Family of slain fisherman relieved by Philippine homicide charges (2014/03/19)

The daughter of a Taiwanese fisherman slain last year by Philippine Coast Guard personnel is relieved to hear that charges have been filed. The Philippine Department of Justice charged eight suspects with homicide, two of whom also face obstruction of justice charges.

In May of last year, the Taiwanese fishing boat Kuang Ta Hsing No. 28 was fired upon by Philippine Coast Guard members, resulting in the death of fisherman Hung Shih-cheng. At the time, the boat was operating in waters where the two countries' exclusive economic zones overlap. Yesterday, the Philippine Department of Justice filed homicide charges against eight of the Coast Guard members.

The daughter of the deceased fisherman, early this morning set off for Siaoliouciou to make an offering of incense to her deceased father and inform him of the good news.

I am pleased. It was faster than I expected. I hope that follow-up proceedings will go as smoothly. The government is also willing to look out for the safety of fishermen in the Bashi Channel, making my father’s sacrifice worthwhile.

The victim’s daughter hopes Taiwan could play a leading role in the trial.

We look forward to them being extradited to Taiwan to stand trial. But how this would be carried out is something our government will have to figure out.

The Ministry of Justice said Taiwan and the Philippines currently have no extradition treaty. Prosecutors did say an arrest warrant has been issued, and if these individuals enter Taiwan, they will be immediately taken into custody.

判決小琉球

喧騰一時的廣大興案，昨天菲律賓司法部，以殺人罪起訴事件中的八位菲國海岸防衛人員，消息傳開後，廣大興案的死者洪石成，他的女兒洪大姊，今天一大早就搭船回小琉球，告慰父親在天之靈。

去年5月，我國漁船「廣大興28號」船員洪石成在台灣與菲律賓主張之專屬經濟海域重疊區域上，遭菲律賓公務船射殺身亡。昨天菲律賓司法部以殺人罪起訴八名菲國海岸防衛隊人員。

“蠻欣慰的，比我預期的還快，我希望後續的進展也那麼順利，政府也願意去重視，漁民在巴士海峽作業的安全，所以爸爸的犧牲應該是值得”

洪慈綪進一步希望台灣能主導審判。

“很期望他們可以引渡來台灣受審，但是這種方面怎麼進行，是我們的政府要去做的”

法務部表示，台菲之間目前並沒有引渡條約或協定，因此引渡有困難，不過檢方已經發布通緝，未來只要一入境台灣就會立即逮捕。
