A self-revolution in the political and legal system is officially launched
Clean up the black sheep and purify the political and legal team
A self-revolution of the political and legal teams with the blade inward was officially launched across the country.
On February 27, the National Political and Legal Team Education and Rectification and Deployment Conference was held in Beijing. According to the requirements of the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Carrying out the National Political and Legal Team Education and Rectification", the national political and legal team education and rectification were mobilized and deployed.
More than a month ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that the political and legal system should be severely punished for corruption.
The hammer and police uniform represent the justice and dignity of the law.
In the political and legal system, why did individual law enforcers become lawbreakers?
How will the political and legal teams eliminate black sheep and rectify stubborn diseases?
1 Set up a "political and law police officer's reporting platform for violations of discipline and law" to investigate clues to political and law officers' violations of discipline and law
According to the arrangement of the national political and legal team education rectification and mobilization deployment meeting, the national political and legal team education and rectification will be carried out in two batches, which will be rolled out in the national political and legal system from the bottom to the top.
The first batch is the political and legal committees of the city and county party committees, political and law units, and provincial prisons and drug rehabilitation centers, which will be launched from the end of February to the end of June; the second batch is the Central Political and Law Commission, the Central Political and Law Commission, the Provincial Party Committee Political and Legal Committee, and the Provincial Political and Law Commission The unit will be launched from August to the end of October.
The link of investigation, correction and rectification is the central link in the education and rectification of the political and legal team.
The meeting called for the comprehensive use of self-inspection and self-correction, organization of investigation and punishment, special rectification and other means to promote investigation and rectification to achieve practical results.
According to the requirements of the meeting, the National Leading Group for the Education and Rectification of Political and Legal Teams will set up a “political and legal police officer’s reporting platform for violations of discipline and law”, and reporting platforms have also been set up in various places to investigate clues to political and legal police officers’ violations of discipline and law; clues to major, complex cases with greater social impact , To adopt cross-handling, remote jurisdiction, elevated jurisdiction and other methods to carry out investigations.
Before being fully rolled out, the Central Political and Legal Committee has carried out pilot work in 5 regions.
Courts, procuratorates, public security and judicial administrative agencies in Harbin and Hulan Districts in Heilongjiang Province, Xuzhou and Yunlong Districts in Jiangsu Province, Sanmenxia and Lingbao City in Henan Province, Yibin City and Gongxian County in Sichuan Province, and National Security in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province The agencies, Hulan Prison and Songbin Prison in Heilongjiang Province, undertook the pilot tasks. A total of 35 pilot units and 16,000 police officers participated.
The "six stubborn diseases" that it investigated and corrected include: violation of the "three regulations" to prevent interference in the judicial system; illegal business operations; illegal participation in equity lending; spouses, children and spouses engaged in business activities in violation of regulations; Temporary execution outside prison; if there is a case, no investigation, no investigation, and no investigation of guilt.
As of November 30, 2020, 2,247 people have been punished in the pilot areas, including 2 cadres at the department and bureau level and 227 at the division level; 448 cases have been filed for review; 39 people have been transferred to judicial organs.
2 Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a group of political and legal system violators and party members and cadres have been investigated and dealt with, and problems in some important positions and key links are prone to occur frequently.
With the deepening of the anti-corruption struggle, a group of party members and cadres who violated disciplines and laws in the political and legal system were investigated and dealt with.
In 2020, including Sun Lijun, Member of the Party Committee and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Public Security, Gong Daoan, Deputy Mayor of Shanghai and Director of the Public Security Bureau, Deng Huilin, Deputy Mayor of Chongqing City and Director of the Public Security Bureau, and Wang Like, Member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and other provincial ministries Many political and legal system leaders, including senior officials, tribesmen.
The reporter combed through the review and investigation information reported on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission and found that since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, as of March 1, at least 8 central management cadres and more than 150 department-level cadres have been investigated and dealt with in the political and legal system.
The political and legal institutions are of special nature, strong professionalism, relatively concentrated power, and greater discretion. Some leading cadres have alienated the investigative power, prosecutorial power, judicial power, and enforcement power that should be used to defend fairness and justice, and alienated them into seeking personal gain and trading favors. Corruption issues such as “encircling hunting” and willingness to be “encircled hunting”, abuse of power and seeking personal gain, and illegal handling of cases and transfer of benefits are shocking.
