【新唐人2014年09月27日訊】中國維族學者伊力哈木,日前被中共當局以分裂國家罪,判處無期徒刑。隨後,中共黨媒發表庭審紀實,報導伊力哈木在烏魯木齊法院受審的情況。25號,伊力哈木的辯護律師指出,這份庭審紀實存在很多不實和隱瞞,而且,法院在伊力哈木上訴期間,允許媒體曝光案卷證據,這是嚴重違法。
《新華網》24號發表文章,題為《伊力哈木•土赫提分裂國家案庭審紀實》,列出了所謂伊力哈木的五大犯罪活動。
文章還說,公訴機關證明,烏魯木齊市司法機關對此案具有管轄權,偵查、起訴、審判活動合法,並當庭出示證人證詞、課堂講課視頻、電子證物勘驗報告,以及被告人供述等32組210多份證據。
25號,伊力哈木的辯護律師劉曉原在推特上表示,視頻竟然還把一些案卷證據材料,包括講課視頻給曝光了。為此,他致電烏魯木齊市中院刑一庭帕副庭長,並嚴肅指出,允許媒體曝光案卷證據屬於嚴重違法,因為判決沒有生效,伊力哈木已提起上訴。
廣東維權律師隋牧青:「它雖然是個官媒,其實它這種發佈並不合適,因為在這個庭審定罪還沒有(的情況下),它有為法庭這種判決背書的意味。一般來說,這在一個正常的法治國家是不允許的。」
劉曉原還在微博上指出,這個紀實是一個選擇性報導,側重公訴人指控伊力哈木的證據,沒有寫到審判員多次打斷被告人發言,沒有寫證人不出庭作證等等。他說:「在兩天的庭審中,有三架攝像機全程拍攝,能否請法院公開全部錄像呢?」
另一位辯護律師李方平,也在微信中指出,這個所謂紀實有多處竄改,尤其所謂鼓吹暴力那部分。
辯護律師李方平:「我覺得還是一面之詞,不能完整的真實反映紀實的全貌,我覺得,如果需要的話,可以公開嘛,文字、記錄,他們可以全文公開,這樣還能相對客觀一點。」
據了解,伊力哈木已簽署長達15頁的上訴狀,並委託李方平提出上訴。李方平還對外發表了伊力哈木在被判無期徒刑後的感言。伊力哈木說:「我是為我們的民族吶喊,更是為中國未來吶喊。看到判決書的內容,我反而認為自己應該肩負更大的責任。」
伊力哈木還透露,他一直擔心自己承受不了嚴酷的環境,擔心自己會出賣良心、事業、朋友和家人。但是,他挺過去了。
在感言中,他仍對未來表示樂觀,他說:「我依然期待陽光、期待未來。我堅信中國會更好、維吾爾人的憲法權利必將得到尊重。」
廣東維權律師隋牧青:「就我們所了解的伊力哈木,是新疆的人士當中非常溫和的,他並沒有主張分裂。據李方平律師講,評審當中,要求公訴人舉出,你說有鼓動分裂,煽動分裂等等,有沒有證據啊?這個公訴人說,他是表面上假裝不主張分裂,但實際上他是主張分裂。這個根本不是法律,法律是以行為來認定,現在你揣測人家,就給人家定罪,這個完全是慾加之罪。」
紐約大學法學院著名法學教授孔傑榮(Jerome Cohen) 24號表示,當他聽說,伊力哈木被中共當局以「分裂國家罪」判處無期徒刑時,他的反應是,當局這種做法「很不光彩,駭人聽聞!」
長期關注中國人權的美國民主黨參議員布朗,對《美國之音》表示,伊力哈木沒有煽動分裂,他是在推動人權。中共當局對伊力哈木的判決,不利於美中關係。
世界維吾爾大會主席熱比婭女士,25號接受《美國之音》專訪時指出,如果中共當局繼續折磨、濫殺維吾爾人,維吾爾人可能被迫以蘇格蘭方式,尋求民族自決。

Broadcast of Ilham Tohti Court Record Breaks Law
Chinese Uyghur scholar Ilham Tohti was sentenced by the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to life in prison for separatism.
