In today's podcast, a court in Inner Mongolia reopens a rape and murder case which ended 18 years ago amidcontinued outcry that the original verdict was unfair
在今天播報中，關于這起強奸殺人案在內蒙古法院重新開庭，這起案件在18年前已經宣判，然而最初的判罰引起了軒然大波。
The High Court in the northern region of Inner Mongolia said on November 20 that the 1996 case involving an ethnically Mongolian man named Qoysiletu, who was found guilty of the crimes, will be reexamined. Qoysiletu, then 18, was convicted on May 23, 1996, for raping and killing a woman at a textile plant in Hohhot. He insisted he was innocent, but was executed on June 10, 62 days after the murder. Nine years later, the capture of a serial rapist and murderer, Zhao Zhihong, led many to believe that the sentencing of Qoysiletu was unjust. Zhao confessed to a series of rapes and murders, including the 1996 one in Hohhot, putting Qoysiletu's case in the spotlight again. Although later official reviews concluded that Qoysiletu's conviction lacked evidence and was likely an injustice, the case was never formally retried. Police got a confession from Qoysiletu after 48 hours of interrogation, and that became the basis of his conviction. The reports said Qoysiletu, who worked a local cigarette factory, reported the case to police together with a colleague named Yan Feng. An investigator said Qoysiletu's case was not reopened sooner partly because of resistance from people involved in the initial investigation.
內蒙古高等法院在11月20日稱1996年的這起案件將要重新審理，當時判定呼格吉勒有罪。1996年5月23日，18歲的呼格吉勒因在呼和浩特的紡織廠中奸殺一名女性而執行了死刑。他堅持自己是無罪的，但是還是在案件發生的62天后，6月10日執行了死刑判決。9年之后，警方抓住了系列殺人，強奸犯趙志紅，人們一致認為對呼格吉勒是不公正的。趙坦白了一系列強奸和殺人案，包括1996年在呼和浩特的一起案件，這讓呼格吉勒案件重新回到了人們的視野之中。盡管之后官方稱呼格吉勒的罪行缺少證據，并很有可能是一次不公正的判罰，但是并沒有再一次進行審判。警方在抓獲呼格吉勒的48小時之內拿到了他犯罪的證據，這也是他被判有罪的基礎。報道稱呼格吉勒曾經在當地的煙草工廠工作，他與一名叫作巖峰的同事一起報了案。調查員稱當時這起案件沒有進行重新審理，部分原因是由于起初參與案件調查人員的抵制。
