Human+Rights+in+China

Human RIghts in China Human Rights* in China is a major issue. The Chinese government points out that there are problems in their current legal system such as: lack of laws, lack of process, and conflicts in the laws. China had promised everyone that after the Olympics, that all of their human rights issues would soon be solved. And yet 1 1/2 years later, their human rights issues hasn't improved. The Chinese government still maintains political control over China's legal system. This action often results to abusive judical regime. The judicial branch is controled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In the last 2 years, death penaltys have increased rapidly. Defendents are often put to death for non-violence crimes such as theft and forgery. In one day, 356 death sentences* were sentenced. On that same day, 62 executions took place. In the year of 1993, 2,564 people were sentenced to death.
