【禁聞】烏前總統遭全球通緝 引陸民類比

【新唐人2015年01月14日訊】國際刑警組織週一正式全球通緝烏克蘭前總統亞努科維奇。亞努科維奇被指控貪污價值數以百萬計美元的公款。他在去年被推翻總統職務下臺期間,就已經逃亡俄羅斯。一個貪腐的前政府首腦,鎮壓反對民眾,還涉嫌「叛國」,引發中國網民類比國內官員。

總部設在法國裡昂的「國際刑警組織」,在網站上針對烏克蘭前總統亞努科維奇發出「紅色通報」,指控他「挪用、貪污,或通過瀆職轉換財產」。同時被通緝的還有烏克蘭前總理阿扎羅夫、前財政部長科洛博夫,以及烏克蘭電信集團前董事長等3人。

「國際刑警組織」要犯通報分為7個分類。「紅色通報」表示需要逮捕和引渡,各國警方在接到通報後,可以立即對通報人員實施拘捕,並參照本國的相關法律進行國際引渡。目前亞努科維奇流亡的俄羅斯,也是「國際刑警組織」190個成員國之一,但還沒有確切消息,是否會對他實施拘捕和引渡。

亞努科維奇前年年底因為拒絕與歐盟簽署自由貿易協定,引發民間大規模反對示威浪潮,最終被推翻。烏克蘭國會去年2月表決決定將他革職,亞努科維奇輾轉逃亡俄羅斯。烏克蘭政府指控亞努科維奇及其同夥侵吞國家1000億美元,並指他下令鎮壓反對示威者,造成針對平民的大規模屠殺。

亞努科維奇被全球通緝的消息也在中國引發思考。

憲政學者陳永苗指出,和台灣前總統陳水扁被貪污指控一樣,有人認為是民主的弊端,但其實這是民主制度的標誌。

憲政學者陳永苗:「在東亞地區以及歐洲以外的地區,民主化的一個比較顯著的標誌,就是把國家領導人,或前國家領導人給抓起來。就是根本對一個政治權力的『去媚化』吧。因為東亞國家受專制的影響比較深,覺得國家領導人都比較『神聖』甚麼的。你貪污也抓不到。我覺得把他抓起來,才是民主化的一個顯著標誌。」

而烏克蘭前共產國家的背景,和亞努科維奇倒臺後曝光的,令人驚嘆的巨額貪腐,也引發中國網民的類比。

有網民說:「國際刑警組織指控亞努科維奇的那些事,中國不少當官的都有!」也有網民說:「這個罪名能成立的話,某組織豈不是早被連窩端了?」還有網民說:「歐(噢),獨裁者終有這一天,中國的獨裁者呢,日子還有多少?」

網友秀才江湖:「最該通緝的是我們大陸的這些貪官。」

上海市民談蘭英:「我們中國老百姓都大力支持,肯定對他們要採取措施的。中國貪官像周永康,幾千個億。好多呢,徐才厚、薄熙來都是的。」

除了貪腐,和大規模屠殺,亞努科維奇還引發關於「叛國」的批評。他在逃亡後,曾請求蒲亭出兵烏克蘭,最終導致了俄羅斯吞併克裡米亞地區。去年4月2號,亞努科維奇在接受美聯社採訪時,含淚承認自己「錯了,感情用事」。但一切為時已晚,無法再讓蒲亭歸還克裡米亞。

貪腐、鎮壓抗議民眾,和「叛國」等指控,也讓中國民眾聯想到中共前黨魁江澤民。

新疆網友張先生:「早好幾年前,他(江澤民)已經被好幾個國家下逮捕令,通知他到庭接受審判。所以他現在根本不敢出國,他只能躲在國內,然後拚命的『維穩』。」

同樣是前國家最高領導人的江澤民,已經在全球30多個國家和地區的法庭受到起訴。西班牙最高法院去年2月,針對江澤民等前中共領導人發出國際逮捕令,以配合調查關於從1980年到1990年期間,人權組織對中共當局向西藏實施種族滅絕的指控。

而早在2009年,阿根廷聯邦法院刑事及懲治庭第九法庭法官拉馬德裡德(Octavio Araoz de Lamadrid)就下令,在全球範圍內,逮捕江澤民和前政法委書記羅幹,押到法庭接受被控犯下「群體滅絕罪」和「酷刑罪」的審判。江澤民和羅幹一旦出國,就會被國際刑警隊抓捕。

What Does The Situation of The Former Ukraine Leader
Wanted by Interpol Tell The Chinese?

