BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhua) -- A draft amendment1 to China's Criminal Procedure Law is ready for vote after minor2 revisions were made, deputies to the country's top legislature said on Saturday.
The draft was submitted Thursday to the ongoing3 5th session of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC) for third reading.
After two days of deliberation, deputies considered that the draft had incorporated suggestions from all sides and was "mature" enough for final vote, Hu Kangsheng, chairman of the NPC's Law Committee, said in his report to the second meeting of the session's presidium.
Eight minor revisions put forward in the third reading include allowing a suspect's guardians4 or close relatives to engage a lawyer for him or her as the suspect in custody5 may be inconvenient6 to do so, and closed-door trials can be granted in cases involving commercial secrets if litigants7 so request.
China's legislature has underlined the principle of "respecting and safeguarding human rights" by explicitly8 writing it into the draft amendment.
