BEIJING -- China's procuratorial organs have issued arrest warrants for a total of 54,200 people and prosecuted 67,600 over infringements upon minors' rights and interests since 2018.

The number was announced by Shi Weizhong, chief of the department for juvenile prosecution under the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP), at a press conference Monday on the protection of juveniles ahead of the International Children's Day.

The SPP has been pushing ahead a specialized mechanism where cases involving minors are handled by prosecutors who exclusively handle juvenile cases. Meanwhile, the SPP also published a series of typical cases such as child molestation and rape in a bid to standardize the handling of similar cases.

The country has tightened the management of sectors prone to crimes against minors. Procuratorates across the country have given 1,186 procuratorial suggestions on handling the violation of juvenile customer ban by internet cafes, entertainment venues, hotels and other businesses.
