On the question of the review of the necessity of detention
Type of consultation: Criminal Enforcement Prosecution
Consultant: Wang Qingwei, Kaiyuan Railway Transport Procuratorate, Kunming Railway Transport Procuratorate, Kunming, Yunnan Province
Consultation content: During the review for prosecution, how should different lawyers of the same criminal suspect simultaneously submit a recommendation for release on guarantee pending further investigation and an application for review of the necessity of detention? Does it need to be reviewed by the enforcement department or by the prosecution department?
Answer expert Zhou Hui: Applying for review of the necessity of detention and applying for release on guarantee pending further investigation are the rights of criminal suspects, and the criminal enforcement procuratorial department decides whether to propose release or change compulsory measures to the public prosecution department after reviewing the necessity of detention, and whether to release or change compulsory measures is decided by the public prosecution department. The decision of a criminal suspect to apply to the public prosecution department for release on guarantee pending further investigation is to be made by the public prosecution department. There is no conflict between the two, and the criminal enforcement prosecution department and the public prosecution department each perform their duties in accordance with the provisions of the law.

Type of consultation: Prosecution and appeal prosecution
Consultant: Qinghai Shen Ying
Consultation content: After the institutional reform, will the prosecution department of complaint and appeal still undertake the business of criminal appeal cases?
Answer expert Wang Junyi: According to the 2019 Reply of the Tenth Department of the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Clarifying the Criminal Appeal Function of the Prosecution Department of Complaint and Appeal, after the institutional reform, the prosecution department of complaint and appeal shall be responsible for reviewing the criminal appeal cases accepted by the court in addition to accepting the accusations and appeals to the court and undertaking the state compensation cases and state judicial aid cases under the jurisdiction of the court.
