【 #聯署聲明 | 6.26 聯合國國際支持酷刑受害者日 】
#呼籲國際持續關注中國酷刑問題
#敦促中國履行締約義務 #包括落實有效措施禁止一切形式酷刑
1987 年 6 月 26 日聯合國《禁止酷刑和其他殘忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或處罰公約》(簡稱《禁止酷刑公約》)正式生效。至 1997 年,這一天被定為「國際支持酷刑受害者日」。
今年是《禁止酷刑公約》的 34 周年紀念,我們以下聯署團體及個人謹此呼籲國際社會團結一致並堅定不懈地監督中國的酷刑問題,這對推動中國政府正視其人權違反狀況,至為關鍵。
中國為《禁止酷刑公約》的首批締約國,卻從未顯示其消除酷刑的決心。我們不忘聯合國人權專家多年來透過與中國政府的對話,提出對中國酷刑與不人道待遇問題的關注和憂慮。即如專家多次強調作爲締約成員,中國政府務須依據國際人權標準及原則,為酷刑定義,修訂刑法及刑訴程序,規範行政及執法權力,整理數據,完善監督問責機制等。
但令人遺憾的是中國政府對專家的大部分建議和呼籲,置若罔聞,而酷刑受害人亦鮮有成功申訴、索償或是追究刑責的例子。
中國政府背道而行,近年不斷強化嚴刑峻法、以含糊虛泛的國安之名,拓張行政和執法權力、將諸如「指定居所監視居住」以及其他不同形式的長期羈押和任意拘禁合理合法化,縱容酷刑繼續存在,將申訴人滅聲,令司法制度進一步扭曲。
根據酷刑受害人的報告指出,他/ 她們在關押期間,曾遭遇的酷刑和不人道的對待包括受襲、毆打、電擊、強迫長時間固定動作、幽禁、剝奪睡眠和足夠食物以至言語侮辱、威嚇和脅迫等等。
就此,我們深切關注近期關於北京丁家喜律師、法律學者許志永、廣東人權捍衛者牛騰宇曾在羈押期間遭受酷刑的報道。
此外,我們仍然憂慮以下各人的身心以及精神健康狀態:
- 陝西人權律師常瑋平,疑因公開自己在 2020 年年初曾受酷刑後,同年 10 月被帶走,至今音訊全無。
- 長沙公益仨人程淵、劉永澤和吳葛健雄;從 2019 年 7 月被羈押後至今音訊全無。
- 北京女權倡議者李翹楚,研究員,2021 年 2 月被帶走,至 3 月正式逮捕,至今無法會見律師及家人。
- 北京人權律師余文生,被判四年徒刑,現於南京服刑中。
除牛騰宇外,上述各人均被控以國安相關罪名,並因而被其本國法律剝奪會見律師的權利,直接增加其遭受酷刑的風險。
我們要進一步指出,近年有報告揭露,在中國酷刑除了被用來針對個別異見和維權人士外,更已被發展成為臣服新疆少數民族的系統性手段,也是管控和鎮壓其他少數民族地區的工具。
就著這些嚴重的關切,我們呼籲中國政府與相關的聯合國人權專家充分合作;亦即是作爲優先事項,允許國際人權專家,包括聯合國人權事務高級專員,立即前往新疆,並在尊重高級專員提出的條件下,讓她不受限禁,進入當地維吾爾族、哈薩克族、回族、吉爾吉斯族及其他受影響社區作有意義的接觸探訪。
我們重申,作爲《禁止酷刑公約》的締約國,中國政府必須履行其締約義務,以積極認真態度面對聯合國專家的關切,並竭力消除其國内的酷刑和不人道對待問題。
我們再次確認國際人權原則和標準,呼籲中國據此改革其刑事訴訟程序和機制:
1. 立即釋放所有被不符合國際人權準則程序關押和囚禁的律師、人權捍衛者以及公民。
2. 承認不受酷刑為不可克減權利的特殊性,不能以國內法給予但書。
3. 以《禁止酷刑公約》爲本,將酷刑的定義納入中國法規;並據此檢視修訂其《刑事訴訟法》,包括但不限於廢除任意羈押和長期拘留、確保會見自選律師的權利等。
4. 制定可及、透明和有效的酷刑投訴機制,以確保受害人可以申索救濟和補償,而加害者得以被法律追究。
5. 設立包含官方和非官方專家的獨立委員會,監督《禁止酷刑公約》在中國有效落實。
作爲此聲明的聯署團體及個人,我們承諾將繼續為中國的人權狀況發聲,並共同努力,推動在中國和世界範圍內消除酷刑。

