The Supreme People's Procuratorate recently announced the revised "People's Procuratorate Criminal Procedure Rules (Trial)", which regulates prosecutorial work in the new Criminal Procedure Law. The concept, connotation and other legal provisions are accurately defined in accordance with the spirit of legislation. The People's Procuratorate's Criminal Procedure Rules (Trial) defines "extorting a confession by torture", which stipulates that "extorting a confession by torture" refers to the use of corporal punishment or the use of corporal punishment in disguise to commit a crime. According to the provisions of the new criminal procedure law, the details of the act of obtaining a confession from a criminal suspect by using torture or other illegal methods, as well as using violence or threats to obtain a confession.

Meetings with criminal suspects during the investigation period must be permitted by the People's Procuratorate. The investigation department of the People's Procuratorate shall put forward an opinion on whether to grant permission, report it to the chief prosecutor for a decision within three days, and reply to the defense lawyer. The regulations require that when the People's Procuratorate handles particularly serious bribery cases, it should notify the detention center, the public security agency of the place of residential surveillance and the defense lawyer after the circumstances that hinder the investigation have disappeared. The defense lawyer can meet with the criminal suspect without approval. For particularly serious bribery cases, the People's Procuratorate should allow defense lawyers to meet with criminal suspects before the investigation is concluded. The Supreme People's Procuratorate can interrogate defendants. The "People's Procuratorate's Criminal Procedure Rules (Trial)" further refines and clearly stipulates the Supreme People's Procuratorate's legal supervision of the Supreme People's Court's death penalty review activities in accordance with the law.
