Abstract

During 1987, our [Anhui] provincial procuratorates dealt with a total of 1, 376 cases of violations of law and discipline; 403 cases were placed on file for further investigation; in 220 cases, involving 304 persons, it was decided to prosecute; and in 123 cases, involving 186 persons, it was decided to abstain from prosecuting. Looking at all cases of law and discipline violations taken on by the procuratorial organs, we have observed, first, that the most conspicuous cases were serious infringements of the citizens' democratic rights and human rights, such as illegal incarcerations by basic-level cadres, extorting confessions by torture, and illegal searches. … The main culprits in law and discipline violations were state personnel, sometimes even leading cadres. Investigation of these cases frequently met with interference and strong resistance and was therefore difficult to carry through. Procuratorial organs at all levels pressed on in the face of all difficulties, removed the interference and obstacles, and pursued these cases to the very end. Their efforts were particularly concentrated on the investigation and appropriate conclusion of many large and important cases.
