Compensation to be fair for all

Although the compensation for victims of rights abuse by government bodies is being raised, the way it is arrived at still requires more thought, says an article in the Xi'an Evening Post. Following is an excerpt:

The Supreme People's Court recently said the compensation for victims of personal rights infringement by the government and judicial authorities will reach 111.99 yuan ($16.4) a day, 12.68 yuan more than that of last year. The revised compensation follows a release of the State Bureau of Statistics on April 9 that the average annual salary in the country was 29,229 yuan last year, or 111.99 yuan for every working day.

It is good news for those victims affected by personal rights infringement, but the calculation on the basis of the average daily salary of employees in China is still not reasonable enough.
