 China is planning to introduce a new law banning police from using torture to extract confessions. The Xinhua newsagency reports the Law on Penalties for Offences against Public Order, effective from the beginning of March will also bar evidence obtained with threats, from being used to pursue prosecutions. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Security says the law stipulates evidence obtained by torture, threatening or cheating can not be used as the basis for penalties. State media have reported that police investigators last year found 12,000 cases of inappropriate handling of detainees despite regulations on detention and interrogation procedures.
