China pledges to enhance procuratorial work with advanced technical means

BEIJING, May 12 (Xinhua) -- China has moved to improve its prosecution work through the application of advanced technical means, with its top procuratorate issuing a set of guidelines in this regard.

The guidelines, issued by the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP), highlight the importance of utilizing remote sensing technology, handwriting analysis and psychological testing, among other techniques, throughout the handling of cases.

The guidelines emphasize the crucial role of technical means in supervising the handling of significant and contentious cases and rectifying errors.

To ensure the effective deployment of prosecutorial techniques, the guidelines stress the need to staff procuratorates nationwide with personnel specialized in various technical means. These technical domains include forensic science, electronic data analysis, judicial accounting and remote sensing technology.

Additionally, the SPP will establish specialized laboratories equipped with professional instruments to support procuratorates across the country in handling complex cases, according to the document.
