China restricts use of death sentence
Quote: |
BEIJING � China's legislature on Tuesday barred all but the nation's highest court from approving death sentences, a move that state media called the country's biggest change to capital punishment in more than 20 years. |
A nice step atleast.

Hopefully they'll restrict their dirty little side-business to the rich selling organs harvested from executed prisoners as well...you know, the thousands of organs harvested where prison doctors continue to claim that "consent was given." |
