SPP mulls more protective measures for prosecutors

Xinhua, May 16, 2016 Adjust font size:

China may introduce more protective measures to ease prosecutors' professional worries, as their careers involve a lot of uncertainty, said the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) on Monday.

Procuratorial organs will perfect a mechanism to exempt prosecutors from responsibility if they legally carry out their duties, said the SPP in a statement after a conference.

The SPP said it will try to find better measures to help and compensate prosecutors if they are harmed because of their work. It will also help prosecutors clear their names if they are wrongly accused.

Previously, prosecutors were held collectively accountable for malpractice or other disputes, even when acting in accordance with the law.

The SPP added it will also reform the salary and promotion system for prosecutors. Endi
