Philippine court orders arrest of eight Coast Guard officers over death of Taiwanese fisherman (2014/04/23)
A Philippines court has issued arrest warrants for eight Philippine Coast Guard officials suspected of homicide in the death of a Taiwanese fisherman. If found guilty, the suspects would face 12 to 20 years in prison.
In the morning of May 9, 2013, the Philippine Coast Guard sprayed the Kuang Ta Hsing No. 28 fishing vessel with gunfire, killing fisherman Hung Shih-cheng. Philippine prosecutors charged eight officers with homicide.
The defendants submitted a motion for reconsideration, but the court rejected it, citing sufficient evidence. It has issued arrest warrants for the suspects.

Daughter of Killed Fisherman
It seems like the maximum sentence is 20 years. I’m pleased to see these arrests and believe (the suspects) should face justice.
Due to the tragic death of her father, Hung Tzu-chien wants the suspects punished in accordance with the law. As part of her father’s legacy, she hopes a mechanism can be created to protect the rights of Taiwanese fishermen if similar cases occur in the future.
廣大興拘捕
涉嫌殺害台灣廣大興28號漁民洪石成的菲律賓八名海巡隊員,已遭菲國法院以殺人罪發布拘捕令,一旦罪名成立,八人將被判處十二年到二十年徒刑,對於菲律賓的做法,洪石城大女兒洪慈綪說,樂觀其成,就希望菲國能秉公處理。
去年5月9號上午,廣大興號漁船遭菲律賓海巡隊員掃射,造成漁民洪石成死亡,涉案的八名海巡隊員,被菲律賓檢方依殺人起訴。
被告曾提起訴願,但法院認為檢方提出證據充足,認定起訴成立,甚至還對八人簽發逮捕令。

(最重會判)好像是二十年以下。覺得樂觀其成,我覺得他們應該受到相對的法律制裁。
洪大姐坦言,真的不是要趕盡殺絕,只是廣大興28號的悲劇既然已經發生,該判幾年就得判,一切依法執行,希望藉著廣大興案來建立制度,往後如果有發生類似事件,能替台灣漁民爭取該有的權利。
