Law experts seek ways to protect suspects in detention

Supervision of detention centers should be tightened to protect suspects and uphold their human rights, according to a legal expert.

"An effective way to prevent suspects being tortured would be to strengthen supervision and make the detention system more transparent," said Chen Weidong, a law professor at Renmin University of China.

The need to protect suspects was discussed by a number of law professors who reviewed a revised draft of proposed legislation at a seminar organized by the China Law Society. They shared their opinions and made suggestions.
