CPL Revision, Women Prisoners Featured in New Issue of Dialogue

In the fall issue of Dialogue, Dui Hua looks at China’s draft amended Criminal Procedure Law and finds evidence of a dual-track justice system that singles out political prisoners for separate and unequal treatment. Also discussed are the links between the Bangkok Rules and Chinese regulations addressing the role of domestic violence in crimes committed by women, confession as an obstacle to parole in the US and China, and a look back at counterrevolutionary cases.

Dui Hua News highlights our expanded mission to meet the needs of more at-risk detainees. It also summarizes Executive Director John Kamm's earlier trip to China and previews his upcoming trip to the East Coast and Europe.
