Should traffickers die?

The following is a newspaper report on this topic for reference only.

A topic about "should traffickers be sentenced to death" spread in the circle of WeChat friends. After more than ten hours of continuous fermentation, countless netizens reprinted or commented on this topic, and everyone left messages to express their views. Human trafficking leads to family breakdown, and traffickers are abhorrent. But should the punishment for traffickers be sentenced to death? Can the death penalty really curb the crime of human trafficking? In this regard, the reporter interviewed a number of citizens, lawyers, prosecutors and others late at night, and they all expressed their views on this issue.

The reporter found that what was originally reprinted by netizens was a picture with a black background. There is a boy in tears in the picture, and the words "Insist on suggesting that the state amend the legal provisions on child abduction and sell the child to death." The signature is "XXX Propaganda". While this picture was madly forwarded by tens of thousands of netizens, some posts with similar content published by the official WeChat account also appeared one after another. The Yunlai team, which once produced "It's snowing in Shenzhen", also quickly launched an H5 WeChat product called "Supporting the execution of traffickers".

These posts are mainly visually shocking pictures, with twists and turns and tearful stories of finding children, which are extremely sensational, and the ultimate orientation is to support traffickers in sentencing to death. Netizens have left messages to express their support, and some celebrities and the public have also forwarded or left messages to express their views and opinions.

All parties are hotly discussing.

"Dear" prototype Sun Haiyang: Hate traffickers and buyers.

Sun Haiyang is one of the archetypes in the movie Dear. Speaking of kidnapping children, his voice became excited: "The buyer will be sentenced! Traffickers want the death penalty! I especially support it. " Eight years ago, his son Sun Zhuo was abducted by a trafficker and never heard from again. No one hates traffickers more than he does. "As long as someone is looking for me, I will tell him about my son's loss. For so many years, I have exposed my scars over and over again so that others can pay attention and help me find them together. "

Recently, someone called to say that they saw a child somewhere in Shandong, and it was suspected that it was Sun Zhuo. Sun Haiyang immediately rushed to Shandong, but he was disappointed again. "Although it is not my child, I know that this child was bought by this family through inquiry." Sun Haiyang informed the local police to save the child. This has happened many times. During the eight-year search, Sun Haiyang helped rescue at least 20 abducted children, and a family in Baoan found their lost son with his help.

"I hate traffickers and I can't forgive buyers." Seeing the voice of "calling for the death penalty for traffickers" launched on the Internet, Sun Haiyang expressed absolute support, hoping to crack down on rampant child trafficking by increasing sentencing.

Deng Fei, a famous kidnapper in Weibo, opposes the death penalty for child kidnappers.

Deng Fei, the initiator of abduction in Weibo, also expressed his views. He said that his anti-trafficking team in Weibo learned from four years' anti-trafficking practice that child trafficking in China is a systematic and complicated problem. Its appearance is trafficking, and there are many problems behind it: for example, the increase of infertility of urban people, family planning policy, family inheritance, such as anxiety about providing for the elderly, and the pain of losing independence.

"I understand the anger of those who call for the death penalty. I am also in favor of increasing the punishment for child traffickers and starting to punish children buyers to curb the buying and selling market, but I am opposed to the death penalty for all child traffickers. " Deng Fei said that the execution of the death penalty has legal procedures, and the death penalty has never been the fundamental solution to the problem. Zhu Yuanzhang killed corrupt officials and skinned people, which did not solve the problem of dynasty corruption. Drug trafficking is the same, so is drug trafficking. For this kind of screen forwarding, he believes that netizens should not be simple and rude, nor should they be verbal guns. Only by being independent and calm can we find the crux of the problem of child trafficking and prescribe the right medicine. "There has never been a panacea once and for all. We need patience, time and effort. Among them, the government should work harder because some problems can only be solved by government policies. "

Mothers of Young Children: Same Position and Two Views

Ms Lin, who lives in Nanshan, is a young mother. She won her second daughter six months ago. "Human traffickers must be sentenced to death, hell to pay!" Ms. Lin said that as a mother, she hated the despicable behavior of traffickers. Although the traffickers didn't kill anyone, losing a child can never cure a family. At the same time, Ms. Lin suggested collecting fingerprints and DNA from every child and establishing a national online file. Traffickers, men, women and children, should be sentenced to death directly, and medical treatment should not be suspended or released on parole.

