このページは、中国が拘留された人権弁護士やジャーナリスト、活動家に対して、テレビで自白を放送することで社会的に恥をかかせる手法を用いていることを報告しています。最近、中国当局は人権弁護士に対する前例のない弾圧を開始し、国家の放送局CCTVが拘留された弁護士とその事務所の従業員の自白を放送しました。中国では、司法手続き前に警察が拘留された39日間、被疑者を強要して自白させることが可能です。弁護士団体の研究者は、このような自白放送は法の支配の基本的な原則に反しており、法治国家において行われるべき正当な裁判とは異なると指摘しています。

The state media swung into action, too. On Sunday morning (July 12), national broadcaster CCTV aired a 10-minute video showing the confessions of a recently detained lawyer and two employees at his firm, Beijing Fengrui. As with many such broadcasts in China, the TV confessions were aired before judicial proceedings. Any suspect in China can be detained by the police for nearly 40 days before a release or formal arrest—and during that time they can be coerced into a nationally broadcast confession. These confessions are at odds with the government’s announcement last year that it would emphasize the rule of law in its fourth plenum, legal experts say. “By broadcasting these so-called ‘confessions,’ state media and Chinese authorities are rejecting the basic norms of a rule-of-law system, including the presumption of innocence and due process rights,” said Frances Eve, a researcher at Chinese Human Rights Defenders, to Quartz. “Trial by state media is not the kind of trial held in a country ruled by law.” Labeled “criminal suspects” on the screen, the three described how they organized paid protests, hyped public sentiment, and disseminated online rumors to ...
