The catastrophic pollution accident in Tuojiang, Sichuan caused a strong response. The local people hope to realize the right of civil compensation through judicial channels, which is a legal civil right endowed by national laws. Whether or not to fight this lawsuit, how to fight it and whether or not to win it are their own business. The people have the right to claim their rights through legal procedures, and a responsible government should fully protect this right of the people. As an administrative organ of the government, the Judicial Bureau of Yanjiang District of Ziyang used its authority to force local lawyers not to accept civil litigation requests, which is essentially a typical administrative resistance to the law.
In a society ruled by law, respecting, protecting and realizing civil rights has become one of the most basic values in national political and social life. In order to realize civil rights, people have established a civil rights protection mechanism consisting of a whole set of systems including the lawyer system. Ordinary citizens are always in a weak position before state power, and their legitimate rights and interests are easily violated by state power, not to mention the abuse of power by some administrative organs and their staff. This requires a social force independent of state power and relative person, which can provide legal services for citizens and legal persons and use law as a weapon to restrict illegal power.
