Handling of cases helps address suspects' rights

Procuratorate's action focused on loopholes in judicial system

Prosecuting authorities have sped up the handling of 1,845 cases involving suspects who have been criminally detained for a long time without having been convicted and sentenced, the Supreme People's Procuratorate said on Saturday.

In April 2013, the top prosecuting department launched a special action to address cases where suspects had been held in criminal detention for a long time without a court ruling being made.
