China to investigate prison abuse

China has launched a three-month campaign to "eliminate unnatural deaths" of prison inmates.

China has decided to begin this campaign after the deaths of five prisoners within the last few months. This issue, brought about by the death of a 24 year old inmate, has become sensitive and has been widely reported. The campaign will look to improve officers’ respect, ethics and human rights.
