What should I do if there is an obstacle to communication between ethnic minorities during the trial? On June 27, the criminal trial division of the Huangyuan County People's Court tried a case of dangerous driving, which is different from the past, this time the trial activities have an additional bilingual translator who is proficient in the whole process, providing full translation for the ethnic minority parties, and building a bridge of convenient communication between the parties and the judge.
During the trial of the case, it was discovered that the defendant Dan had difficulties in expressing and understanding Chinese, and in order to protect his litigation rights and interests and the smooth progress of the trial of the case, the court invited a bilingual interpreter for the defendant. At the scene of the trial, with the assistance of the translators, the court conscientiously verified the basic situation of the defendant, patiently informed him of his procedural rights, comprehensively and objectively reviewed the evidence in the case, fully listened to the opinions of the prosecution and defense, and the entire trial activities were standardized and orderly, fully protecting the procedural rights of the parties and ensuring the objectivity and fairness of the case.