Ms. Wu Yanfen, who lives in Futian and is also a mother of two children, said that the problem of traffickers being sentenced to death cannot be generalized. At the same time, she supports "life imprisonment" to combat child trafficking.

Netizen: Overwhelmingly support traffickers to be sentenced to death.

The reporter found in two mainstream Weibo that more than 90% of netizens supported traffickers to be sentenced to death. Zhao Lihua, a well-known poetess and a real-name authentication user in Weibo, said: "There is no other way except two measures: First, traffickers must be executed. Second, the number of children lost in any area exceeded 10, and the local public security bureau chief investigated and dealt with the crime of dereliction of duty. " Another Weibo real-name authentication user, Hong Kong artist Csillam, bluntly supports the death penalty.

At the same time, some netizens called on parents to strengthen the protection and supervision of their children, not to trust others, and not to disclose their information and whereabouts to others at will. "At the stage when children are sensible, let children strengthen their awareness of self-protection."

Lawyer's statement

Compared with the unanimous approval of citizens and netizens, the voice from the legal profession is much calmer.

Don't use emotional thinking to think rationally. "It is clearly stipulated in the Criminal Law that abducting and selling children constitutes a crime, and according to the circumstances, it can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than 5 years 10 years and fined. Those who cause serious injury, death or other serious consequences to children or their relatives may be sentenced to death. " In the face of surging public opinion, lawyer Zhao of a law firm in Shenzhen said that the forwarding of netizens is irrational, and the sentencing of traffickers in criminal law ranges from five years to the death penalty, which already includes the death penalty. If all traffickers need the death penalty, it will be an extreme practice of "homotopy revenge".

Lawyer Zhao said that it is obviously biased to think rationally with perceptual thinking. He cited the crime of intentional homicide as an example. Article 232 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever intentionally kills shall be sentenced to death, life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment of more than 10 years; If the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years. "The circumstances of intentional homicide are more serious, but the sentencing is also serious, so I don't agree with the statement that traffickers are sentenced to death."

Lawyer Zhao believes that there are clear regulations on traffickers at the national level, and the law enforcement level can be strengthened. "With the law, law enforcement must be strict, and the sentencing of traffickers ranges from five years to the death penalty. Judges and procuratorates can strengthen punishment according to different situations and let them be punished as they deserve. " On the other hand, parents, as direct guardians, shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting children. Lawyer Zhao said that many parents forwarded it with anger, but they should also reflect on whether they neglected to take care of their children.

Traffickers should be held accountable and buyers should be punished.

Lawyer Guo, a partner of the law firm, has the same view as lawyer Zhao. She believes that the punishment for traffickers has been clearly stipulated in the legislation. If "violence against violence" is adopted, it is believed that all traffickers will be sentenced to death, which will increase the cost of crime. "If the sentencing of traffickers is aggravated, trafficked children can live in imported goods, and many people will take risks and continue to commit crimes for money, which cannot achieve the purpose of curbing trafficking."

At the same time, she said that the current law has a lighter punishment for property buyers, and the sentencing for property buyers should be increased. She told reporters that Article 241 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever buys abducted women and children shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. Whoever buys abducted women and children and fails to prevent them from returning to their original residence according to their wishes, maltreats children and prevents them from being rescued may not be investigated for criminal responsibility. Lawyer Guo believes that it is the buyer who promotes the prosperity of the seller's market that traffickers abduct children, and buying and selling should actually be the same crime. "There is no harm without buying and selling, which also applies to children. Traffickers should be held accountable and buyers should be whipped. " Lawyer Guo Yuling wrote in her circle of friends.
