2. Death row prisoners are deprived of their right to life by the court according to the law and the evidence of crimes committed by criminal suspects. However, it is only his right to life that has been sealed up, and he should also have other inviolable rights, such as the right to inviolable personal dignity (prisoners sentenced to death shall not be maltreated before execution), the right to complain and report meritorious service, the right to inherit and dispose of the estate, the right to meet relatives and friends, the right to dispose of corpses and organs, the right to guarantee life, and the right to execute humanely.
3. The significance of defending the condemned prisoners: besides protecting the right to life, it is more important to embody the justice of the law. Analyzing the causes of crime, crime is a social phenomenon. Generally speaking, the occurrence of crime is the result of the comprehensive action of personal, social and environmental factors. Emphasizing the rights of condemned prisoners reflects a social responsibility of crime. It also shows that society should bear certain obligations. Many criminal acts of death row inmates are the result of various objective social conditions besides their own reasons, such as imperfect system, economic poverty, unemployment, lack of education and so on. We can't blame all the criminal acts of the condemned man on the individual. From this perspective, treating death row prisoners humanely and protecting their due rights is also a reflection of society on its own shortcomings.
4. Prevention of unjust, false and misjudged cases: Defending death penalty suspects, ensuring the correctness of public prosecution and trial, and preventing unjust, false and misjudged cases, such as the Hugjiler pattern in Inner Mongolia 20 years ago and the unjust case in Nie Shubin, Hebei 2 1 year ago, are all unjust, false and misjudged cases that do not really protect the rights of criminal suspects. At that time, many cases were handled according to the principle of presumption of guilt (analogy between a legally prescribed crime and a legally prescribed punishment). With the progress of society and legal system, China's laws advocate the principle of "presumption of innocence" in the trial of criminal suspects, which can also be called innocent analogy (corresponding to guilty analogy). To put it simply, anyone should be considered innocent until he is convicted according to law. In addition to the above, the presumption of innocence also includes: the defendant has no obligation to prove his innocence, and the defendant's act of providing evidence that proves his own advantage is an act of exercising the right of defense, and the defendant cannot be found guilty because he has not or cannot prove his innocence. The principle of presumption of innocence is an important principle of criminal justice in modern countries ruled by law, a basic human right recognized and protected by international conventions, and one of the lowest standards formulated and implemented by the United Nations in the field of criminal justice. Presumption of innocence emphasizes that if there is no sufficient, conclusive and effective evidence to prove that the defendant is guilty, he should be presumed innocent.
5. The rights of criminal suspects: the theory of presumption of innocence: "Before the judge decides, a person cannot be called a criminal. As long as it cannot be concluded that he violated the contract that gave him public protection, society cannot cancel his public protection. " Therefore, entrusting a lawyer to defend a death penalty suspect is based on the basic rights given to the defendant by law, and it is also the obligation of entrusting a lawyer to the parties!
