On September 16, 2025, the founding general meeting of the Communist Youth League branch and the Women's Federation of Yunnan Zhongji (Dali) Law Firm was held with great solemnity. This meeting marks an important step forward for the firm in strengthening Party building to lead Youth League development and in promoting the protection of women’s rights and interests.
Some time ago, a trial was held involving multiple defendants accused of organized crime and evil forces. One of the defendants was also charged with official misconduct. The defendant’s defense counsel argued that the defendant’s statements had been obtained through violent threats and thus requested that the court obtain the simultaneous audio-video recordings to exclude any illegally obtained evidence. Eventually, the court agreed and instructed the supervisory authority to provide the recordings. However, the court stipulated that only the judges and prosecutors could review these recordings—not the defense counsel. Naturally, the defense counsel strongly insisted on being allowed to view the recordings, even becoming quite confrontational at times. Yet the court remained firm in its refusal, citing it as judicial practice. In the end, the defense counsel never got to see the recordings. In fact, this incident highlights a fundamental issue: neither side could find any legal basis for whether the defense counsel should be permitted to review the simultaneous recordings. The defense counsel couldn’t point to any legal provision authorizing such access, while the court itself couldn’t produce any clear legal rationale for either permitting or denying the defense counsel’s request—leaving them with nothing but the claim that it was simply “judicial practice.”
