世界反死刑聯盟(World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, WCADP)執委會(Steering Committee),來自法國、英國、義大利、美國、挪威、伊朗、剛果、摩洛哥、波多黎各、台灣等共計20餘個重要的非政府組織成員首次於亞洲召開執委會議。WCADP主席,同時也是國際人權聯盟(FIDH)副秘書長的Florence Bellivier女士於4月16日早上拜會馬英九總統時表示,這代表國際間非常重視亞洲,尤其是台灣的廢除死刑進展及人權狀況。
Taiwan’s execution of six people on Friday makes a mockery of the authorities’ stated commitment to abolish the death penalty, Amnesty International said.
Zeng Si-ru, Hung Ming-tsung, Huang Hsien –cheng, Chen Chin-huo, Kuang Te-chiang and Tai Te-ying were executed earlier today at different locations across Taiwan.
