Call for better detention centers to ensure justice

Advisers and legislators highlight problems that hamper lawyers during meetings with clients

Facilities in some detention centers need to be improved and suspects should be given better protection while in custody, according to political advisers and legislators attending the two sessions.

Last year, the country's leadership highlighted the importance of the rule of law, and this led to a greater focus on residents' property and personal rights and improvements to facilities in courts, said Shi Jie, an adviser from Sichuan province.
