Supervision of police increased

Prosecuting officials told to work more closely with law enforcement

Prosecuting authorities across the country will be required to send officers to stay at, or pay regular visits to, police stations to ensure justice by beefing up supervision over criminal investigations.

The move, issued in a circular by the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Wednesday, aims to better monitor public security departments to prevent police misconduct such as forcing confessions, according to the top procuratorate.
