Chinese lawmakers in Beijing for the top legislature's annual session have lashed out at the "Pengshui poem scandal" in Chongqing Municipality that led to the arrest of a civil servant because it made a mockery out of local officials last year.

It undermines justice and jeorpadizes the nation's move to build a harmonious society, they said.

"It's a crude infringement on the freedom of speech and degrades our move to build a harmonious society, governed by law," dean of Southwest University of Political Science and Law Chen Zhonglin said yesterday. Chen is in Beijing to attend the Fifth Session of the 10th National People's Congress (NPC), the national legislature, which starts today.
