英闻天下——604 Courtroom Participants Forbidden to Broadcast Trials

China's top court has banned participants or bystanders in legal proceedings 1 from recording 2 or videotaping trials.
The broadcast of courtroom activities live via e-mail, microblog or other forms of media has also been forbidden.
Participants are also forbidden from applauding or other actions that could disturb the trial.
However, according to an interpretation 3 of the amended 4 Criminal Procedure Law, journalists who have permission from the courts are still allowed to report on trials.
