歐盟譴責中國處決沙伊克

歐盟譴責中國處決沙伊克
更新時間 2009年 12月 29日, 格林尼治標準時間18:35

繼英國之後，歐盟星期二（29日）也對中國處決沙伊克做出譴責。
有27個成員國的歐盟主席團表示，對中國不理會歐盟和英國提出赦免沙伊剋死刑的呼籲深表遺憾。
輪值主席國瑞典發表聲明說，「歐盟以最強烈言辭譴責（中國）處決沙伊克。」
人權組織國際特赦說，處決沙伊克「凸現了死刑，特別是在中國執行死刑的不公正和不人道。」
傳召大使
英國外交部周二（29日）就沙伊克被處決一事傳召中國駐英大使。
英國外交部要求中國駐英大使傅瑩對英國公民沙伊克因販毒被處決一事做出解釋。

據中國媒體報道，沙伊克是於周二上午在新疆烏魯木齊市被注射執行死刑的。
這已經是傅瑩在過去24小時裏第二次被傳召。
此前，英國首相布朗發表聲明，對中國處決沙伊克的做法作出「最強烈的譴責」。
他說，英國多次要求中國寬恕沙伊克，但中國都未滿足英國的要求。布朗對此表示「震驚和失望」。
沙伊克的家人說，他患有精神疾病。但中國司法機關說，英國方面拿不出任何證據。
中國大使館也否認沙伊克有任何精神疾病的醫療記錄，並說他的權利和利益受到尊重。

中國反駁
中國外交部發言人姜瑜周二表示，「中方對英方有關英國毒販在華被處死刑一事的無端指責表示強烈不滿和堅決反對，我們敦促英方尊重中國的司法主權，並立即糾正錯誤，避免對雙邊關係造成損害。」

早些時候，中國駐英國大使館發表了一份英文聲明，內容與中國外交部發言人的表態大體相同。
聲明還引述最近在中國國內做的一項網上民意調查稱，99%的被訪公眾支持法院做出的處決沙伊克的決定。
聲明還說，雖然中英兩國的司法結構不同，但這不應阻礙中英兩國在相互尊重的基礎上增進雙邊關係。

英譴責處決運毒漢 京斥說三道四
(明報)2009年12月30日 星期三 05:10

【明報專訊】兩年前被指運毒在中國烏魯木齊被捕的英國 人沙伊克，昨日上午在當地被以注射方式執行死刑。英國首相白高敦 對中國處決沙伊克的做法表達「最強烈的譴責」，並傳召中國駐英大使傅瑩抗議。歐盟 也抨擊中方做法。中國外交部則反駁英方的是無理指摘，又強調中國不容外國干預司法獨立。
倫敦 傳召中國大使抗議
沙伊克（Akmal Shaikh）在2007年9月自塔吉克入境烏魯木齊時，在機場被發現攜帶4公斤海洛英。按照中國法律規定，毒品量只要達到50克就可以判處死刑。沙伊克於昨晨10時半在烏魯木齊以注射方式被執行死刑。
這宗案因英國政府高調參與而成為外交焦點。英方一直稱中方在判刑時沒有考慮沙伊克的精神病狀况，過去半年曾就此與華交涉10次，首相白高敦（Gordon Brown）上周一（21日）更親自致函北京 求情，外交部前日（28日）晚臨時傳召中國駐英大使，但全都不得要領。中國最高人民法院解釋，根據中國的法律，申請對被告人進行精神病鑑定，必須提出說明被告人可能患有精神病的理由，但英方的證據不足以證明犯人有精神病或其家族成員曾患精神病。
家人悲痛 感謝支持者
對於沙伊克被處決，英國首相白高敦發表聲明，對處決給予「最強烈的措辭譴責」，又對中國拒絕特赦要求感到「震驚和失望」。沙伊克的家人在得知他的死訊後發表聲明表悲痛，並感謝致力營救沙伊克的人。
中國外交部發言人姜瑜表示，沙伊克判死是獨立刑事案件。她說：「毒品犯罪是世界上公認的嚴重罪行，對社會的危害及其嚴重，各國都依法嚴厲打擊。在整個案件審理過程中，沙伊克的訴訟權利和各種待遇都得到了應有的保障。」
外交部﹕已保障犯人權利
對於英國政府的批評，姜瑜表示，中國的司法獨立不容外來干預，任何人都無權對中國的司法主權「說三道四」，中方對英方無端的指摘「表示強烈不滿和堅決反對」，中方敦促英方「糾正錯誤，避免給雙邊關係造成損害」。她說，中方重視中英關係，希望英方能理性看待本案，不要令此事影響兩國關係。

憤怒在英國人於中國處決後
Anger After British Man Executed In China
5:11pm UK, Tuesday December 29, 2009
David Williams, Sky News Online
The family of the Briton executed in China for drug smuggling have spoken of their shock at his death as Beijing came under attack from the UK government.

Gordon Brown offered his condolences to the family of 53-year-old Akmal Shaikh after the Foreign Office confirmed his death by lethal injection, which is understood to have taken place at 2.30am GMT.
The Chinese ambassador has been summoned to the Foreign Office to explain the execution.
The father-of-three's hopes of a last-minute reprieve were doomed as China's supreme court approved his death sentence.
Mr Shaikh's family and supporters say he was seriously mentally ill and was duped into carrying the drugs unknowingly by a gang.
Campaigners said the courts in China failed to commission an assessment of his medical condition in spite of his obvious mental illness, believed to be bipolar disorder.
His cousins, brothers Soohail and Nasir Shaikh who visited him in the hours before his death, said in a statement they were "deeply saddened, stunned and disappointed".

Akmal Shaikh乃英國國民，他因為在中國藏有海洛英而面對死刑。

Akmal Shaikh, a former minicab firm boss from north London, is due to become the first European to be executed in China for 50 years, despite claims from his family that he is mentally ill.
Akmal Shaikh 乃來自倫敦北部的前出租車公司老闆，夠期成為在中國50年來第一個歐洲人被執行死刑，儘管他的家人聲稱他是精神病患者。
He is expected to receive the death penalty on Dec 29 after China's Supreme Court rejected calls for clemency by Prime Minister Gordon Brown and denied Mr Shaikh's final appeal against his conviction for drug smuggling.

The decision to uphold the death sentence has been greeted with dismay by his family, who say Mr Shaikh, from Kentish Town in north London, suffers from manic depression and has a long history of delusional behaviour......

China executes more people than any other country in the world, an estimated 1,700 people were killed last year according to Amnesty International. But very few foreigners receive death sentences, which are carried out by a single shot to the head or lethal injection.
