Prosecutors eye scales of justice

BEIJING - Judicial organs across the country have improved self-supervision and tightened procedural examination to prevent wrongdoing and ensure justice, the country's top prosecutor and judge said on Friday.

Prosecutors in the country last year ended police detention of 525 suspects who were held longer than allowed, said Cao Jianming, chief of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

That signified a 56 percent year-on-year increase, Cao said while making a work report to about 3,000 deputies to the National People's Congress, the top legislature.