The case of Zhang Jiahui, the former vice-president of the Hainan Higher People's Court caused intense public concern.
The judgment of the first instance showed that after Zhang Jiahui illegally accepted the property of 37 people, he sought benefits for the trustee by greeting the relevant judge or personally expressing views in favor of the bribery party in the trial committee.
Among the 37 people who bribed Zhang Jiahui, 18 were lawyers, and the remaining 19 included business owners and leading cadres involved in the lawsuit.
Zhang Jiahui's way of intervening in the judicial system is also quite willful and rude. Some call the person in charge of the lower court to greet the relevant judge, and some personally express opinions in favor of the trustee in the adjudication committee.
Judging from the positions of the cadres under investigation, some important positions and key links are prone to problems—
In the court system, most cases of violations of discipline and law occur in important positions in the two links of enforcement and trial.
Its violations of discipline and law are mainly manifested in civil trial favoritism, using methods such as the speed of execution, the selection of evaluation units, and the level of evaluation prices to seek illegitimate benefits.
In the procuratorial system, criminal procuratorial lines accounted for a larger proportion of procuratorial personnel who violated disciplines and laws in business departments that have been filed for investigation.
Its violations of discipline and law are mainly manifested in the use of procuratorial power for profit in the case.
In the public security system, problems in the field of law enforcement and case handling are prone to frequent occurrences.
Their violations of discipline and law are mainly manifested in handling relationship cases, favor cases, and money cases, not establishing cases, not investigating them, investigating but not determined, abuse and arbitrary changes in criminal compulsory measures, and illegal seizure and disposal of property unrelated to the case. Help criminal suspects to evade punishment, etc.
In the judicial administration system, the prison management department is a prone unit for violations of discipline and law.
Its main manifestation is to provide convenience for criminals in terms of credit, commutation, parole, medical parole, etc., to obtain money and other benefits.
3 Unfair and uncorrupted law enforcement and justice have severely weakened the credibility of political and legal institutions and trampled on the bottom line of social fairness and justice
On January 29, Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court sentenced the defendant Guo Wensi to death for the crime of intentional injury, depriving him of political rights for life.
The case of Sui Jianjun and others regarding bribery, malpractice for personal gain, and the bribery case of Guo Wanpu related to the "Guo Wensi commutation case" were also sentenced on the same day.
Prior to this, Guo Wensi was sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime of intentional homicide, and was released after 9 commutations, and committed another homicide after six months of release.
An investigation by the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection found that many people in the Beijing prison system, procuratorate, and courts helped Guo Wensi to reduce his sentence in violation of regulations, and 9 party members and public officials were expelled from the party and from public office (retirement benefits).
From Guo Wensi’s 9 commutation and release of prison sentences, Sun Xiaoguo’s bizarre "resurrection" after being sentenced to death, to the 15 years of "paper sentence" in Batumenghe, Inner Mongolia, after intentional murder, a comprehensive overview of these typical cases, from filing to trial to The commutation of penalties involved serious public officials' favoritism in many aspects, and presented a chained corruption feature of "one investigation, one chain, one end, one nest".
After sorting out the facts of violating discipline and law by the sacked cadres, individual law-enforcers have become criminals, mainly including the following situations:
Some law enforcement cases are deeply connected with the transaction of power and money, the interaction of malfeasance and abuse of power and personal gain, handling relationship cases, favor cases, and money cases.
For example, Huang Dagong, a former deputy department-level cadre of the Lanzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau in Gansu Province, abused law enforcement powers, handled money cases, and issued certification materials for violations of regulations, "paving roads and building bridges" for the chief elements of the criminal syndicate.
Some joke about privileges, do not file a case, do not investigate the case, do not investigate the guilt, domineering style, and arbitrary law enforcement.
For example, Gu Feng, a former member of the Procuratorial Committee of the People’s Procuratorate of Hubei Province and a second-level senior prosecutor, was negligent in performing his duties, delayed handling the case, and worked for others in matters such as bail pending trial, termination of investigation and inquiry, and business undertaking; Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province The former squadron leader of the Qianzhai Squadron of the Shuocheng Traffic Police Brigade used the power of the traffic police to act on passers-by more than once during the law enforcement process, and was dismissed and transferred from his law enforcement post.
