中共中央和國務院30日公布了一系列措施,將對所有干預司法案件的官員記錄在案,公布其姓名并追究責任,這是中央為了確保司法獨立和透明出臺的最新政策。
“干預司法”可以用meddle/interfere in judicial activities表示,這兩個詞在這里均指“干預、插手”,不過,當interfere與with連用時,多表示“妨礙、沖突”,比如,Drug problems frequently interfered with his work.(吸毒問題頻繁干擾到他的工作。)
規(guī)定指出,官員干預司法的行為包括:為案件當事人說情(interceding for litigants)、要求辦案人員或辦案單位負責人私下會見案件當事人或其辯護人(asking personnel handling cases to meet with litigants or their defenders privately)、以聽取匯報、開協(xié)調(diào)會、發(fā)文件等形式,超越職權對案件處理提出傾向性意見或者具體要求的(overstepping their authority to make suggestions or directions on handling cases by means of hearing reports, holding coordination meetings or issuing circulars)等。
領導干部打擊報復司法人員(retaliate against judicial personnel),或干預司法造成嚴重后果的,依照有關規(guī)定給予紀律處分(disciplinary penalties),構成犯罪的,依法追究刑事責任。
