A 67-year-old old man, a winner of the National Five-Year-Old Labor Medal, spent twelve and a half years in the mud in order to wait for a "innocence".

Twelve years of injustice: Labour model was blamed for twelve years, justice is indifferent

When the case was finally re-trialed, everyone thought that the dawn of justice was about to shake through the long night.But who could have imagined that a sentence of the prosecutor in a court meeting that determined the fate would be more intense than twelve years in prison.

Twelve years of injustice: Labour model was blamed for twelve years, justice is indifferent

In the face of the video footage of witnesses being interrogated overnight, collapsing and crying, and even the horrific picture of two pieces of flesh under the burden of resistance, the prosecutor attending the meeting throwed six words: "not attained extreme suffering."

This is not a court debate, it is a blatant violation of the bottom line of the law, a ruthless ridicule of humanity and common sense.

The Cost of Work, Twelve Years of Long Night

Zhao Yin, behind this name, has been a plethora of honors.

Twelve years of injustice: Labour model was blamed for twelve years, justice is indifferent

He is the descendant of the veterans of the anti-American aid dynasty, the model of labor in the province of Hebei, and the servant of the people of Zhejiang City who are satisfied.As the former Mayor Assistant, Party Secretary of the Treasury Bureau and General Manager of the City Investment Company, he should have lived in retirement.

But he does not.

In 2013, because of the refusal to cooperate with the secretary of the municipal committee at the time to sell state-owned assets, because of the refusal to replace people, and more because of the actual report of the former prosecutor's chief, the corruption of the law and the interference in the project, he encountered the catastrophe of extinction.

No clues, no preliminary checks, no interrogation notes, and even no synchronous video recordings.On March 26, 2014, Zhao Enming was directly caught.

The next day, the designated place of residence surveillance and case filing were completed on the same day. First, the person was arrested and then the case was filed without the approval of the two-level Attorney General.

The first trial delayed three years and one month, six trials, and six additional investigations.The second trial lasted two years.Until September 2022, the People's Procuratorate of the City of Huangxi itself checked and found that the case was wrong, the procedure was illegal, and the evidence was illegal.

Seven of the perpetrators were arrested or dismissed.

In December 2025, the Chinese court decided to revoke the judgment of the first and second instances and reinstate the trial.

For twelve and a half years, a labor model and so on was not an apology, but the judicial indifference of the Yellowstone Prosecutor’s Office.

* Nine tricks, the words are short*

In September 2026, at a court session in which illegal evidence was excluded by the People's Organization of Yunnan City, the lawyer submitted 20 categories of 200 applications for excluding illegal evidence.

In the face of such evidence, the public prosecutor Guo勇志's response highlighted tricks and indifference.

Witnesses were stabbed in the neck, threatened “do not say, lock your dad,” and said “do not belong to the threat”;

The law explicitly stipulates that the interrogation must be carried out by two legal prosecutors, and he said that "one questioning person plus one recording person" is legal; the police pretend that prosecutors make the signature of the note, and he said that "flawed evidence is available after understanding";

The first-trial record has not been signed, and the second-trial record has only been subsequently signed, and the act of tampering is said to be "defective correction";

The recording showed the witness testimony was the officer holding someone else's notes to let him read, he replied "not a question, evidence is legal";

To the "three no cases", the direct arrest of people without investigation, and the violation of designated surveillance of residence, he answered "the procedure is legal".

Nine articles responded that no prosecutor's office positively assumes the proof responsibility for the legality of evidence. Articles are all looking for the resurrection of illegal evidence, and sentences are washed off for the illegal prosecutors who have already fallen.

More outrageously, he openly stated that he “continued to prosecute according to the original content of the first-instance indictment.”

Repeating the charges of abuse of public funds, which had already been revoked in the second instance, openly clashes with the principle of "no re-trial and no penalty", leaving a 67-year-old guilty 12-year-old at risk of accusation.

The defendant is not the law, but the court prosecutor who dares to say "not suffering enough" in the short video of the recording video, violating not only the legal provisions.

He violates the whole meaning of the existence of the “procurator” profession.

Return to trial, was the opportunity of the law to the prosecutor's self-correction, is the redemption mechanism of the rule of law society for the wrong case. but in this case, the trial has evolved into a "insisting on the wrong" drama.

When the public prosecutor interpreted the People's Procuratorate's Rules of Criminal Procedure as "applicable only to one chapter, the other chapters do not apply", the dignity of the law has been stumbled down.

This is not a matter of business capabilities, it is a matter of position, it is a matter of human nature.

He defended not the law, but the shortness of those who had fallen off; he opposed not the advocates, but the procedural justice itself.

Concern about a case is concern about the bottom line of the rule of law

Zhao’s death was not just a tragedy.

Today, a labor model that is reluctant to join the flow, because of the refusal to sell state-owned assets, because of the real name reporting corruption, can be indicated by the "three no cases", can be designated by the illegal surveillance of residence, can be indicated by the witnesses who have taken evidence, can be publicly humiliated by the prosecutor at the court session.

Tomorrow, who can guarantee that the next one will not be every ordinary person who does not want to join the flow?

The supervisory organs and higher-level prosecutors shall immediately investigate the conduct of judicial personnel performing their duties during the meeting before the court, and determine whether there is dismissal or abuse of their duties.

As a legal supervisory organ, the Yunnan City Prosecutor's Office shall strictly implement the rules for the exclusion of illegal evidence, assume the responsibility for proof in accordance with law, and abandon the shortage of mind.

The facts of the case are unclear, the evidence is insufficient, and the legal prosecution conditions are not met, and they shall be withdrawn according to law.

To effectively protect labor models and protect anti-corruption whistleblowers, this is not to punish a person, but to give credit to the four words "return to re-trial".

To focus on a case is to focus on procedural justice; to focus on a correction is to focus on the bottom line of the rule of law around everyone.

This time, let the evidence speak, let the law go.

This time, let the evidence speak and let the law go.

The unbelievers will be held accountable.
