The Supreme People's Court issued a circular, requiring that law courts take severe and quick legal actions against criminal offenders. It went on to say that in the measurement of penalty, heavier sentences should be imposed on those who should be punished more severely within the range of punishments, and capital punishment must be resolutely imposed on those who should be sentenced to death. The document also stated that the cases related to the death sentence should be made irreversible cases with ironclad evidence, while the criminal offenders who have committed extremely serious crimes are sentenced to death as they deserve.
