英国作家被判藐视新加坡司法

新加坡( 法新社 ) ——新加坡高等法庭判处75岁的英国作家,亚伦·沙德瑞克,因在书中写道该城邦国家的绞刑,藐视法庭罪成立。

沙德瑞克,将在下周被判刑,因为藐视法庭可能面临监禁、罚款或两项兼施。

“这是关于一个在他说的许多事情中,他说新加坡的法官不公正的案子。。。 (和)法官受到政治和经济形势的影响并对弱者和穷人有偏见。”法官昆廷·罗说。

沙德瑞克的书《曾经快活的刽子手:新加坡司法也受审》包括对刽子手辛格的人物专访,辛格是新加坡樟宜监狱的前首席刽子手,根据作者说,从1959年到2006年退休,他处死了大约1000名男人和女人。

书中还有与人权活动家、律师以及受理死刑案件的前警务人员的访谈。

在判决被发出之后,“我想我已被给予一个公平的申诉机会,”沙德瑞克告诉媒体。

当被问及他是否打算上诉这个有罪的判决,沙德瑞克回答说他得和他的律师讨论此事。

沙德瑞克,工作在马来西亚,在七月到新加坡宣传此书时被捕。他已被保释释放,但护照被扣留。


 
British author guilty of insulting Singapore judiciary

SINGAPORE (AFP) – Singapore's Supreme Court found a 75-year-old British author, Alan Shadrake, guilty of insulting the judiciary in a book he wrote on the hanging of criminals in the city-state.

Shadrake, who will be sentenced next week, faces a possible jail term, a fine or both for contempt of court.

"This is a case about someone who says among other things the judges in Singapore are not impartial... (and are) influenced by political and economic situations and biased against the weak and the poor," Justice Quentin Loh said.

Shadrake's book "Once a Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock" contains a profile of Darshan Singh, the former chief executioner at Singapore's Changi Prison who, according to the author, executed around 1,000 men and women from 1959 until he retired in 2006.

It also features interviews with human rights activists, lawyers and former police officers on cases involving capital punishment.

"I think I've been given a fair hearing," Shadrake told the media after the verdict was issued.

When asked if he plans to appeal the guilty verdict, Shadrake replied he has to discuss the matter with his lawyer.

Shadrake, who is based in Malaysia, was arrested in Singapore when he travelled there to launch the book in July. He has been freed on bail but his passport has been seized.
