1. Detention: Public security organs may criminally detain active criminals or major suspects. Detainees shall be interrogated within 24 hours of their detention.

2. Arrest: Where the public security organs deem it necessary to arrest a detained person, they shall, within three days of their detention, request the people's procuratorate to review and approve the case in which the public security organ's investigation has been concluded, and shall ensure that the facts of the crime are clear, the evidence is credible and sufficient, and write out an indictment opinion, and transfer it to the people's procuratorate at the same level for review and decision together with the case file materials and evidence.

1. From the date on which the case is transferred for review and prosecution, the criminal suspect has the right to retain a defender. Within three days of receiving case materials transferred for review for prosecution, the people's procuratorate shall inform the criminal suspect of the right to retain a defender.
2. Where the people's procuratorate finds that the facts of the criminal suspect's crime have been ascertained, the evidence is credible and sufficient, and criminal responsibility should be pursued in accordance with law, it shall make a decision to prosecute and initiate a public prosecution with the people's court in accordance with the provisions on trial jurisdiction.

In addition, except in cases involving state secrets or personal privacy, the people's courts' trial of first-instance cases shall be conducted in public.
