The lawyer replied:
The current laws in our country do not provide for the right to silence. On the contrary, the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that criminal suspects should truthfully answer the investigators' questions.
However, we have the right to refuse to answer questions that are not relevant to this case. The same is true for administrative cases. According to the procedures for handling administrative cases by the public security organs, the interviewee must truthfully provide evidence and testimony, and has the right to refuse to answer questions unrelated to the case. Matching, for suspects who confess truthfully, "confession leniency" used to be a policy, but now the law has clear provisions. For example, the Criminal Law stipulates that although a criminal suspect does not have the prescribed circumstances to surrender, but he truthfully confesses his crime, he may be given a lighter punishment; because he truthfully confesses his crime and avoids particularly serious consequences, he may be given a lighter punishment.
In addition, the current law in our country does not clearly stipulate the right to the presence of a lawyer. It is inappropriate to say nothing before my lawyer arrives.
