Large Medium SmallBEIJING - The Chinese government will this year push the reform of its controversial re-education through labor system, according to a national political and legal work conference on Monday.
The system allows police to detain people for up to four years without an open trial, leading experts to argue that it contradicts high-level laws, including China's constitution.
No further information on the reform was available for now.