Some violate the "three regulations" to prevent interference in justice, accept requests, intervene or intervene in violation of the law, intervene in the handling of cases; act as judicial brokers, help others to meet with case handlers in private, inquire about the case, intervene in violation of regulations, and derive personal gain from it; accept favors Relationship interference affects, failure to perform or improper performance of duties.
For example, Liu Jusheng, former deputy secretary of the Party Committee and executive deputy director of the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau, Hubei Province, knew that others were suspected of committing crimes, but for personal gain, he used his power to illegally interfere with the handling of the case, resulting in others not being criminally prosecuted.
Some violated regulations and laws to apply for commutation, parole, temporary execution outside of prison, and even “service sentences on paper”.
In the Guo Wensi commutation case, Sui Jianjun, the party secretary and warden of Beijing Chaobai Prison at the time, accepted many bribes from Guo Wanpu’s father Guo Wanpu. Knowing that Guo Wensi did not meet the conditions for commutation, he presided over the warden’s office meeting 6 times and signed and approved the application. Commutation documents.
Corruption of political and legal cadres affects the fair enforcement and judgment of cases, and even causes unjust, false and wrong cases.
The Hainan Provincial Politics and Law Commission previously notified that Zhang Jiahui was asked by others to intercede and greet the case. In some cases, his corrupt behavior affected the results of the judgment.
At present, the Hainan Provincial Higher People's Court has initiated retrial and correction procedures for 5 cases in accordance with the law.
Political and legal agencies are the public tool of law enforcement and the weapon of justice, and they play an important role in maintaining social fairness and justice.
If the political and legal teams are unfair, incorrupt, and weak, and individual "black sheep" knows the law and violates the law, it will seriously weaken the credibility of the political and legal organs and seriously trample on the bottom line of social fairness and justice.
4 Resolutely rectify violations of discipline and law on the political and legal fronts, and strive to make the people feel fair and just in every judicial case
At the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that we must resolutely rectify violations of discipline and law on the political and legal fronts, and strive to make the people feel fair and just in every judicial case.
The Fifth Plenary Communiqué of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection requested that corruption and work style issues in law enforcement, justice and other fields should be continuously corrected.
The National Political and Legal Team Education Reorganization and Mobilization Conference proposed that efforts should be made to resolve cases where cases are not opened, not investigated, and not investigated, “movement-style” and “one size fits all” law enforcement, judicial personnel and lawyers improper contact and communication, violations of regulations and laws to handle commutation, parole, Temporary execution outside prison and other outstanding issues in law enforcement and justice.
Fair justice is the last line of defense to maintain social fairness and justice.
The party discipline and state law have always insisted on strict investigation and punishment of judicial injustice, including the execution of penalties for violations of regulations and laws.
At the level of criminal justice, the Criminal Law stipulates a series of crimes of dereliction of duty by judicial staff, including the crimes of “commutation of sentences for favoritism and malpractice, parole, and temporary execution outside prison”.
The Regulations on Party Disciplinary Punishments stipulate that Party members’ leading cadres violate relevant regulations to interfere and interfere in judicial activities, inquire about the case, greet, intercede with relevant localities or departments, or otherwise influence judicial activities. The highest penalty is expelled from the party.
The key to keeping justice free from interference from power, from money, favors, and relationships, is to rely on the system to provide strong guarantees.
The Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to "establish a record, notification and accountability system for leading cadres to intervene in judicial activities and intervene in the handling of specific cases."
In 2015, the State Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the People’s Republic of China, the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the “Three Ministries of the Two Highs and Three Ministries” respectively issued the “Regulations on the Records, Notification and Accountability of Leading Cadres’ Interference in Judicial Activities and Intervention in the Handling of Specific Cases.” "Provisions on Accountability" "Provisions on Further Regulating the Contact and Exchange Behaviors of Judicial Personnel with Clients, Lawyers, Specially Related Persons, and Intermediary Organizations."
The "Three Regulations" are a radical strategy to prevent "relationship cases, favor cases, and money cases" from the source, and must be refined in specific practical operations and resolutely implemented.
