People's
Procuratorates
The people??s procuratorates in China
are state organs for legal supervision. Their organization corresponds
to that of the people??s courts. The Procurator-General of the
Supreme People?s
Procuratorate is Han Zhubin.
The people??s procuratorates have the
right to exercise procuratorial authority. They exercise procuratorial
authority over cases seriously endangering state and public security,
and infringing upon citizens?? personal and democratic rights,
and other important criminal cases; examine the cases scheduled
for investigation by public security organs, and decide on whether
a suspect should be arrested or not, and whether a case should
be prosecuted or exempt from prosecution; institute and support
public prosecution in criminal cases; and oversee activities in
public security organs, people??s courts, prisons, lockups and
reform-through-labor institutions.
The people??s procuratorates,
as well as the people??s courts, exercise their own authority, independent
of interference by any administrative organ, social organization
or individual person. All citizens are equal regarding application
of the law.
