China News Service, February 21st. Luo Qingdong, deputy director of the First Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, said on the 21st that deceased heroes and role models such as Academician Yuan Longping should be included in the protection of crimes against the honor and honor of heroes and martyrs.
On the 21st, the Supreme People's Procuratorate released the 34th batch of guiding cases and held a press conference on "Adhering to the People-Centered Strengthening of Criminal Protection of Personality Rights in the Internet Age".
At the press conference, a reporter asked questions. After Academician Yuan Longping passed away in May last year, some netizens insulted and slandered Academician Yuan Longping on the Internet. The public security and judicial organs dealt with the crime of infringing on the honor and honor of heroes and martyrs.
Academician Yuan Longping is not a "heroic martyr" as stipulated in the Law on the Protection of Heroes and Martyrs. Why should this crime be applied? What are the reasons for this?
Luo Qingdong said that there are indeed different views on the definition of "heroes and martyrs" in crimes against the honor and honor of heroes and martyrs.
In handling cases, it is necessary to basically correspond with the Civil Code, the Heroes and Martyrs Protection Law and other pre-laws, and at the same time, it must also be properly interpreted in accordance with the legislative intent of the Criminal Law Amendment (11).
He said that the "heroes and martyrs" in this crime refer to the heroes and martyrs who have sacrificed and died.
For those deceased heroic and exemplary figures whose deeds and spirits are generally recognized by the society although they are not martyrs, such as Academician Yuan Longping, because they have made great contributions and sacrifices for the country, the nation and the people, their reputations and honors carry the core of socialism. Values should be included in the protection of crimes against the honor and honor of heroes and martyrs, and should be protected as one in the criminal law like the honor and honor of heroes and martyrs.
