最高法:法院錯誤執行判決 公民可申請賠償

China's top legal authorities have for the first time clearly stipulated that victims of miscarriages of justice have the right to compensation for mental anguish.

中國最高司法機關首次明確規定，冤假錯案的受害人有權尋求精神賠償。

The Supreme People's Court (SPC) last Wednesday revealed a judicial explanation saying that compensation applications can be filed in non-criminal cases where people have been wrongfully subjected to law enforcement.

For mishandled cases which result in serious harm, the judiciary should apologize and pay compensation for mental suffering.

對於因處理不 當造成嚴重後果的案件，司法部門應當道歉並支付精神損害撫慰金。

Those who have had their assets illegally frozen or sold off by the court can also ask for compensation.
