Stop death penalty in Taiwan
Heidi Hautala, Chairwoman of European Parliament Subcommittee on Human Rights and Laima Andrikiene Vice-Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Human Rights have condemned the resumption of death penalty in Taiwan.
In our capacity as President and Vice President of the Subcommittee on Human Rights of the European Parliament (EP), we want to express our deep regret and shock at the fact that four persons sentenced to death for criminal charges - Chang Chun-Hong, Chang Wen-Wei, Hong Chen Yeow, and Ke Shi-Ming - were executed by the Taiwanese state authorities on April 30, 2010.