Then, the CCP media published articles revealing
the so-called court record of Tohti’s trial in Urumqi.
On Sept. 25, Tohti’s lawyer announced that the “court record"
deviates from or hides the facts in many details.
Also, the court had seriously violated the law as it allowed media
to publicly report evidence when Tohti still intends to appeal.
The Xinhua News Agency published an article on Sept 24,
entitled “Court Record of Ilham Tohti’s Separatism Case".
The article lists “five major crimes" of Tohti.
It said, prosecution organs verify that Urumqi’s judiciary
has the authority in handling Tohti’s case,
and claimed that the investigation, prosecution and trial
had followed legal procedures.
According to Xinhua, 32 groups of over 210 pieces of evidence
were exhibited in the court trial,
including testimonies, video footage of Tohti’s class,
examination reports of electronic evidence
and statements of the accused.
On Sept. 25, Tohti’s lawyer Liu Xiaoyuan said on twitter that
Xinhua had even issued video footage of evidence from the trial,
including videotapes of Tohti’s class.
Liu said he had protested to the deputy chief judge
that Xinhua’s report had seriously violated law as the sentence
has yet to take effect and Tohti still intends to appeal.
Sui Muqing, Guangdong rights lawyer:
“Although Xinhua is the CCP’s official news agency,
it is still improper for it to report those details.
When a sentence has not taken effect,
doing that is equivalent to voicing support for the sentence.
Normally this is not allowed in a state ruled by the law."
On twitter, Liu Xiaoyuan also said Xinhua’s report is clearly selective,
as it focused on reporting evidence against Tohti,
but never mentioned how the judge interrupted Tohti’s statements
several times, or the fact that some witnesses did not appear in court.
Liu said, “Three cameras had recorded the whole process of the trial",
“Would the court please broadcast all videos to the public?"
Li Fangping, another of Tohti’s lawyers, also said in WeChat that
Xinhua’s so-called “court record" had manipulated many facts,
especially those about espousing violence.
Li Fangping:"I think the report is a one-sided story and
cannot comprehensively reflect the trial process.
If necessary, they can make all written or video records
open to the public.
At least this is better than what they did right now."
Sources said Tohti had entrusted Li Fangping to appeal with
a signed 15-page petition for documentation.
Li also revealed Tohti’s words after being sentenced to life in prison.
Tohti said “I am voicing for my ethnic group, and for China’s future.
I felt I should take more responsibility when I learned the sentence."
According to Tohti, he had worried that he might betray his conscience,
career, friends and family after being put into a severe environment,
but he had survived that.
Tohti still shows his optimism, saying
“I am still looking forward to sunshine and a bright future,
I believe that China will be better and Uygur rights will be respected."
Sui Fuqing:"To my knowledge, Tohti is very moderate
among Xinjiang people. He never stands for separatism.
Li Fangping said he had demanded evidence during the trial
showing Tohti had advocated separatism.
The prosecutor replied that Tohti pretended to oppose separatism
but he indeed supported it. This is not law.
Law judges human behavior according to their acts.
But this sentence is made simply based on conjectures.
They are purely making excuses just to convict Tohti."
Jerome Cohen, a famous professor of law at New York University,
commented on the issue on Sept. 24.
Cohen said, when he heard that Tohti was sentenced by the CCP
to life in prison on separatism charges,
what came to his mind was that the CCP had done something
“very disgraceful and horrifying".
US Senator Sherrod Brown has paid long-term attention
to the CCP’s human rights issues. Brown told VOA that
Tohti was not a separatist and what he did was to boost human rights.
The CCP’s sentence on Tohti has negative impacts on its relation with US.
Ms. Rebiya, President of the World Uyghur Congress,
was interviewed by VOA on Sept. 25.
Rebiya said, if the CCP continues its torture and killing
of innocent Uyghur people, they may be forced to seek autonomy
like what Scottish people had done.
