Article 306 of the Criminal Law stipulates: "In criminal proceedings, defenders and agents ad litem who destroy or falsify evidence, help the parties to destroy or falsify evidence, threaten or induce witnesses to change their testimony of facts or commit perjury shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years. " ?
Article 306 of the Criminal Law has been criticized by all walks of life, and it is also an excellent sword for public security organs to hunt down lawyers at will. According to statistics, since 1996, more than 300 lawyers have been "brought to justice" by judicial organs for various reasons. The national criminal defense rate has gradually declined, and more than 70% of criminal cases concluded by national courts have no defenders.
