"I hope that the period could be reduced and judicial review by judges could be introduced in the early stages to ensure suspects are being brought to court 'as soon as possible', either to stand trial or be released," Wang Minyuan, a criminal procedure law professor with Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said.
Wang Zhaoguo, however, stressed that improvements being made should be "progressive" and the draft "should not go beyond China's reality or imitate Western judicial and litigation systems".
