Petitioners must not be confined
Print Edition
NEW rules for better management of petitions state that petitioners must not be confined in any way.
“Various political and legal organs should further regulate the handling of lawsuit-related petitions, resolutely avoiding blocking the people from normal petitioning by any means,” said a circular released yesterday by the general offices of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the State Council.
Petitioning, also called “letters and calls,” is the administrative system for hearing public complaints.
Many complaints are filed each year in China. Petitions often raise complaints about land acquisition, social security, education, healthcare and the environment.
Petitioners can in theory take their grievances to a higher level if they fail to get a satisfactory outcome from local offices, but officials often prevent them from raising cases with their superiors.
