The Supreme Prosecutor: "He Xi Mu" can not be used to handle domestic violence crimes

　　China News Service, Beijing, May 7th (Reporter Zhang Su) Taking the opportunity of publishing typical cases of domestic violence crimes punished in accordance with the law, China's Supreme People's Procuratorate reiterated on the 7th that domestic violence is not a private matter in the family and "cannot be used to deal with the case."

　　The "People's Republic of China Anti-Domestic Violence Law" has been implemented for 5 years, but in China, domestic violence crimes occur from time to time.

　　Among the six cases released by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate this time, there were husbands who abused their wives for a long time, guardians continued to beat and corporal punishment of minors, and there were also defendants who had suffered domestic violence for a long time and deliberately killed the perpetrator in a state of anger and fear to get rid of domestic violence. .

The charges in the case involved abuse, intentional injury, and intentional homicide.

　　The head of the First Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate of China said in response to reporters that the release of these cases is not only to strengthen and guide the procuratorial organs to handle cases properly in accordance with the law, but also to carry out education warnings and publicity on the rule of law in typical cases.

　　The person in charge emphasized that the prosecution must be accurate in determining the facts in handling the case, adopting evidence, and applying the law. It is not possible to handle the case with "heavenly mud". It is necessary to find out the facts and clarify the cause.

At the same time, if the methods of domestic violence are cruel or have serious consequences, and the perpetrators committing domestic violence for a long time or repeatedly due to bad habits such as alcohol and gambling, and the perpetrators constitute a crime, they must be severely punished and punished in accordance with the law.

　　It should be pointed out that the Civil Code has strengthened the protection of citizens’ personal rights, and the Marriage and Family Chapter explicitly prohibits domestic violence, and prohibits abuse and abandonment among family members.

The Supreme People’s Procurator called on the anti-domestic violence work to be a social system project, and only the joint efforts of all parties can prevent and reduce the occurrence of domestic violence.
