Liao lawyers to speak: Please top note Chongqing Gang rule of law phenomenon of regression

    According to the October 29, 2009 Tencent.com reports, Southern People Weekly internship reporter Chen Xiaojin an exclusive interview with the Chongqing lawyer, is also one of the defense attorneys Zhou Litai.

Zhou Litai: this case appeared in some situations: first, for the lawyers involved in the case, the defendant shall not be met. The defendant no matter what sin, no matter seriously to what extent, he has commissioned a lawyer's rights for a lawyer, he provided legal help right, a right, and in this case are not allowed to meet with. Second, in the trial stage, all lawyers not to look at the files. Third, all cases are fast prosecution, fast trial. Lawyers not to see the file, not to meet the defendant, how to play the right to defense?

If the reports are true, defense lawyers can not meet the defendant, not to see the file, is split wins lawyers to perform their duties and rights, or right to defense of the accused. Chongqing Department of political science and law behavior in the procedure illegal, resulting in substantial law. This is great, it is not a defendant Is it right? Suspected of gangdom crime problems, but the question whether to set up.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted and announced the "Universal Declaration of human rights", "International Covenant on Civil and political rights", "basic principles on the role of lawyers", and the criminal procedure law of China, all the defendant's right to counsel, a lawyer has the right to defend. Right to defense is to ensure the case of procedural justice, substantive justice to guarantee. If the report is true, Chongqing Department of political science and law practice, human barge took the defendant the right to defend, barge took lawyers to perform their duties rights, serious illegal. Chongqing is a municipality directly under the central government, how to attain the people's trust, to win the trust of the international community, how to talk about building an international metropolis, therefore, is not only my lawyer, expect many a person with breadth of vision are sceptical.

In modern society, I just heard that appeared in the democratic political crisis in a few countries, a military coup in the establishment of a military government, the military, civil and criminal cases military trial, just brutal to cancel the attorney, refused to lawyers, split wins lawyer's job right, split wins the defendant to defence right. In most countries, no matter what kind of political power, which at least can flaunt the advantages of democracy can't break the lawyer system of signs, of course, is not willing to. On the contrary, in order to show that they are a fully democratic countries under the rule of law, the lawyer system always try various devices to sign on the coated with a layer of gold powder. The practice of Chongqing, I do not know what the mind? The cultural revolution and the mentality is masked the mountain? Even a little political wisdom are not?

Exposed Chongqing campaign of rule by law in the backward phenomenon, should cause the political level of attention. For this kind of practice, should be clear instructions to correct, and should not be encouraged and default. This is about the future Chinese political democracy ecological stability.

Maintenance of the lawyers' rights, is one of the major responsibilities of the Department of justice and the all China Lawyers association. If the reports are true, two departments and the Chongqing Judicial Bureau, Chongqing Lawyer Association feel, what are the plans and measures? The lawyers are watching! This is more important than to receive part of the money to the lawyer!

Speaks of here, I remembered many years ago, I peer to say, simply to the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the National People's Congress, urged the abolition of the lawyer system. Many worry ah, no one for the bad guys say, no one and the people's democratic dictatorship. Peer said, none of the gallbladder. I said, you should have enough lawyers amount. Peer said, is not this quantity. I was dumbfounded.
