60025244 China has refused to pardon the condemned to death Filipinos
China has executed three Filipino traffickers. It is reported by Agence France-Presse, citing the statement of Vice President of the Philippines Dzheyomara Binaya (Jejomar Binay). 42-year-old Ramon's Creed (Ramon Credo), 32-year-old Sally Villanueva (Sally Villanueva) and 38-year-old Elizabeth Bataineh (Elizabeth Batain) were arrested in China in 2008 for smuggling heroin. Authorities of the Philippines and personally to the Vice-President of this country have repeatedly appealed to the PRC government with a request to commute the sentence. They argued that the detainees are from poor families and were involved in drug trafficking by international syndicates. However, Beijing insisted that the Filipinos be judged by local laws. As a result, they were sentenced to death by lethal injection. Immediately before the sentence convicts allowed to see their families. Recall, according to a report of Amnesty International in China performed more executions than the rest of the world. In February this year, China reduced the number of crimes that involve the death penalty. Under the reduction came across an article for the smuggling of historical values, fraud and manipulation of taxes.
