Prosecutors crack down on false evidence

Effort aims to prevent injustice by creating procedures for identifying problems in cases

Prosecuting departments will step up efforts to identify false evidence presented by public security officials to prevent miscarriages of justice, a senior official from the Supreme People's Procuratorate said on Wednesday.

"Prosecutors must insist on correcting false evidence and uncovering miscarriages of justice in appeal cases," said Cao Jianming, prosecutor-general at the SPP, while delivering a report to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
