ヒューマンライツ・ナウは、恣意的逮捕を促す中国・香港当局の国案法域外適用に抗議する口頭声明を、ジュネーブで開催された第54会期人権理事会で発表しました。反体制派の中国人ルー・シーウェイ氏がラオスで恣意的に逮捕されたり、海外に逃れている香港人民主活動家8名を懸賞金をかけて指名手配するなど、事態は深刻です。私たちは、国家による恣意的逮捕を促す国案法域外適用を阻止するための措置を国際社会が可決することを呼びかけます。

以下が声明の原文です。動画はこちらからご覧頂けます。

Thank you, Mr. Vice President.

Human Rights Now is deeply concerned about governments prompting other states or overseas actors to arbitrarily arrest or disappear persons in their jurisdiction to hand them over.

In July, the Chinese human rights lawyer Lu Siwei was arbitrarily detained in Laos and deprived of his rights to judicial due process; and he was reportedly deported to China recently. This is the twenty-second time a Chinese dissident was arrested or disappeared in Southeast Asia in recent years, and the sixth time in Laos.

We call on the government of China to release Lu Siwei, for Hong Kong authorities to withdraw the bounty for the Hong Kong 8 and stop harassing their family members in Hong Kong, and for the international community to take measures to help prevent governments from prompting extraterritorial arbitrary arrests, detentions, disappearances, and abductions.

Thank you.
