初中生杀害同学埋尸案、余华英案、李铁案……被最高法点名！

The judicial crackdown on corruption continues – Chinese courts last year concluded about 30,000 duty-related criminal cases, according to an annual work report.

The report of the Supreme People's Court was submitted to the ongoing third session of the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, on Saturday for review.

In soccer sector, the courts convicted and sentenced several former officials, including Du Zhaocai, Chen Xuyuan and Li Tie, according to the report.

Chinese courts have adopted a "zero-tolerance" policy towards severe offenses against children, with 40,000 cases involving 41,000 individuals adjudicated in the past year. Notably, Yu Huaying, a serial child trafficker who abducted and sold 17 children over an extended period, was sentenced to death.

Supreme People's Court emphasized the severity of the punishment should be commensurate with the nature of the criminal act and its harmful consequences. 

A notable example cited was the case of a middle school student under the age of 14 who murdered a classmate and concealed the body. The principal offender received the maximum penalty of life imprisonment. Meanwhile, other defendants in the case, who were not involved in planning or carrying out the crime, were exempted from criminal punishment in accordance with the law. Instead, they were placed under specialized correctional education programs.
