Hebei forms team to probe wrong arrest

Man who made claims against official released after 'no criminal fact' found

Multiple authorities in Hebei province, including disciplinary, public security and judiciary, have set up a work group in Qianxi county to investigate the handling of a recent case, with a thorough review into evidence of wrongdoing reported by a local resident, Hebei Daily reported on Friday.

The case also received comments from Procurator-General of the Supreme People's Procuratorate Ying Yong on Thursday when he attended a seminar related to procuratorial work with a number of participants from various walks of life.

Ying underscored the significance of taking facts as the basis and the law as the criterion, noting prosecutors across the country must learn from the case in Hebei to prevent similar problems from happening again.
