譴責賴清德總統任內執行首例死刑(台灣)

國際人權聯盟(FIDH)及其會員組織台灣人權促進會(TAHR)和人權公約施行監督聯盟(Covenants Watch)強烈譴責台灣近期執行的死刑——這是賴清德總統於2024年5月20日上任後首例死刑執行。

巴黎、台北,2025年1月17日:

FIDH、台灣人權促進會和人權公約施行監督聯盟表示,這次死刑執行與台灣政府承諾願意致力於遵守國際人權標準不符,並對賴總統是否有意推展廢除死刑提出嚴重質疑。

根據法務部說法,32歲黃麟凱於2025年1月16日晚間10點02分在台北看守所被槍決。黃麟凱因2013年10月1日發生於新北市三重區的案件,意即殺害前女友及謀殺其母親,於2017年被判處死刑。儘管黃麟凱的辯護團隊向包括法務部、最高檢察署、台灣高等法院和憲法法庭在內等多個機構提出了最後時刻的暫緩執行請求,他仍遭到執行死刑。

黃麟凱的處決是台灣近五年來首例死刑執行。上次執行死刑是2020年4月1日,當時54歲的翁仁賢在台北看守所被單一執行者槍決。翁仁賢於2017年2月13日被判處死刑,罪名是於2016年2月7日農曆除夕在桃園市家中縱火燒死五名家庭成員及一名看護工。該次死刑執行是蔡英文總統任內第二次、也是最後一次執行,蔡總統於2016年至2024年期間在任。目前台灣仍有36名死囚。

FIDH、台灣人權促進會和人權公約施行監督聯盟呼籲台灣政府加強努力,朝向廢除死刑邁進,以全面落實國際審查委員會分別於2013年3月、2017年1月及2022年5月審查台灣落實《公民與政治權利國際公約》(ICCPR)情況後提出的建議。這些建議包括立即宣布暫停執行死刑、將所有死刑判決改為其他刑罰,以及將旨在廢除死刑的《公民與政治權利國際公約第二項任擇議定書》納入台灣的國內法律框架。

作為世界反死刑聯盟(WCADP)成員的 FIDH、台灣人權促進會和人權公約施行監督聯盟再次重申,無論任何罪行或情況,他們堅決反對死刑。

Taiwan: First execution under President Lai condemned

The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and its member organizations Taiwan Association for Human Rights (TAHR) and Covenants Watch strongly condemn the latest execution in Taiwan – the first carried out under President Lai Ching-te, who took office on 20 May 2024.

Paris, Taipei, 17 January 2025. The latest execution is inconsistent with the Taiwanese government’s commitment to upholding international human rights standards and casts serious doubts over President Lai’s willingness to make progress towards the abolition of the death penalty, say FIDH, TAHR, and Covenants Watch.

At 10:02pm on 16 January 2025, Huang Lin-kai, 32, was executed by shooting at the Taipei Detention Center, according to the Ministry of Justice. Mr. Huang had been sentenced to death in 2017 for the murder of his ex-girlfriend and her mother in New Taipei’s Sanchong District on 1 October 2013. Mr. Huang was executed despite the filing by his legal team of last-minute requests for a stay of execution to various authorities, including the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, the Taiwan High Court, and the Constitutional Court.

Mr. Huang’s execution was the first in nearly five years. The previous execution took place on 1 April 2020, when Weng Jen-hsien, 54, was shot by a single executioner at the Taipei Detention Center. Mr. Weng had been sentenced to death on 13 February 2017 after being found guilty of burning to death five family members and a caregiver on Lunar New Year’s Eve on 7 February 2016 at the family home in Taoyuan City. That was the second and last execution under President Tsai Ing-wen, who was in office from 2016 to 2014. There are still 36 prisoners on death row in Taiwan.

FIDH, TAHR, and Covenants Watch urge the government to intensify its efforts towards the abolition of capital punishment by fully implementing the recommendations made by the International Review Committees in March 2013, January 2017, and May 2022, following their reviews of Taiwan’s implementation of the of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Such recommendations include the immediate declaration of a moratorium on executions, the commutation of all death sentences, and the incorporation of the Second Optional Protocol to the ICCPR, aiming at the abolition of the death penalty, in Taiwan’s national legal framework.

FIDH, a member of the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty (WCADP), TAHR, and Covenants Watch reiterate their strong opposition to the death penalty for all crimes and in all circumstances.
