Complaint Letter and Complaints:
Request that the relevant authorities supervise in accordance with the law and require the Beihai Yinhai District People’s Court to immediately correct its delay in handling Wu Qiuyu’s application for release on bail pending trial. The procuratorate has already recommended a suspended sentence; continued detention is no longer necessary. The compulsory measures should be changed in accordance with the law to protect the lawful rights and interests of the defendant and her minor children.
Facts and Grounds:
In a case in which Wu Qiuyu is suspected of the crime of illegal business operations, the Beihai Yinhai District People’s Procuratorate brought a prosecution against her before the Beihai Yinhai District People’s Court.
After examination, the Yinhai District People’s Procuratorate had already lawfully submitted to the court a sentencing recommendation that Wu Qiuyu receive a suspended sentence. Under these circumstances, the court should have changed the compulsory measures in accordance with the law, but it has long failed to process her application for release on bail pending trial, resulting in Wu Qiuyu’s continued detention.
Wu Qiuyu herself believes that her conduct does not constitute a crime, but, considering that she has two young children who need care, and in order to return home as soon as possible to fulfill her responsibilities as their mother and guardian, she signed a statement of admission of guilt and acceptance of punishment on the basis of her trust in the judicial authorities. The two children are only 3 years and 10 months old and 2 years and 7 months old, respectively; their mother’s prolonged detention has caused actual difficulties with their care and guardianship.
At the same time, Wu Qiuyu has suffered from mental illness since 2018 and requires long-term medication. During her detention, due to mental stress and separation from her children, among other reasons, she developed insomnia and an aggravated condition. Her medication dosage has now increased, and continued detention may seriously affect her physical health.
The complainant believes:
1. The People’s Procuratorate has lawfully recommended a suspended sentence, and the defendant meets the requirements for changing the compulsory measures. The People’s Court has nevertheless long failed to process her application for release on bail pending trial, thereby undermining the fairness of judicial procedures.
2. Wu Qiuyu has a mental illness and is also responsible for the guardianship of two young children. Continued detention is inconsistent with the principles of judicial protection of human rights and giving priority to the best interests of minors.
3. Wu Qiuyu chose to admit guilt and accept punishment based on her trust in the judicial authorities. If the relevant leniency measures cannot be implemented, this will affect the seriousness and credibility of the system of admitting guilt and accepting punishment.
Requests in the Complaint:
1. Request that the relevant supervisory authorities in Beihai intervene in the investigation in accordance with the law, and urge the Yinhai District People’s Court to immediately review and lawfully process Wu Qiuyu’s application for release on bail pending trial.
2. Request that the Beihai Intermediate People’s Court lawfully supervise and correct the Yinhai District People’s Court’s delay in handling the change in compulsory measures.
3. Request that the procuratorial authorities perform their legal supervision duties in accordance with the law and issue corrective opinions regarding the unlawful delay.
4. Request that the relevant departments pay attention to the special circumstances of Wu Qiuyu’s two minor children and the ill defendant, and protect their lawful rights and interests in accordance with the law.