The Supreme People’s Procuratorate will organize a “screening” type of “reverse inspections” of prosecutors’ violations of discipline and law since 2018, severely investigate and deal with cases of prosecutors’ violations of the “Three Regulations” on the prevention of judicial intervention, and strive to resolve cases of untruthful reporting and non-compliance. Fill in timely, selective fill and other issues.
The relevant person in charge of the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Group of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Supreme People’s Court stated that the Supreme People’s Court will be promoted to carry out in-depth special rectification of the “three regulations”, carry out centralized reporting activities for the implementation of the “three regulations”, and respond to the “three regulations”. Since its implementation, it has intervened in the investigation of the situation of the case and the improper interactions between the police and the parties, lawyers, persons with special relationships, and intermediary organizations.
While strengthening it to make it afraid and impossible, it is also necessary to "effectively solve the problem of the roots of thought", that is, not wanting.
The national political and legal team education rectification and mobilization deployment meeting called for taking the opportunity to carry out party history learning and education to educate and guide the majority of political and legal officers to consolidate a loyal, pure and reliable ideological foundation, and deeply feel that the party discipline and regulations are not only a "tight spell", but also a "protective talisman."
5 Pay close attention to the problems of lax supervision, use of power for personal gain, bribery and other issues involved in the education and rectification of the political and legal team, and fulfill the supervision responsibilities based on functional responsibilities
The members of the National Leading Group for Education and Rectification of Political and Legal Teams were announced recently.
The members of the leading group include the main leaders of the political and legal system and the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Organization Department.
"Education and rectification of the national political and legal teams is an important decision and deployment made by the Party Central Committee. Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies must strengthen political supervision and promote the implementation of education rectification. In response to the lack of strict supervision, the use of power for personal gains, and bribery revealed in the rectification of the political and legal teams. With regard to bribery and other issues, discipline inspection and supervision agencies must punish law enforcement and judicial corruption based on their functions and responsibilities.” said Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of Peking University's Research Center for Clean Government Construction.
Su Deliang, head of the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, told reporters that the Supreme People’s Procuratorate’s party group will be urged to implement the main responsibility of governing the party and governing the party. Corruption issues, strengthen the control and supervision of the operation of procuratorial power, deepen the implementation of relevant regulations on preventing interference in the judicial system, effectively implement the supervision and management methods of confessing guilt and punishing leniency cases, and strictly educate, manage and supervise the national procuratorial team to ensure the correct exercise of procuratorial power in accordance with the law .
“In the education and rectification of the political and legal teams, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision must perform its supervisory responsibilities." The head of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Chenzhou City, Hunan Province said that it is necessary to broaden the source of clues about violations of discipline and law in the political and legal system, and reorganize the law-related complaint cases in recent years. In addition, it has established a notification mechanism with the Political and Legal Committee, the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the court to find clues about problems from the law enforcement supervision of the Political and Legal Committee, the legal supervision of the procuratorate, and the court's administrative litigation cases, and strictly investigate and punish the exposed violations of discipline and law by the political and legal officers; keep an eye on abuses Enforcement power, illegal intervention in economic disputes and other key departments, key links, and important posts that are prone to frequent occurrences, strengthen law enforcement and judicial control and supervision, supervise relevant departments to perform their duties and perform their duties; do a good job in investigating and handling the "second half of the article" of the case, and supervise the unit that committed the case Deepen both symptoms and root causes.
The national political and legal team education rectification mobilization deployment meeting requires that education rectification is an important measure to consolidate and deepen the achievements of the special struggle against criminals and evil, establish an organic connection mechanism with the special struggle against criminals and evil, and thoroughly investigate and grasp the violations of discipline and law by political and legal officers, and dig deeper. "Umbrella" clues involving gangs and evil.
"The'Umbrella' is the pusher hidden behind the evil forces, and the accomplices of the evil forces who sit in full force and regenerate after the eradication. In the special fight against evil and evil, the discipline inspection and supervision organs focused on the crime-related evil and corruption. And the'protective umbrella' is not only due to the positioning of responsibilities, but also to grasp the main aspects of the contradiction." Jinhua Municipal Committee of Zhejiang Province, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Director of the Supervisory Committee Shen Xiaohong said that he will push forward the eradication of crime and evil in order to build an umbrella. The actual effect of breaking the Internet has continuously enhanced the sense of happiness and security of the masses.
