pursuant to law. Take the example of investigation into an injury case by Xinxiang Municipal Public Security Bureau of Henan Province on 17 December 1987. In order to extort a confession, six policemen, under the instruction of Wang Weiying, deputy brigade leader of criminal police, tortured a suspect, thus causing his death from heart failure. On 17 July 1988, the Intermediate People's Court of Xinxiang City sentenced Wang Weiying to life imprisonment on the charge of "offence of intentional injury" and his accomplices were sentenced to 15-year, 13-year, 7-year and P-year imprisonment respectively. 54. In addition to various legislative, judicial, and administrative measures banning torture, the State also brings into full play a supervisory role by the mass media, using newspapers, magazines, broadcasting television and other mass media to expose and lash out at ""lawful acts. The State propagates by facts the necessity and importance of the prevention of torture and other degrading treatment so as to educate the citizens in conscientious observance of law and in supervision of the work and other conduct of State functionaries to see if they are in compliance with laws and regulations. 55. The whole series of legislative, judicial and administrative measures adopted by the People's Republic of China for the implementation of the Convention are wholly in compliance with the relevant stipulations of the Convention and have yielded marked results. China will continue to work hard to fulfil earnestly its assumed obligation, formulate and strictly implement relevant laws and regulations, and adopt resolute measures to prevent and stamp out torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment so as to make due contribution to the total elimination of such phenomena and fulfilment of the purposes of the Convention. We will describe in detail our future work and progress in this respect in our next report.
