北美洲台灣人教授協會(NATPA)教授們齊聚溫哥華召開2014年會, 我們在此誠摯呼籲馬英九總統,尊重醫學專業與醫療人權,早日讓阿扁居家療養。我們不希望扁案繼續成為統治者鬥爭工具,更擔心萬一陳總統病死獄中的話,對國家社會將是難以承受的災難。
鑑於:
1. 2014年08月14日,台灣北社等20民間社團共同召開『請問馬英九還要關阿扁多久?』 記者會,呼籲社會大眾關心命在旦夕的陳前總統,要求馬英九盡速讓阿扁居家治療。
2. 2014年08月06日,針對2009-09-03壹週刊報導陳總統在帛琉開戶進行洗錢一案,特偵組偵辦5年,查無不法實據,將全案無罪簽結。
3. 2014年07月03日,中研院廖運範等21名具醫藥背景院士連署,呼籲馬政府遵照醫囑讓阿扁居家療養。
4. 2014年06月11日,監察委員黃煌雄公布「陳前總統醫療人權案」調查結果,建議「從醫學專業的立場,居家照護是目前陳前總統最佳的醫療措施」。完完整整的資料同時也送給總統馬英九作參考。
5. 台北地方法院於2013年10月01日 指定高雄長庚醫院神經內科主治醫師陳順勝醫師擔任鑑定人,對陳水扁身心狀況本其醫療專業進行司法鑑定。2013年12月20日依其鑑定裁定全案停止審判。陳順勝醫師描述:其失能狀態與診斷,觀察時間遠超過半年,已可以開出「病症與失能診斷證明書」(申請聘僱外傭用)、「身障礙者鑑定表」(殘障手冊)與「重大傷病」。
6. 一手創立HRAC(Human Rights Action
Center)的美籍國際人權鬥士Jack Healey,最近幾年頻頻為文表達對台灣阿扁總統的深度關切,今年開春也再度呼籲馬英九釋放阿扁總統 ("Spring in the Horse
Year:Free Chen Shui-bian" -
2014/02/18)。
7. 前美國司法部長克拉克(Ramsey Clark) 2012年8月到台灣探視過阿扁後說,『台灣的未來將決定於陳水扁的健康是否恢復,否則政府將被視為謀殺者。』
A Petition to Urge President
Ma-Ying-Jeou to Respect Medical Expertise and Ethics and to Return Past
President Chen Shui-Bian Home for Medical Treatment
Petitioned by:
1. American Professors’
Association (NATPA) 北美洲台灣人教授協會
2. Taiwanese Canadian
Association (TCA) 加拿大台灣同鄉會
3. Greater Vancouver
Taiwanese Canadian Association (GVTCA) 大溫哥華台灣同鄉會
The Annual meeting of the
North-American Professors’ Association (NATPA) was held on August 15-17, 2014
at Vancouver, B.C., Canada. NATPA joined Taiwanese Canadian Association
(TCA加拿大台灣同鄉會), and Greater Vancouver
Taiwanese Canadian Association (GVTCA大溫哥華台灣同鄉會) to urge President Ma-Ying-Jeou to respect the medical
opinions and assessment and medical human rights, to release President Chen so
that he may go home to receive medical treatment. We do not wish that President
Chen’s case continues to be the political fighting tool of Taiwan’s political
ruler. We are particularly concerned that if President Chen dies in the
jail, there would be uncontrollable disasters for Taiwan as a nation. We
present some of the conditions supporting our petition in the following:
1. On August 14, 2014, Taiwan North Organization (台灣北社) and other 20 Taiwanese
citizen associations and organizations together held a press conference. The
conference asked: “How much longer is President Ma-Ying-Jeou going to keep
President Chen in jail?” The associations and organizations urged that citizens
of Taiwan be concerned with the life and health of President Chen and demanded
that Ma-Ying-Jeou release Abian so that he may return home for his medical
treatment.
2. On August 6, 2009-09-03 Taiwan Weekly News
(壹週刊) reported that the charge
that President Chen opened an account for money laundering could not be
substantiated even after 5 years of special investigation. The conclusion was
that he was not guilty.
3. On July 3, 2014, fellow of the Academy Seneca (中研院), Liao Yuan-Fein, and 20
other fellows with medical expertise, signed a petition to urge Ma’s government
to respect the medical diagnosis to release President Chen to return to his
home for medical treatment.
4. On June 11, Member of Control Yuan, Huang
Han-Hsiun (監察委員黃煌雄) publically announced the
result of the investigation of the case of Past President’s medical human
rights. It recommended that: “from the medical profession’s point of view, the
passport for returning him to his home is the best medical treatment for Past
President Chen.” The complete investigation results were presented to President
Ma for consideration.
5. On October 1, 2013, The District Court of
Taipei appointed Head Neurological physician of Chian Kuan Hospital, Dr. Chen
Shuan Shun (高雄長庚醫院神經內科主治醫師陳順勝醫師), to head the judicial
investigation of the physical and mental health of Chen Shui-Bian. The entire
investigation was completed on December 20, 2013. Dr. Chen Shuan Shun reported
that “based on the incapacitation and diagnosis, in half a year later, a
certificate of symptoms and incapacitation could be issued (which is normally
used for application to exit the jail), as could be the certificate of
disability, and “the certificate of major illness”.
6. In recent years, Jack Healey, human rights
activist who single-handedly established the Human Rights Action Center,
expressed his deep concern for Taiwan’s Abian President. He urged Ma-Ying-Jeou
in the spring to release President Abian. He wrote: “Spring in the Horse Year:
Free Chen Shui-bian (2014/02/18).
7. Former Head of Justice Department of US,
Ramsey Clark, visited President Chen in August, 2012 and concluded that
“Taiwan’s future will depend on the health of Chen Shui-Bian. Otherwise, the
government of Taiwan may be perceived to be the murderer.”
Based on the above findings
and facts, President Chen is innocent of charges and his health is in great
jeopardy. He should be released immediately from the confinement so that he can
return home for medical treatment. We demand President Ma act promptly.
