A Letter to the Legal Professionals in Chongqing
A Letter to the Legal Professionals in Chongqing He Weifang | Posted on 2011-04-12 贺卫方按 : 近悉香港大学“中国媒体项目”已经将我致重庆法律界的公开信翻译成英文,发表于该机构的网站上。译文有极个别节略,我也做了几处修订。这里也转载一下,并表达对该机构的谢意。 http://cmp.hku.hk/2011/04/12/11481/ Dear colleagues in the legal world in Chongqing: For more than a year now, I ’ ve wanted to write an open letter to discuss with everyone my views on the “ anti-crime drive ” ( 打黑 ) in Chongqing. But considering that I wrote quite a number of commentaries on my own blog and for various media, I feared I might make carping remarks or get all twisted up, so I wrote off the idea. However, a number of trends in Chongqing of late are nagging causes for anxiety. In my view, the various things that have happened in that city already pose a danger to the most basic notions of a society ruled by law. And as a legal scholar, one in particular who has participated in the process of judicial reform, I believe I now have an urgent duty to openly express my uneasiness and voice my criticisms.
