司法实践中仍旧在发生的刑讯逼供,促使我们反思《刑事诉讼法》在防范刑讯逼供制度上存在的漏洞,以《刑事诉讼法》第四次修改为契机,进一步建立健全刑讯逼供防范机制。在原则上应当在显著位置确立“不得强迫自证其罪”原则,同时废除“如实回答义务”的规定;严格限制从看守所外提人员条件;讯问原则上应在看守所进行;确立讯问时律师在场权;明确讯问地点不合法和依法应录音录像而未录音录像所获得的口供排除规则;对所有案件实行同步录音录像且与讯问笔录进行核对制度;将重大案件侦查终结前讯问合法性核查制度纳入《刑事诉讼法》中,同时将监察机关调查案件一并进行讯问合法性核查;改革一审庭审中对被告人的法庭调查程序;废除指定居所监视居住制度;将《监察法》有关刑事追诉内容纳入《刑事诉讼法》中。

The continued occurrence of torture to extract confessions in judicial practice has prompted us to reflect on the loopholes in the system for preventing torture in theCriminal Procedure Law, and to take the fourth revision of theCriminal Procedure Lawas an opportunity to further establish and improve the mechanism for preventing torture. The principle of “no compulsion to incriminate oneself” should be prominently established, while at the same time repealing the provision on the“duty to answer truthfully ”. The conditions for the lifting of persons from detention centers should be strictly limited.Interrogations should, in principle, be carried out in detention centers; and the right of lawyers to be present at the time of interrogation should be established. The rules for excluding confessions obtained from unlawful places of interrogation and those without legal audio-or video-recordings should be clarified. We should implement a system of simultaneous audio-and videorecording of all cases and checking it against the transcripts of interrogations. We should incorporate into theCriminal Procedure Lawa system for verifying the legality of interrogations in major cases prior to the completion of investigations, and at the same time, verify the legality of interrogations in cases investigated by supervisory authorities. We should reform the procedures for the investigation of defendants in courts of first instance. We should abolish the system of residential surveillance in designated places of residence. The content of theSupervision Lawon criminal recourse should be incorporated into theCriminal Procedure Law.
