我国古代刑讯制度的演变及启示

Evolution and Revelation of Torture System in Ancient China

在我国古代及近代相当长的时期内,刑讯一直存在并为法律所认可,由此还形成了发达的刑讯制度。但随着社会的进步与科技的发展,尤其在建设社会主义法治国家的新时期,刑讯不仅丧失了其存在的历史基础,而且更被视为是对我国公民权利的严重侵犯和对司法公正的亵渎。因此,新修订的刑事法律法规明确禁止刑讯逼供,要求对犯罪嫌疑人的讯问必须严格依照法定程序进行。同时,国家还通过多种方式加强法律监督,防止冤假错案的发生,以维护司法机关的形象,推动社会主义法治政府建设。

In both ancient and modern China, the torture system has been recognized legal by the law for a long period of time. Then, it formed a well-developed legal system of torture. But, with the progress of the society and the development of science and technology, especially with the construction of a socialist country under the rule of law in the new period, the torture system is no long necessary to exist. Furthermore, it is a serious violation of civil rights and the judicial justice in our country. Therefore, the new revised criminal law expressly prohibited torture. It is aimed at the interrogation of criminal suspects, we will in accordance with legal procedures strictly. At the same time, we will take measures to strengthen legal supervision, in order to prevent the happening of the wrongs and safeguard the image of judicial organs, and promote the construction of the socialist rule of law government and maintain our country＇s long-term stability.
