Chinese Embassy response to legal enquiry on mental illness.

category international | crime and justice | news report author Friday January 01, 2010 09:50author by vinyl Report this post to the editors

China fails to follow their own laws?

Does China have legal provision for factoring in mental illness into judgements? Yes: it does.
Did China use it in the case of Akmal Shaikh? Who knows. This is the detail of as far as I got with it. The documents referenced can be found here:
