Article 593 of the "People's Procuratorate Criminal Procedure Rules (Trial)" If the parties, their legal representatives, and close relatives believe that the legally effective criminal judgment or ruling of the People's Court is indeed erroneous, they shall report it to the People's Procuratorate. Complaints filed by the People's Procuratorate shall be handled in accordance with the law by the Criminal Complaint Procuratorial Department of the People's Procuratorate of the People's Court at the same level, which shall issue effective judgments and rulings. If the parties, their legal representatives, and close relatives directly appeal to the People's Procuratorate at the higher level, the People's Procuratorate at the higher level may transfer the case to the People's Procuratorate at the same level as the People's Court that made the effective judgment or ruling; if the case is major, difficult, or complex, the People's Procuratorate at the higher level may directly accept the case. . If the parties, their legal representatives, and close relatives are dissatisfied with the legally effective judgment or ruling of the People's Court and continue to appeal after the People's Procuratorate has reviewed and decided not to protest, the People's Procuratorate at the next higher level shall accept the appeal. Appeals against the final judgment or ruling of a death sentence that has not yet been executed by the people's court shall be accepted by the prosecutorial department of the prison.
