Remedies for Wrongful Convictions in China

Jiang N and Wang Y

China promptly responded by public inquiries into wrongful conviction cases to remedy injustice and by a series of legal reforms to implement policy recommendations for better preventing future miscarriages of justice. This paper will examine several high-profile wrongful convictions in order to explore the remedies for convicting the innocent. Apart from the implementation of reform proposals on the resumption of the power to review death sentences, the exclusion of illegally obtained evidence and the presentation of expert evidence, further reforms are needed to protect the due process rights of the accused from being violated.
