HONG KONG — China’s Cabinet released Monday what it called a human-rights action plan, a lengthy document promising to improve the protection of civil liberties, often neglected and sometimes systematically violated in China.
Under the two-year plan, China promised to protect the rights to a fair trial, to participate in government decisions and to learn about and question government policies. It calls for measures to discourage torture, such as requiring interrogation rooms to have designs that physically separate interrogators from the accused.
