美国重启联邦死刑 五死囚将伏法

美国司法部周四(25日)允许联邦政府执行死刑,并立即排定5名死刑犯的处决日期。

司法部长威廉巴尔(William Barr)透过声明表示,“国会已通过人民代表,并且获得总统签署,明确授权执行死刑。 ”

据司法部官员指出,联邦政府最后一次执行死刑在2003年,自此之后,针对过去注射药物处决要犯的诉讼一再拖延,造成联邦政府无法继续实行死刑。

据《路透社》报道,美国总统特朗普曾呼吁增加对毒贩与狙击手处决死刑,相信这奠定允许执行死刑的基础要求。

已有62名联邦死囚待处决

美国目前已有62名联邦死囚待处决,包括2013年波士顿马拉松爆炸案的焦哈尔·查纳耶夫(Dzhokhar Tsarnaev)。 62名中有41.9巴仙是黑人、11.3巴仙是亚洲人、印第安人以及拉丁裔;另43.6巴仙则是白人,大部分来自得克萨斯州、维吉尼亚州以及密苏里州。

对此,民权自由联盟死刑计划主任Cassandra Stubbs则表示,“在死刑面前,我们可以发现地理位置与种族的偏见”,她续指,司法部的做法已出乎大部分美国人的预期。

司法部表示,已排定5名联邦死囚的伏法日期,6周内将执行完毕,这些人都会以单一药物“戊巴比妥”(pentobarbital)处死。

当中将被处决的死刑犯包括白人优越主义的犯人丹尼尔.刘易斯.李(Daniel Lewis Lee),因杀害包括一名8岁女童在内的一家3口而被定罪。 他将成为首位伏法的犯人,将在12月9日执行。

另一名包括杀害一名老妇和她的9岁孙女的米契尔(Lezmond Mitchell), 以及3名分别涉及杀害与性侵犯的犯人。

公众对死刑的支持率下降

民意调查显示,自20世纪90年代以来,美国公众对死刑的支持率已经下降,所有欧盟国家都已废除死刑。

联合国秘书长安东尼奥古特雷斯的发言人哈克表示,安东尼认为这种做法不应该发生在任何地方。

“联合国认为所有想要执行死刑的国家,更像只想要一劳永逸结束一切的做法。 ”哈克向记者透露。
