Caijing Online, 2009-04-09

Based on new 2008 average wage figures released by the State Statistics Bureau, the Supreme People's Court increased state compensation standards for cases involving “violations of citizens' personal freedoms”due to the “illegal exercise of authority” by state organs or their employees. The daily compensation amount increased by 12.68RMB to 111.99RMB and the annual amount to 22,229RMB. Beijing University professor Jiang Mingan noted that the standards still fail to compensate victims for loss of income but instead only compensate for loss of freedom.
