Illegally obtained evidence defined

China Daily  

The Supreme People's Court has announced a new regulation taking effect on the exclusion of illegally obtained evidence in criminal cases, banning confessions made under torture or duress. Compared with previous versions issued in 2010 and 2012, the new regulation specifies the standards of illegally obtained evidence and makes clear the procedures for excluding such evidence, and this is expected to ensure that the evidence is collected, examined and employed in accordance with laws, Dai said. Chen Ruihua, a law professor at Peking University, said, compared with previous versions, the regulation grants the prosecutors more power to exclude illegally obtained evidence. The regulation requires prosecuting departments to accept the application from defendants and their lawyers to exclude illegally obtained evidence and requires that prosecutors not use the evidence when they issue arrest warrants, Chen said.
