The Supreme Court has appealed this after the social scandal caused by the beating a group of men gave to several girls in Tangshan last month.
China’s Supreme People’s Court, the country’s highest judicial body, has demanded tougher sentences against those convicted of violence against women, children and the elderly, in an appeal following the social scandal sparked by images of beatings by a group of the men beat several girls at a restaurant in Tangshan city last month.
“Such horrific crimes should be punished harshly,” court president Zhou Quiang said at a conference of magistrates this Sunday. “These types of attacks are among the most basic crimes that are considered not only by law, but also by morality, and they must be punished with the utmost severity,” he added.
So far, nine people have been arrested for the attack on Tangshan, in which two of the girls were seriously injured, in a crime contributing to last October, when the influential Tibetan Lhamo was murdered alive by her ex-husband. or the case of a mother of eight who was found chained in January in a stone hut in Jiangsu province.
Two weeks after the attack in Tangshan, China’s new Minister of Public Security, Wang Xiaohong, ordered that more police be deployed this summer to fight this type of crime.
In March, Zhou pledged to impose the death penalty for serious crimes involving “cruelty” treatment of women, children and the elderly, as a clear response to public anger over recently exposed cases of human trafficking.
The South China Morning Post recalls that the China Women’s Federation, a women’s rights organization closely linked to the government, has long been criticized for its inability to defend women’s rights in China, particularly after a 2021 investigation found that 30% of married women in the Asian giant had experienced domestic violence.
