Group: China's opaque anti-graft probes rife with abuse

BEIJING (AP) — A new report from a human rights group says torture, solitary confinement and coerced confessions are rife in investigations of Chinese Communist Party officials detained on suspicion of corruption.

The report released Tuesday focuses on the widespread use of "shuanggui" — a system of detention and interrogation of party cadres at off-the-books sites outside of the criminal justice system.
