China News Service, Beijing, October 10 (Reporter Zhang Su) The reporter learned from the Supreme People's Procuratorate of China on the 10th that since the launch of the special public interest litigation supervision activity of "Long March to Benefit the Road, Continuous Protection", the procuratorial organs of 15 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) along the Long March have filed a total of 434 cases.
During this period, the procuratorate issued 326 procuratorial recommendations, filed 10 lawsuits, and urged the protection of 499 Long March cultural relics and 477 Long March revolutionary memorial facilities, achieving good results.
This year marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March. On the 10th, the Supreme People's Procuratorate released a typical case of procuratorial public interest litigation of "Long March to Benefit the Road, Continuous Protection". The protection objects cover revolutionary sites, battle sites, red slogans, and tombs of martyrs buried in bulk.
The person in charge of the Public Interest Litigation Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate said that the Long March cultural heritage has the characteristics of "multiple points and long lines". In response to protection problems such as cross-administrative divisions and dispersed heritage sites, the procuratorial organs have promoted centralized rectification of similar issues through consultations, procuratorial suggestions, etc.
Taking the "Administrative Public Interest Litigation Case of the People's Procuratorate of Guyuan City in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region to urge the protection of revolutionary cultural relics at the site of the Red Army's victory in the Long March" released this time as an example, the procuratorial organs solved the case-handling problems of insufficient historical materials and difficulty in determining the value of unclassified revolutionary sites. By listening to expert opinions, public hearings, and formulating and issuing procuratorial suggestions, they promoted the inclusion of relics along the Long March in the jurisdiction into the protection system, urged administrative agencies to make up for the shortcomings in management and protection, and realized the transformation from single-point protection to linear heritage full-area system governance.
At the same time, the procuratorial organs continue to follow up and supervise, and initiate public interest litigation in accordance with the law if rectification is still not in place after issuing procuratorial recommendations. For example, in the "Administrative Public Interest Litigation Case of Longyan City Procuratorate in Fujian Province Supervising the Protection of the Former Site of the 'Central Red Traffic Line'" released this time, after the administrative agency received the procuratorial suggestion, it neither responded nor made corrections. The procuratorial agency filed a lawsuit in accordance with the law and pushed the administrative agency to prepare a plan in a timely manner and complete the repair work.
The person in charge of the Public Interest Litigation Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate said that the procuratorial organs will further give full play to the functional value of procuratorial public interest litigation, dare to supervise and be good at supervision, and effectively transform the institutional advantages into actual governance effectiveness for cultural heritage protection.
