How to prosecute libel? Do I need a lawyer?

Legal subjectivity:

The so-called slander refers to the deliberate fabrication and dissemination of fictional facts, which is enough to degrade the personality and destroy the reputation of others. It should be noted that there are often fabricated facts in libel, in order to make people who don't know believe the content. Defamation is rarely carried out in front of the victims. Because slander is fabricated against a specific individual, it is a derogatory to his personality. In this case, only specific individuals often know whether the facts are fabricated or whether their rights have been violated. When he knows that his rights have been violated, he should use legal weapons to protect himself in time, which is why the crime of libel belongs to the crime of suing first and dealing with it later. Then, in the face of malicious slander from others, how should we sue? (1) Fix and collect existing evidence in time. For example, we should take screenshots of others' online slander in time, and notarize its contents through the notary office to prove that what happened is true; You can also go to the public security organ to report the case, keep the corresponding report records and fix the evidence. Of course, the safest way is to contact the relevant criminal lawyer immediately, and the lawyer will fix and collect the existing evidence for you; (2) In the case of existing factual evidence, register and file a case with the filing department of the relevant court, and file a criminal private prosecution. For those who don't know the relevant operation procedures, you can hire a professional criminal lawyer to do it for you. In the current legal practice, the success rate of criminal private prosecution is often not high. One of the main sticking points is that the evidence has not been effectively fixed and collected, or it does not meet the requirements. In this case, in the face of their own damaged rights and interests, they need to seek the help of professionals in time.

Legal objectivity:

Article 211 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that after examining a case of private prosecution, the people's court shall handle it according to the following circumstances: (1) A case with clear criminal facts and sufficient evidence shall be heard in court; (2) In a case of private prosecution lacking criminal evidence, if the private prosecutor cannot provide supplementary evidence, he shall persuade the private prosecutor to withdraw the private prosecution or make a ruling to dismiss it. If the private prosecutor refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being summoned twice according to law, or withdraws from court without the permission of the court, it shall be treated as withdrawal. In the course of court hearing, if the judges have doubts about the evidence and need to investigate and verify it, the provisions of Article 196 of this Law shall apply.
