Regulation targets judicial meddling

Latest measure will help authorities ensure independence and credibility of legal system

Chinese officials who meddle in judicial cases will soon find their names on a blacklist that leads to internal punishments or legal consequences, according to a new regulation.

The Communist Party of China Central Committee and State Council published a host of measures on Monday to record all officials who interfere in judicial cases and to publicly name violators to hold them accountable in the latest effort to ensure judicial independence and transparency.
