BEIJING: China is considering a law that would punish those who ?insult or slander heroes and martyrs?, according to a report Friday from the country´s top legislature.
The Standing Committee of the National People´s Congress (NPC) said on its website that it is examining a proposal on the ?Protection of Heroes and Martyrs Law? in order to ?promote the spirit of heroic martyrs and patriotism?.
Since President Xi Jinping took office in 2012, he has stressed a drive to infuse every aspect of Chinese education with ?patriotic spirit? in a campaign to strengthen the legitimacy of the ruling Communist Party.
The NPC approved legislation last month to punish anyone who disrespects the national anthem with up to three years in prison. Laws covering the use of the national flag and national emblem have been in place for years.
The new draft law makes entities such as public security bureaus and internet operators responsible for protecting the reputation and honour of heroes and martyrs, the official Xinhua state news agency reported.It stipulates they must handle information that may infringe on this duty in a timely matter, Xinhua said. The NPC discussed related legislation during its annual meeting this March, but the previous proposal focused on civil liability, whereas the latest draft mentions criminal consequences.
