China firmly opposed to EU statement on Tibetan executions | China has strongly objected to an EU statement which denounced the execution of two Tibetans convicted of murder in last year's Lhasa riot. The Swedish EU presidency released a statement Thursday,
denouncing the recent death penalty handed down to two Tibetans involved in the
Lhasa riot and asking China to abolish the capital sentences. "We are strongly
dissatisfied with and firmly oppose the EU statement," Xinhua quoted Chinese Foreign
Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu, as saying in a news release. The Lhasa violence
involving beating, smashing, looting and burning in 2008 was a sabotage activity
"premeditated, organized and masterminded" by the Dalai Lama group, who instigated
Tibetan separatists in and out of China to fuel up the incident, Ma said. China's
legal institutions have carried out fair and open trials and brought only the
culprits of the criminal activities to justice, he said. "This was China's internal
affair and judicial sovereignty which allows no other country to interfere with."
China asks the EU to abide by the principles of equality and mutual respect and
not to send any misleading signals to Tibetan separatists, so as to ensure sound
and stable development of EU-China relations, Ma said. |
