Lay off the Defense Lawyers Already
April 13th, 2004The U.S. Congressional Executive Commission on China published this paper many months ago suggesting, inter alia, that China abolish article 306 of the PRC Criminal Law, calling it “an unnecessary provision on evidence fabrication that is often used to harass defense attorneys.”
Today the PRC’s state-supported English language newspaper the China Daily ran this article headlined “Scrapping Article 306 would make law fairer.”
Good for China. Good for the Commission, too.
