BEIJING, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- China has reiterated 1 its ban on corporal punishment and forced self-incrimination in police investigations 3 in a revised regulation on the handling of criminal cases.
The revised regulation, released on Wednesday by the Ministry 4 of Public Security, is aimed at helping 5 courts adapt to the newly amended 6 Criminal Procedure Law, which stresses "respecting and protecting human rights."
The regulation features a provision that bans coerced 7 confessions 8 and torture in its general principle chapter, as well as clarifies the range of activities that may be recorded or videotaped to boost real-time investigation 2 monitoring.
It further clarifies the rights of suspects who are in detention 9, such as their right to have contact with lawyers, inform family members of forced measures and receive food.
A substantial number of rules related to lawyers' engagement in criminal proceedings 10, evidence usage and investigative measures were modified.
Stipulations for criminal cases concerning foreigners and international police cooperation were also modified, according to the regulation.
The revised regulation will take effect on Jan. 1, 2013, along with the amended Criminal Procedural Law.
