Witnesses take oath of honesty
( 2003-10-22 15:10) (China Daily)

Witnesses in a recent lawsuit took oaths of honesty before giving testimony in court for the first time in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, reports Huaxi Metropolis News.

"I take my oath before this court: I swear that I will faithfully uphold my duty to bear witness in this court, and I will tell the whole truth, concealing nothing. If I breach my words, I will accept the appropriate legal punishment and moral condemnation," Li vowed in court on Monday.

Li then signed her name and pressed her fingerprint to a piece of paper recording her oath after giving testimony.

Li told a reporter she respected the seriousness of the law and felt she had an obligation to tell the truth after taking the oath.
