Righting wrongs through the courts
In the past three years, a number of wrongful convictions have been corrected, with more than 20 high-profile ones proven to be wrongly judged since 2012, according to the latest estimates. Judicial authorities have stepped up efforts to address cases that were given wrongful verdicts around the 1990s, with related measures such as a revised criminal procedure law against torture in interrogations rolled out. China Daily will track the latest developments in these areas with in-depth stories in the days ahead.
