It allows for detention of up to four years without an open trial.
The motion follows key policy decisions last month stating that laojiao should be abolished to protect human rights. Also on the agenda is a resolution on birth policy, following a proposal to allow couples to have a second child if one parent is an only child.