A Red Notice was issued by Interpol on Jan. 12 for former
Ukraine president Viktor Yanukovych.
Yanukovych was accused of embezzlement
and misappropriation.
Since being overthrown from his presidency last year,
he took exile in Moscow.
Formerly involved in suppression of protesters and suspected
of treason makes Chinese netizens compare him to the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) officials in China.

Interpol headquartered in Lyon, France, issued the Red Notices
on the website against Viktor Yanukovich.
Yanukovich is wanted for “misappropriation, embezzlement
or conversion of property by malversation”.
Red Notices were also issued for Prime Minister Mykola Azarov,
Minister of Finance Yuriy Kolobov and Chairman of the board
of the Ukrtelekom

There are 7 types of Interpol Notices on critical criminals.

In the case of Red Notices, the individuals concerned are
wanted by national jurisdictions.
Interpol’s role is to assist national police forces in identifying
or locating those individuals to arrest and extradite them.
Being one of the Interpol member countries, whether or not
Russia will arrest and extradite him is not clear.

Yanukovych rejected a pending EU association agreement
in late 2013, causing mass protest.
This finally overturned his presidency.

In Feb. 2014, the Ukrainian parliament voted to remove him
from his post and Yanukovych took exile in Russia.
Ukrainian authorities accused Yanukovych and his associates of
misappropriating $ 100 billion, and mass murdering protesters.

The arrest warrant on Yanukovych provoked reflection
by the Chinese citizens.

Constitutional scholar Chen Yongmiao indicates that, it is similar
to the situation when Taiwan's former president Chen Shui-bian
was accused of corruption; some people believe it was the
drawbacks of democracy, but in fact it is a sign of democracy.

Chen Yongmiao, "In East Asia and outside Europe, a significant
sign of democratization is arresting national or former leaders.
The authoritarian East Asian countries typically consider the
national leaders are ‘sacred.’ Their corruption is often neglected.
But I think the arrest is a significant sign of democratization."

The news of Yanukovych’s huge embezzlement in the former
communist regime also raised the analogy of Chinese netizens.

A netizen stated, "Many Communist officials are corrupted in
the same ways that Yanukovych is which Interpol posted about!"
Another netizen posted, "If these charges are accepted,
shouldn’t some ‘organization’ have been indicted long ago?"
A netizen also said, "Oh, a dictator is now at a dead-end. How
about the dictators in China? Are their days numbered?"

Netizen “Xioucai Jianhu, "The corrupt officials in China
should be the most wanted."

Shanghai resident Tan Lanying, "We strongly support
the measures against these corrupt officials.
There are hundreds of millions loke 'Zhou Yongkang'
in China today.
There are also many of 'Xu Caihou' and 'Bo Xilai'."

In addition to corruption, and mass killings, Yanukovych
was also criticized of "treason".
After his escape, he asked Putin to send troops to Ukraine,
ultimately leading to the annexation of the Crimea by Russia.
In an interview with AP on April 2, 2014, Yanukovych
admitted that he was wrong, and "acted on…emotions."
But, it was too late to have Putin return
the Crimea to the Ukraine.

The charges of embezzlement, suppression of protesters and
the treason remind the Chinese of former leader Jiang Zemin.

Xinjiang netizen Mr. Zhang, "Several years ago, he was wanted
by several countries and must appear in court for trial.
That’s why he would not dare to go abroad.

He can only hide in the mainland and
desperately 'maintain' stability."

Jiang Zemin, once the national leader, has been prosecuted
by courts in more than 30 countries and regions worldwide.
Spanish Supreme Court issued an international arrest warrant
against Jiang Zemin in February 2014, for an investigation
of allegations of genocide in Tibet between 1980 and 1990.

Back in 2009, Argentina federal court judge Octavio Araoz
de Lamadrid charged Jiang Zemin and his Police Chief
Luo Gan with crimes of ‘genocide, crimes against humanity,
torture and terrorism’.
They will be faced with international police arrest
once they are outside of China.
