【新唐人2013年11月15日讯】中国广东一名中共官员在访澳期间，因涉嫌强奸一名女导游而被当地警方逮捕，尽管他的家属打算缴纳巨额保释金，争取将他保释回国，但遭到了澳洲警方拒绝。事件经媒体曝光后迅速引发议论，网友怒斥：中共官员丢脸丢到了国外。法律人士也指出，中共官员将一贯的丑行带到法制国家，没想到踢到了铁板。
据澳大利亚媒体《时代报》11月7号报导，一位名叫“Jingsong Song”的中共官员，在今年8月率团访问澳洲期间，因强奸一名为代表团导游的女大学生，而被捕，经治安法庭判定，他获准保释候审，但必须交出护照，禁止离开澳洲，并每天到警局报到。
有网友翻译这一消息并发到了大陆微博后，引发轩然大波，大量网友要求公开这名中共官员的身份，并谴责他“丢人丢到了国外”，大陆媒体也纷纷进行追踪。随后中共喉舌《新华网》报导，11月12号，经证实确认，这名官员是广东省城乡规划设计研究院副院长宋劲松，他也是广东省政协委员。
《时代报》报导说，宋劲松日前向墨尔本治安法庭提出申请，要求更改保释条件，希望获准返回中国。他承诺回国后，每天会向广州警方报到，每个月返回澳大利亚一次。而尽管宋劲松的妻子准备了50万澳元(约合人民币285万元)的保释金，他的两位朋友还额外提供了15万澳元(约合人民币85.6万元)的保证金，但墨尔本警方依然反对宋劲松的保释申请，认为中、澳之间没有签署引渡协议，一旦宋劲松回国后不再回到澳洲，中方将不会协助将他引渡到澳洲。
美国华府人权律师叶宁：“这个官员也算他自己不长眼睛，他如果在中共统治国土，可能这种事情做惯了，欺负下级、欺负贫民，那么他可能有很多豁免权，有很多免责权，可以逃避法律的追诉。他跑到了非常尊重人权，非常保护妇女权益的西方国家，来干同样的事情，他就会面对非常严厉的惩罚和非常严重的后果。”
有舆论质疑，宋劲松是今年8月在澳洲被捕的，澳洲媒体是11月才报导了他涉嫌强奸的消息，期间足足有三个月，为什么他所在的单位在这么长的时间里“不知情”、不处置、不通报呢？
面对质问，研究院回应，宋劲松是持“因私出国”护照，前往澳大利亚，行程不是由院方安排，院方也不清楚《新时代》中报导的“代表团”是什么意思，院方也是在看到外面报导后才发现的。
对此，网友反驳，即使宋劲松是院方所说的“因私出国”，那么长达3个月的时间，很明显超过国外逗留期限，主管部门竟然声称不知情，实在令人不可思议。
据了解，宋劲松在墨尔本被指控的罪名是“指奸”，按照澳大利亚法律规定，强奸（包括指奸）最高刑罚为终身监禁，但中国法律界人士认为，按照大陆刑法，这一行为不构成强奸罪，所涉罪名为“强制猥亵妇女罪”，只处以5年以下有期徒刑或拘役。所以如果宋劲松能被引渡回国，将有希望争取减轻处罚。
南京律师、东南大学法学院教授张赞宁：“像这种官员们、有钱有势的人，他们只要有钱通过关系，就可能判的很轻甚至不判，甚至威胁受害人，叫她们妥协，这种例子在中国还是挺多的，因为中国不是个法制国家。”
目前，民间舆论强烈要求中共当局不要将宋劲松引渡回国，交由澳洲来审判。并且要求当局对宋劲松是否动用公款赴澳、他滞留国外期间的领导职务、工资如何处理、一旦罪名成立，有什么惩罚措施、保释巨款哪里来﹖等问题作出答复。

Chinese Communist Party High-Level Official –
No Bail for Raping Tour Guide
A Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official from Guangdong
was arrested during his visit to Australia by local police for
raping a tour guide.
His family planed to pay the huge amount of bail and get him
returned to China but was refused by the Australia police.
The incident has caused lots of discussions.
Netizens criticized CCP officials of damaging their image
overseas.
Legal professionals point out that CCP officials are
punished for their crimes in a country ruled by law.
According to Australia’s The Age newspaper report on
November 7, Song Jingsong was arrested for raping a college
student who was a tour guide when he led the delegation
to visit Australia.
The court ruled he can be bailed but he must hand
in his passport.
He is forbidden to leave Australia and needs to report
to the police station every day.
Some netizens translated this news, posted to microblogs
in China where it caused a huge impact.
Many netizens asked to publish the identity of this official
and condemned him for damaging the country image overseas.
Chinese media also reported it.
Soon the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) mouthpiece
xinhuan.net reported on November 12.
They confirmed the identify of this man as Song Jinsong,
Deputy President of Guangdong Province City and Urban
Planning Design Institute (the Institute). He is also a member
of Guangdong Political Committee.
The Age Newspaper reported that Song Jinsong requested
the Melbourne Magistrates Court change the bail conditions,
hoping to return to China.
He promised after returning to China, he would report to
Guangzhou Police Station every day and return to Australia
once a month. Song Jinsong’s wife prepared 500,000
Australian dollars (about 2.85 million yuan) bail.
His two friends also provided additional 150,000
Australian dollars (about 856,000 yuan) deposit.
The police at Melbourne still did not approve Song’s bail.
With no extradition agreement between Australia and China,
Melbourne police dont believe the CCP would assist in
extraditing him to Australia if Song doesn’t return voluntarily.
U.S. Human Rights Lawyer in Washington Ye Ning:
“This official lost his mind.
He might be used to such things in China and has escaped
legal prosecution after bullying subordinates and the poor.
He did it in a western country that greatly respects
human rights and protects womens’ rights.
He will face very severe penalties for doing the same things.”
Some media questioned that Song Jinsong was arrested
in August and the Australian media reported it in November.
Three months have passed. Why didn’t Song’s employer
know about it, handle it and report it?
Facing the questions, the Institute responded that
Song Jinsong used his private passport.
His trip to Australia was not arranged by the Institute.
The Institute is also unclear what the delegation is about
mentioned by The Age Newspaper. The Institute only
found out after seeing the news.
Netizens responded that even if Song Jinsong’s trip was
private as the Institute claims, how can the Institute authorities
suggest they did not know about it for three months, which is
significantly over the duration of staying abroad.
It is said that Song Jinsong was bailed on two counts
of digital rape.
According to the law of Australia, the maximum penalty
of rape including digital rape, is life imprisonment.
Chinese legal professionals think in accordance with
the Chinese criminal law, this act does not constitute a rape.
It is defined as “Compulsory Humiliating Women," and only
carries a sentence of five-years jail or criminal detention.
So if Song Jinsong is extradited, he would hopefully get
lighter punishment.
Nanjing lawyers and Southeast University Law School
Professor Zhang Zanning: “There are many these kind of
officials who are rich and powerful.
They could use money and relationships to get
very light or no sentences.
They even threaten victims and force them to compromise.
There are many cases like this in China.
China is not a country ruled by law."
Currently, public opinions strongly urge the authorities
not to extradite Song Jinsong back to China.
He should go to trial in Australia.
People also want to know the answers to questions such as
whether Song used public funds for his trip to Australia.
What punitive measures regarding his leadership positions,
salary, etc. will occur during his stay in Australia once he
is convicted, and the source of the money for bail, etc.
