Top court stresses severe punishment for people who lure and harm children

Chinese courts are intensifying their crackdown on crimes against minors, underscoring a "zero-tolerance" stance with the recent execution of three child rapists, the Supreme People's Court announced.

The top court emphasized its unwavering determination to severely punish child sexual abuse, detailing the cases of the three men executed on Friday after their death sentences were approved.

One of them, identified only as Zhao, exploited his position as an instructor at an illegal education center between April 2018 and March 2019.
