国内英语新闻:Senior Chinese leader stresses just law enforcement

BEIJING, March 22 (Xinhua) -- Senior Chinese leader Zhou Yongkang has urged law enforcement departments at all levels to ensure their work practices are just and incorrupt to better solve social conflicts and uphold justice.

"Currently, our country is experiencing a period when social conflicts are prominent and more and more cases have emerged in the judicial field," Zhou told a plenary meeting for the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee of the CPC Central Committee here Monday.

"More people are expecting to protect their own rights through judicial channels and they also have a higher requirement for just law enforcement," said Zhou, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

"However, many people's ideas, abilities and working styles in the judiciary who enforced the law still left much to be desired," he said, adding that many proposals raised during the just-concluded annual parliamentary and political advisory sessions were about law enforcement.

Zhou urged related departments at all levels to "carefully" study these advices and proposals and investigate and correct mistakes.
