                                            佩罗西就陈克贵被判刑的声明

 

首都华盛顿 —— 民主党领袖南茜·佩罗西(Nancy Pelosi)发表下列声明,针对中国维权律师陈光诚的侄子陈克贵因自卫抵挡威胁自己家庭的持械入侵者却被判入狱39个月:

 

陈光诚的侄子陈克贵只是因为保卫自己和家庭,却被中国当局判决入狱,这是对法治和正常法律程序的侮辱。

陈克贵没有获得许可指定自己的律师,在审讯的过程中被禁止与家人接触,这明显违背了中国的法律。此外,中国政府还未履行对陈光诚的承诺,即对那些关押和虐待陈光诚家庭的地方官员进行全面的调查。

美国和国际社会必须继续发出清楚的讯息:公民面对合法权利遭到侵犯而寻求防护措施的能力,是公正而透明社会所必要的。陈克贵应当从监狱里获释,立即而无条件。

Pelosi Statement on the Sentencing of Chen Kegui in China

December 7, 2012

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement regarding the sentencing of Chen Kegui, the nephew of Chinese legal activist Chen Guangcheng, to 39 months in prison for defending himself against armed intruders who had harassed his family:
 
“The decision by Chinese authorities to sentence Chen Guangcheng’s nephew, Chen Kegui, to prison for simply defending himself and his family is an affront to the rule of law and due process.
 
“Chen Kegui was not allowed access to his own legal representation and he was prohibited from contact with his family during the trial, in clear violation on Chinese law.  It is deeply disappointing that the Chinese government has not yet fulfilled its promise to Chen Guangcheng to conduct a full investigation into the illegal activities of local officials in the detention and harassment of the Chen family.
 
“The United States and international community must continue to send a clear message that the ability of citizens to seek redress against actions that have violated their legal rights is essential for an accountable and transparent society.  Chen Kegui should be released from prison, immediately and unconditionally.
