Changes to Criminal Procedure Law and other regulations

1. Torture or other illegal means of obtaining evidence are forbidden, and judicial bodies cannot force suspects to plead guilty.

2. Statements or confessions by suspects, defendants, victims or witnesses that have been obtained by torture, violence or other illegal methods should be ruled inadmissible as evidence in case hearings.

3. The time and place of interrogation are regulated by law. Police should send suspects to a detention house within 24 hours of arrest and interrogate them within 24 hours of initial detention. The time allocated by law for suspects to eat and rest during interrogations must be provided and protected.