Alhamdulillah, all praise is due to Allah for the endless blessings He has showered upon me and my family. After a long wait, I am finally able to unveil my #SECRETPROJECT with all of you who have been kindly praying and patiently waiting…
I AM OFFICIALLY A TEDx SPEAKER!
Yes, I have been blessed yet again with another amazing opportunity! I received this blessed news on the same day I received my double award way back on 8th October. But, since this event was strictly for KES students, parents, teachers, school governors, and Old Edwardians (alumni) only, I was not allowed to announce it until after the event.
I had to go through several stages before even getting selected as one of the speakers. First, I had to write a proposal about the topic of my talk, and fortunately, they were interested in my topic, so they called me in for the next stage, which was an interview. At this stage, I wasn’t putting much hope into getting this, as the possibility to get selected was very narrow, cos the competition was high. But, all praise is due to Allah and only Allah…I passed the interview! And the best part was that I was the only student - out of hundreds of KES students - who had been selected.
I can’t describe how proud I am to have the honour of giving a talk alongside 7 other adults - a Professor Emeritus from London, a Deputy Medical Director who recently won an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire), an actor who has also worked in large-scale science communication, a Physics and Philosophy student from the University of Oxford, an engineering graduate from Durham University, a fourth-year medical student from the University of Birmingham, and the chief executive of Wildlife & Countryside Link.
The main theme for the whole event was 'The Future Of Everything', and my chosen topic was 'Do You Speak The Future?', a talk discussing the future of language and how we can predict it. I’ll discuss about my topic in the next post. For now, allow me to personally thank each and every one of you who has been supporting me and praying for me tirelessly. May The Almighty reward all of you abundantly…
Over the moon,
O. Mukhtar O. Mukhlis

課程描述:
學術語言能力包括詞彙、文法以及學術或專業語言的話語風格。 傳統的教學方法包括描述語言、準備材料和準確地教授學術語言,但這些並不奏效。 無論你是在教授大學生,或是希望提高自己的學術語言能力,請加入Stephen Krashen錄製的四堂iTDi高級教學技能課程,以找出有效的學習方法。
Academic language proficiency consists of vocabulary, grammar, and a discourse style of academic, or professional language.

Whether you are teaching university students or just hoping to improve your own academic language proficiency, join Stephen Krashen in these four recorded sessions from his iTDi Advanced Teaching Skills course to find out what does work.
要熟練使用學術語言,我們必須:1)了解學術語言的詞彙、文法和話語風格,以及2)了解特定主題的語言。 精通語言的使用者還會採用各種策略來幫助他們的學術語言和主題學習。
To be proficient in using academic language, we have to 1) know the vocabulary, grammar and discourse style of academic language and 2) know the language of our specific subject matter. Proficient language users also employ a range of strategies that help them acquire academic language and subject-matter learning.

Nature N8 is calling out food companies that greenwash their products and limit our food options. On our last live recording at the 2020 AAAS Annual Meeting, N8 has a chat with Lydia Zepeda.
Zepeda is a Professor Emeritus of University of Wisconsin-Madison and an expert on food systems. She gives us a taste of everything food-related from food (mis)labeling to delivery services, and how we can make food choices that are healthier for both our bodies and the environment.
This episode was recorded at the AAAS annual meeting in Seattle in February, 2020.
