GENEVA: China told a United Nations' watchdog yesterday that it had "zero tolerance" for abuse in police stations, jails and on the streets.

Beijing delegation chief Li Baodong rejected as "groundless and untrue" accusations raised by some activist groups about reported "brutal physical and mental treatment of detainees".

On the second and final day of a review of China's record on the issue by the UN Committee Against Torture, Li said the country had introduced laws to ban and punish such practices.
