In today's podcast, a court declares a man named Qoysiletu wrongly convicted of the rape and murder of a woman in a public toilet in Hohhot nearly two decades after his execution.
在今天的播報中,法院認為呼格吉勒被錯誤地判定為殺人犯,指證他在呼和浩特的公共廁所中強奸和殺害一名女性,20年前,他因錯誤判罪而執行了死刑。
On December 15, the Inner Mongolia Higher People's Court reversed a ruling on charges of rape and murder for which a young man was sentenced to death 18 years ago.
12月15日,內蒙古人民法院對這起強奸殺人案做出了改判,18年前,這名年輕男子被判處了死刑。
Parents of Qoysiletu, who was executed in June 1996, were notified of the ruling which found him not guilty and Zhao Jianping, vice president of the Inner Mongolia Higher People's Court, extended an apology to the family over the egregious mistakes made by law enforcement leading to the young man's execution.Zhao also delivered 30,000 yuan in "condolence money" to the family on behalf of Hu Yifeng, president of the high court, and promised further compensation.Via their lawyer, relatives of Qoysiletu said that the family will continue to press for compensation from the government for the trauma they have endured over theyears.
1996年6月,呼格吉勒被判處了死刑,他的父母最終發現他是被冤枉的,內蒙古人民法院副院長趙建平就執法者所犯下的錯誤,以及對呼格吉勒的判處表示道歉。趙還代表院長胡毅峰向家屬轉交了3萬元慰問費,并保證了進一步的賠償。通過他們的律師,呼格吉勒的親戚稱家人將繼續向政府索要賠償,來彌補這些年所遭受的痛苦。
Qoysiletu, then 18, was convicted on May 23, 1996, for raping and killing a woman inside a toilet at a textile plant in Hohhot.
1996年5月23日,18歲的呼格吉勒因在呼和浩特紡織廠的衛生間中強奸及殺害一名女性而入獄。
According to court transcripts, police were able to extract a confession within 48 hours of interrogation,which became the basis of his conviction.Qoysiletu, known also as Hugjiltu, insisted he was innocent, but was executed on June 10, 62 days after the murder.
根據法院的描述,警方能夠在抓捕的48小時內讓罪犯進行坦白,這也是呼格吉勒被定罪的基礎。呼格吉勒一直稱自己是清白的,但是還是在殺人案發生的62天后,即7月10日執行了死刑。
The controversial sentencing was again brought under intense public scrutiny nine years later when police captured Zhao Zhihong, a serial rapist and murderer who confessed to several rapes and murders, including the 1996 toilet stall rape-murder in Hohhot.
9年之后,就在警方抓捕了趙志紅之后,這一備受關注的判決又一次回到了人們的視野當中,趙志紅是系列強奸和殺人的兇手,他稱自己實施過多起強奸和殺人,包括1996年在呼和浩特的公共廁所中所實施的強奸和殺人。
Qoysiletu's parents had petitioned to various authorities and media outlets over perceived injustice in his conviction to no avail until last year when Inner Mongolia's High Court completed a review of Qoysiletu's case and concluded it had been mishandled.
呼格吉勒的父母因為不公向各部門和媒體進行了請求,但是于事無補,直到去年,內蒙古法院對呼格吉勒再一次進行了核實,并證實了這一情況。
The case was later referred to Inner Mongolia's party committee and the Supreme People's Court in Beijing,which led to a decision late last month by the region's high court to reopen the case.
之后,這一案件轉送到了內蒙古黨委以及北京最高人民法院,上個月月末地區法院有了結論,稱將重新對此次案件進行審理。
