Death sentence on Filipino
According to Manila Inquirer, it’s now final. Spokesmen
for both the Chinese embassy and the Department of
Foreign Affairs said of the decision of the Supreme
People’s Court of China affirming the drug trafficking
conviction and death sentence of a Filipino scheduled for
execution next week, as said by Ethan Sun Yi, deputy chief of the embassy’s political section and mission spokesperson.
DFA spokesman Raul Hernandez said exactly the same
thing, but added that “our government is appealing that
the death penalty be commuted to life imprisonment for
humanitarian reasons.”
