2010年自由之家(Freedom House)的年度報告出爐!

國際人權組織「自由之家」今天發布報告指出,台灣雖仍列名「自由」國家,但「公民自由評等」從最佳的1級降為2級(2010.1.13中央社新聞),以下是該份報告的重點翻譯:


2010年『自由之家(Freedom House)』年度報告

政治權利部份(Political Rights,簡稱PR)

(原文)Taiwan’s political rights rating improved from 2 to 1 due to enforcement of anticorruption laws that led to the prosecution of former high-ranking officials, the annulment of several legislators’ elections owing to vote-buying, and the investigation of over 200 candidates for alleged vote-buying in local elections.

(翻譯)台灣的政治權利評比從2改善為1,係因防制貪腐法律之落實,導致部份高階前政務官員遭到起訴,與某些立法委員因賄選買票而被認定當選無效,以及超過200個地方選舉的候選人亦因疑似賄選而遭到調查。


公民自由部份(Civil Liberties,簡稱CL)

(原文)Taiwan’s civil liberties rating declined from 1 to 2 due to flaws in the protection of criminal defendants’ rights that were exposed during anticorruption prosecutions and a high-profile murder case, as well as a law that infringes on academic freedom by barring staff and scholars at public educational facilities from participating in certain political activities.

(翻譯)台灣的公民自由評比從1降等為2,係因在部份防制貪腐案的起訴以及一件高度關注刑事殺人案件(蘇建和案),其保護刑事被告權益上有疏失;此外,政府藉由立法(公務人員行政中立法)禁止公立校園職員與學者參與特定政治活動,進而侵犯學術自由。


說明:

自由之家另在報告中以附註方式點出,台灣的政治權利評比較2009年有改善,但公民自由則有惡化的情形(Taiwan’s political rights rating improved in 2009, while its civil liberties rating declined) 。
