台灣:不公平審判導致即將執行死刑

個案編號:UA 260/11 聲援對象:台灣邱和順 聲援期間:即日起— 10月12日

台灣人邱和順正處於隨時被執行死刑的危機。1989年,在不公平的審判下,他被判處死刑。今年8月25日,檢察總長駁回邱和順的非常上訴申請。

1988年邱和順被羈押並因為兩件不相關的刑事案件受審:學童陸正綁架撕票案以及柯洪玉蘭命案。只有邱和順被判處死刑,其他十一名共同被告分被判處有期徒刑並服刑完畢,其中一名在上訴時死於監獄。

邱和順以及同案被告表示,他們在頭先的四個月內均被收押禁見,並被刑求自白犯罪。

1994年,經過官方調查之後,處理陸正綁架撕票案的兩名檢察官以及十名警察因以強暴脅迫方式取得自白而遭彈劾。2003年,警方承認隱匿另一消息,另一名死刑犯於執行槍決前自白坦承犯下陸正案。

邱和順被羈押23年期間,他的案子在高等法院以及最高法院來回十一次。

法院排除了經由刑求的自白證據,而另一名死刑犯坦承殺害陸正的自白卻未被進一步調查。

請立即以英文、中文或您自己的語言: ■ 呼籲台灣當局不要執行邱和順的死刑; ■ 呼籲台灣當局確保依據國際公平審判標準重新審理邱和順案; ■ 呼籲台灣當局依據《公民與政治權利國際公約》的施行程序,遭判處死刑之人應有尋求特赦或減刑的權利; ■ 呼籲台灣當局依據2007年12月18日聯合國大會第62/149號決議文,以及2008年、2010年的相關決議文,立即停止執行死刑,朝向廢除死刑的目標邁進。

請將您的聲援信在10月12日之前郵寄或傳真到:

補充資料:

目前台灣已有超過五十位的定讞死囚。死刑執行時,家屬不會被事先通知;只有在死刑執行後,家屬才會被告知到太平間為其被槍決的家屬收屍。

自從2000年以來,台灣政府即一再重申廢除死刑的目標。然而台灣政府自2005年執行四名死囚之後即暫停執行死刑的政策,在2010年的4月30日開始又重啟死刑執行。

今年稍早,又有王志煌、王國華、莊天祝、管鐘演、鐘德樹等五人在台灣遭到槍決。這五人分別是在1988年到2005年之間遭判死刑定讞。

台灣並未提供人民在遭判死刑的情形下,有請求赦免或減刑的救濟程序。然而這是一項由《公民與政治權利國際公約》所認可的權利,同時本公約也已由台灣批准與施行成為國內法。

不論犯罪的性質、加害者的人格特質,或者國家用來殺死囚犯的方式為何,國際特赦組織無例外地反對任何情況下的死刑。

UA: 260/11 Index: ASA 38/004/2011 Issue Date: 31 August 2011

UNFAIR TRIAL LEADS TO IMMINENT EXECUTION A Taiwanese man, Chiou Ho-shun, is in imminent danger of execution. He was sentenced to death in 1989 after an unfair trial. On 25 August, the Prosecutor General rejected a request to seek an extraordinary appeal for a retrial.

Chiou Ho-shun was detained in 1988 and tried in connection with two separate crimes: the kidnapping and killing of Lu Cheng and the murder of Ko Hung Yu-Lan. Only Chiou Hu-shun was sentenced to death; his 11 co-defendants were sentenced to prison terms, which they have all completed, apart from one who died in prison.

Chiou Ho-shun and his co-defendants say that they were held incommunicado for the first four months of their detention and they were tortured to make them confess. They later retracted their confessions.

In 1994, after an official investigation, two public prosecutors and 10 police officers handling the kidnapping and killing of Lu Cheng were convicted of extracting confessions through torture. Police admitted in 2003 that they had covered up the fact that another death row inmate had confessed, just before his execution, to the killing of Lu Cheng.

During the 23 years Chiou Ho-shun has been in custody, his case has bounced back and forth between the High Court and Supreme Court 11 times.

The courts have failed to exclude as evidence his confession, though it was extracted under torture; neither have they investigated the confession of the other death row inmate to the killing of Lu Cheng.

PLEASE WRITE IMMEDIATELY in English, Chinese or your own language: ■ Urging the authorities not to execute Chiou Ho-shun; ■ Urging them to guarantee that he will be retried in line with international standards for fair trial; ■ Urging them to implement a procedure, in accordance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, allowing people under sentence of death to seek pardon or commutation of sentence; ■ Calling on them to introduce an immediate moratorium on executions, with a view to abolishing the death penalty, as provided by UN General Assembly resolution 62/149, of 18 December 2007 and subsequent resolutions.

PLEASE SEND APPEALS BEFORE 12 OCTOBER 2011 TO:

Minister of Justice Tseng Yung-fu (曾勇夫) Ministry of Justice No. 130, Sec. 1, Chongqing S. Rd. Zhongzheng Dist. Taipei City 100, Taiwan Fax: +886-2-2331-9102 Email: tyftp@mail.moj.gov.tw

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION More than 50 people are on death row in Taiwan. Family members are not informed about scheduled executions in advance: they learn about them afterwards when they are invited to collect the bodies from the mortuary.

Since 2000, the government of Taiwan has repeatedly pledged to abolish the death penalty. However, on 30 April 2010 they resumed executions for the first time since 2005, executing four people.

Five men were executed by firing squad earlier this year. Wang Chih-huang, Wang Kuo-hua, Chuang Tien-chu, Guang Chung-yen and Chung Teh-shu had been sentenced to death separately for crimes committed between 1988 and 2005.

Those under sentence of death in Taiwan are given no way to seek pardon or commutation of the sentence – a right recognized by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Taiwan has committed to implement.

Amnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases without exception regardless of the nature of the crime, the characteristics of the offender, or the method used by the state to carry out the execution. 關於 國際特赦組織「緊急救援網絡(Urgent Action Network)」

還好不是要特赦賴俊傑。賴俊傑所害台灣人何止千百,至少數以萬計,多少人因賴俊傑而活受罪?甚至不曉得有多少人因賴俊傑而死!賴俊傑等人被如此判刑,即以賴俊傑等人的數顆人頭,保住了其他相關者的數百顆人頭!

支持有爭議的死刑案件應該要從寬認定,不能隨意就執刑

但是廢死團體不分對錯或是事實與否,一概反對死刑的作法是令人唾棄的

提倡廢死的後果造成只有犯罪者有人權,死者和家屬都活該

國際特赦組織算哪根蔥? 憑甚麼干預他國內政,又一個自以為老大心態的組織

本來廢除死刑就是考量到有冤獄會發生
樓上把台灣的司法環境想的太美好了
根本就不知道台灣的司法實務界根本就不會認真判
冤獄比你想像的要多太多
刑求筆錄還是可以當證據(根本沒有程序正義的概念,就算罪證確鑿,司法還是有可能不給他公平受審的機會)、非法羈押的情形很嚴重,無罪推定跟沒有一樣
真的比你想像的瞎很多
如果沒有考量到這些 看到新聞媒體或法院說誰誰誰犯下某某案 殺了多少人
都有可能兇手完全不是他
還以為他就是殺人魔 想千方百計置他於死地
如果你也知道 死刑應該從寬認定,那以台灣而言根本就沒有人可以被執行死刑
