  • Silencing Complaints Chinese Human Rights Defenders March 11, 2008
    Silencing Complaints Chinese Human Rights Defenders March 11, 2008 Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) Web: http://crd-net.org/ Email: [email protected] One World, One Dream: Universal Human Rights Silencing Complaints: Human Rights Abuses Against Petitioners in China A report by Chinese Human Rights Defenders In its Special Series on Human Rights and the Olympics Abstract As China prepares to host the Olympics, this report finds that illegal interception and arbitrary detention of petitioners bringing grievances to higher authorities have become more systematic and extensive, especially in the host city of the Olympic Games, Beijing. ―The most repressive mechanisms are now being employed to block the steady stream of petitioners from registering their grievances in Beijing. The Chinese government wants to erase the image of people protesting in front of government buildings, as it would ruin the meticulously cultivated impression of a contented, modern, prosperous China welcoming the world to the Olympics this summer,‖ said Liu Debo,1 who participated in the investigations and research for this report. Petitioners, officially estimated to be 10 million, are amongst those most vulnerable to human rights abuses in China today. As they bring complaints about lower levels of government to higher authorities, they face harassment and retaliation. Officially, the Chinese government encourages petitions and has an extensive governmental bureaucracy to handle them. In practice, however, officials at all levels of government have a vested interest in preventing petitioners from speaking up about the mistreatment and injustices they have suffered. The Chinese government has developed a complex extra-legal system to intercept, confine, and punish petitioners in order to control and silence them, often employing brutal means such as assault, surveillance, harassment of family members, kidnapping, and incarceration in secret detention centers, psychiatric institutions and Re-education through Labor camps.

  • A Qualitative Study on the Judicial Social Services for Juvenile Delinquents Ningxin LIU Department of Sociology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China
    2020 2nd International Conference on Pedagogy, Communication and Sociology (ICPCS 2020) ISBN: 978-1-60595-663-3 A Qualitative Study on the Judicial Social Services for Juvenile Delinquents Ningxin LIU Department of Sociology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China Keywords: juvenile delinquency, judicial social service, juvenile justice system Abstract. Juvenile delinquents have become one of the groups that gained much attention from society currently. The present situation and the changes attached to this group have become a significant social topic as well. Through the advance and improvement of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China for the group of juvenile delinquents, the Department of Juvenile in many areas has applied the idea of "less arrestment and less litigation” to juvenile delinquents in the procuratorate system as a result of making more effort to provide the future development of juvenile delinquents. And based on this idea, more needs of judicial social services emerged in doing social inquiry reports and following-up monitoring to juvenile delinquents from government departments. This passage is based on the interview with the manager of Department of Juvenile of People's Procuratorate of Enshi City Hubei Province and one of the social workers in Siyecao Social Work Agency in Jingzhou City Hubei Province, and the analysis for the current situation of the judicial social services. And the corresponding suggestions offered in the passage are partially drawing on the experiences of previous studies and cases from other districts. 1. Introduction The revision of the documents published by the Supreme People's Procuratorate of the People's Republic of China showed changes in several aspects of the Juvenile Justice System.
