People’s Court Held To Punish Corrupt Chinese Polliticians

Chinese officials check the name list of the attendees at a security check point of the Intermediate People’s Court in Chengdu, where Wang Lijun stands for his verdict trial in southwest China’s Sichuan province Monday, Sept. 24, 2012. The Chinese court sentenced the former police who exposed a murder by a Chinese politician’s wife to 15 years in prison Monday in a decision that sets the stage for China’s leadership to wrap up a seamy political scandal and move ahead with a generational handover of power.
