【新唐人2013年08月13日訊】薄熙來案：海伍德母親打破沉默
中共前重慶市委書記薄熙來案開審前夕，被薄熙來妻子谷開來謀殺的英國商人尼爾•海伍德的母親打破沉寂，發表公開聲明，抱怨兒子在中國遇害後沒有得到應有賠償。
安妮•海伍德日前在《華爾街日報》刊登的聲明中說，為了不給中共當局帶來「不必要的難堪」，她一直謝絕就海伍德之死接受媒體採訪，甚至在了解了海伍德是遭謀殺，並在事後發生了「有系統的掩蓋真相」舉動之後，她也沒有做出公開表態。不過如今形勢迫使她不得不打破沉默。
安妮在聲明中表示，她就海伍德被害的賠償問題，一再謹慎同中共當局接觸，但一直沒有「實質或者實際」的結果。
她說，海伍德死後留下的兩個孩子已8歲和12歲，除要經受父親被害的可怕恐懼外，海伍德還是家中唯一收入來源，兩個孩子的未來也缺乏經濟保障。
她呼籲中共當局「展示決斷力和同情心，減少這一可怕罪行對其家庭所造成的影響」，幫助他們渡過這一難關。
目前，中共外交部還沒有對海伍德母親的聲明做出回應。
海伍德遺孀向谷開來尋求賠償
另外，據《路透社》報導，海伍德的中國籍遺孀王露露，也正在向殺害海伍德的兇手谷開來尋求賠償。
報導說，接近海伍德遺孀的消息人士表示，王露露一直在要求谷開來向她及兩個孩子就她的丈夫被殺提供賠償。據說王露露和兩個孩子目前仍住在北京。
英國駐京使館人員也對《路透社》表示，已經向中共當局轉達了王露露就索償事宜缺乏進展的關注。
《路透社》報導，海伍德家人希望得到的賠償約為八百一十七萬美元。
《臺商出逃》：親述遭坑殺經歷
儘管台灣和中國大陸已經簽署投資保障協議，但台灣商人投資大陸遭坑害、鎩羽而歸的事情，還是經常發生。最近，一本由投資大陸受害臺商編著的文集《臺商出逃》，在臺北出版。
據《自由亞洲電臺》報導，《臺商出逃》由「台灣投資中國受害者協會」理事長高為邦等臺商親自執筆撰寫，書中講述了十三位臺商投資中國大陸遭坑殺的慘痛故事。
據高為邦介紹，書中所談的都是這些臺商在大陸投資，遭到合夥人詐騙的經歷。他們的共同特點，都是先誤信了大陸合作方人士的承諾，等到資金、技術到位之後，遭到合作方以各種方法侵佔、併吞。
而更重要的是，這些受害臺商不管通過當地政府、臺辦或台灣海基會等機構，甚至走司法途徑，都沒有一個案子得到解決。
高為邦說，一般強盜搶了你的錢，一定會跑掉躲起來。但是在大陸，他們搶了你的工廠，還把你工廠的設備、原料、模具等，搬到他的工廠繼續生產。這樣的例子在世界上可能找不到第二個。

Bo Xilai Case: Heywood’s Mother Breaks Silence
Seeking Compensation
The trial of former Chongqing party secretary Bo Xilai
is expected soon.
The mother of British businessman, Neil Heywood murdered
in China by Bo’s wife Gu Kailai, broke her silence.
She issued a statement that after Heywood’s death,
there is no compensation from Chinese authorities.
In a statement to the Wall Street Journal, Ann Heywood said
she remained silent until now because she didn’t want to cause
“unnecessary embarrassment” to the Chinese authorities.
Even as it became apparent her son’s death was murder and
then the subject of a “systematic cover-up”.
However, circumstances now compel her to break her silence.
Regarding the compensation for Neil Heywood’s murder,
Ann Heywood stated that
“despite repeated discreet approaches to the Chinese authorities,
there has been no substantive or practical response.”
“My overriding concern has been for the security and
well-being of Neil’s two children.
Now aged just 8 and 12, they are particularly vulnerable
to the hurt and horror of their father’s murder, and
since Neil was the family’s sole breadwinner, to uncertainty and
insecurity, as there is no financial provision for their future.”
Ann Heywood urged Chinese authorities
to “show decisiveness and compassion,
to mitigate the consequences of a terrible crime and to enable
my family finally to achieve some kind of closure to our ongoing nightmare.”
So far, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs
hasn’t made any response.
Neil Heywood’s Chinese Widow Requests Compensation
From Gu Kailai
According to Reuters, Neil Heywood’s Chinese widow, Wang
Lulu requested compensation from his murderer Gu Kailai
The report cited a source close to Wang Lulu that
Lulu had been pushing for compensation for herself and the two children from Gu Kailai.
Lulu and the children are believed to be still
living in Beijing.
The British Embassy in Beijing said they had passed on the
family’s concerns with lack of progress over the compensation request to the Chinese regime.
The report said Heywood family seeks up to $8.2 million
compensation.
New Book: Taiwanese Businessmen Escape From China
Although China and Taiwan have signed
investment protection agreements,
Taiwan businessmen who invested in China are
often deceived and lose everything.
A book, “Taiwanese Businessmen Escape From China”,
written by a Taiwan businessman was published in Taipei.
Radio Free Asia reported that the book was written by
Gao Weibang, director of Taiwanese Victims of Investment in China Association.
In the book there are thirteen victims who described their
painful experiences of investment in Mainland China.
Gao said these Taiwan businessmen invested in
business in China, but were cheated by the partner.
The common mistakes are initially to believe partners’ promises.
Once the money and technology were in place,
the partners used all the means to take over everything.
These victims tried different channels to solve the problem.
They went to local authorities, Taiwan Affairs Office and
other offices, even prosecuted them, but never any results.
Gao said that generally, when a robber steals your money
he will certainly run away and hide.
However, in Mainland China, they grab your factory, moving
your equipment, materials and molds into their factory.
They continue production. Such case
can’t be found anywhere in the world.
