5. In the stage of examination and prosecution, if the criminal suspect is detained for an extended period of time, the defense lawyer has the right to demand the release or change the compulsory measures according to law, and obtain bail pending trial. If a criminal suspect suffers personal injury or personal humiliation, the defense lawyer has the right to lodge a complaint on behalf of the criminal suspect.

6. If the people's procuratorate makes a decision not to prosecute and the person who is not prosecuted refuses to accept it, after the person who is not prosecuted receives the decision, the defense lawyer may lodge a complaint with the people's procuratorate on his behalf.

7. If the victim refuses to accept the decision made by the people's procuratorate not to prosecute, the attorney may appeal to the people's procuratorate at the next higher level within seven days after the victim receives the decision. After the complaint is rejected, you can bring a lawsuit to the people's court on your behalf, or you can bring a lawsuit directly to the people's court without appeal.
