combat grave crimes: procurator-general (03/11/2003)
Chinese procuratorial organs fought sternly against grave crimes
that disrupted social order and undermine the market economic order
over the past five years, said Procurator-General Han Zhubin of
the Supreme People's Procuratorate Tuesday.
Han told the on-going annual session of the 10th National People's
Congress that public prosecutors participated actively in concentrated
or special campaigns to crack down on criminal rings, gun- and explosive-related
crimes, drug-related crimes, and women- and child-trafficking.
In the last five years, procuratorial organs cross China approved
the arrest of 411,397 criminal suspects involved in organized crimes
of underworld in nature and other crimes like explosion, murder,
rape, kidnapping and robbery, and prosecuted 410,511, Han said in
his report on the work of the Supreme People' s Procuratorate.
The procuratorial organs also played a role in rectifying and regularizing
the market economic order, by punishing smuggling, financial frauds,
tax evasion, dodge of foreign exchange control and infringement
of intellectual property rights, Han said. In the past five years,
they approved the arrest of 116,932 suspects implicated in these
kinds of crimes and prosecuted 106,910.
