China's top legislature Friday heard a report on the draft law protecting the reputation and honor of heroes and martyrs.
Departments including public security, culture, press and cyberspace have a responsibility to protect the reputation and honor of heroes and martyrs in their supervision, according to the draft law.
It is a duty of Internet operators to handle in a timely manner online information that infringes on heroes and martyrs, the draft law reads.
The draft also features a public litigation system against cases of infringement.
The report was submitted for first review to the bi-monthly legislative session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, which opened Friday.
