Abstract

Although China has raised more procedures for protecting rights of suspects or the accused, it is still difficult for the judiciary to independently and impartially exercise its power in excluding the illegally obtained evidence and acquitting the accused by law. The high risk of wrongful convictions remains, mainly due to inadequate restriction on power abuses, more attention paid to crime control than to human rights protection and undue interference with courts independence in law or in practice.
