Former judge of the Supreme Court: Those who were punished for spreading Omicron should be corrected by the judiciary

Huang Yingsheng, former deputy director of the Criminal Division of the Research Office of the Supreme People’s Court and a criminal judge of the Supreme People’s Court, wrote an article calling for, “Now that the epidemic prevention policy has been adjusted, the thinking of handling epidemic-related cases should also be adjusted accordingly. Some previous epidemic-related cases, such as Those who conceal their itinerary or go out without permission during the control period but did not cause the spread of the epidemic are not suitable for conviction and punishment now. For cases that have not taken effect, the trial, review or investigation should be terminated, and the case should be acquitted, not prosecuted or withdrawn. Some Judgments that have already taken effect, such as those who have been criminally or administratively punished for spreading the Omicron virus, should also be corrected.” | Related reading (Economic Observer)

three waves

In the past two weeks, each of us has experienced the unpredictability of policy changes. Two weeks ago, everyone was worried that they would be taken to the square cabin for isolation after being exposed to the sun, but if they accidentally passed it on to others, they would either be judged Detained for intentionally spreading, or the trajectory of his actions was posted online; two weeks later, the circle of friends was full of “Yangguo” who exposed the antigen with two stripes. The shift in policy means correcting deviations, so the judge suggested that the judiciary should correct the previous penalties for those who intentionally spread the epidemic. Many of them are forced to make a living, such as farmers who were sentenced to 10 months for going out to water the fields. The unfair treatment they received should be corrected.
