毒品危害严重!新加坡将对付死刑犯滥用法庭程序的问题

因此,为了更好地处理这种情况,更好地处理死囚在临刑前最后一刻提出的无理申请,国会通过了一项法案,即《死刑案件上诉后申请法》,简称 PACC。该法案将在几周内很快生效。该法案旨在保障司法和法治。它引入了新的要求,以减少诉讼可能出现的延误。

例如,如果PACP已被上诉法院维持原判,那么他或她将被要求申请许可提出 PACC申请。根据简化后的程序,只有上诉法院可以审理该申请并批准暂缓执行。作为申请的一部分,当事人必须说明申请的理由以及没有及早提出申请的原因。

但是,即使在该法律生效之前,36 名PACP也曾于去年9月提出上诉后申请,质疑该法律的合宪性。该申请最近被上诉法院驳回。PACP没有资格提出这样的质疑,提出质疑的事实只能说明PACP滥用了法院的程序。

就在法院驳回上诉的一天之后,36 名PACP(其中 34 人是先前提出上诉后申请的相同当事方)提出了另一项上诉后申请,现在所依据的是其他事项。

我不对这些当前申请的是非曲直发表评论。我对无理申请、滥用程序以及所有其他类似意见的评论,仅适用于已被法院裁定并驳回的申请。我所依据的是法院本身的说法。

在所有上诉和赦免途径都已用尽后,有大批 PACP 联合向法院提交申请,这已不是第一次。在过去几年中,至少有另外五份此类联合申请,每份申请涉及 10 多名 PACP。《死刑案件上诉后申请法》生效后将处理许多此类申请。

我们现正考虑还需要做些什么来确保这项新法案能够得到适当支持。如有必要,我们将向国会汇报。我希望向各位议员和新加坡人民明确表示:请放心,我们将采取一切必要措施,确保解决这种滥用程序的问题。

以下是英文质询内容:

I will now move on to deal with attempts by some to undermine our approach. The evidence for our approach is compelling. People can see what is happening around the world, which is why I took some time to explain country by country some of the countries – first-world; South America; the US; this region.

Despite that, in recent years, there has been a small group of people who attempt to mislead the public with misinformation on drug traffickers and the death penalty. They seek to evoke sympathy by presenting an image of an unfair criminal justice system stacked against drug traffickers. They publish videos, pictures, stories from the traffickers' childhood, sharing interviews with family members. He has got a brother; he has got a sister; he has a child; he had a childhood. Poor guy. And portraying the trafficker as a victim of unfortunate circumstances. He did not have money and therefore, he trafficked in drugs.

But they leave out the facts of the cases. They leave out the accounting of the harms caused to the victims of the traffickers. They glorify the trafficker. They do not give any voice to the victims, the number of lives lost or wrecked by drugs; and the reason the traffickers were trafficking the drugs in the first place, which is to make money. The victims also have wives, sisters, children, parents. All of these people will also suffer.

If you face financial difficulties, if you need money, get a job. You do not have to traffic in drugs to make money.

Earlier, I recounted some stories of drug abuse overseas. We have seen shocking stories in Singapore too. Early last year, a man was convicted of committing incest with his 17-year-old daughter after sharing methamphetamine (meth) with her. She became reliant on him for sustaining her addiction and did not come forward with the truth for months.
