【大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网4月8日讯】(希望之声记者雨晴、米兰报导)4月6日，欧洲议会副主席爱德华．麦克米兰-斯考特（Edward McMillan-Scott）在得悉沉寂了8个月之久的大陆著名维权律师高智晟通过电话，第一次公开向外界讲出了自去年8月15日遭中共秘密绑架后，他和他的家庭至今所遭受的酷刑、要挟和诬陷等状况后，透过希望之声表达了他的看法。基于中共持续的对高智晟和所有维权人士的迫害，麦克米兰-斯考特呼吁世界的人民必须停止北京奥运。连接收听
爱德华。麦克米兰-斯考特在信中写到：
“I send my best wishes and support to all who protest about the arbitrary, brutal, corrupt and paranoid Communist regime in China. Every day brings more evidence of crimes against humanity by agents of the Chinese Communist Party and its agencies; every day is a day nearer the freedom and democracy which the people of China deserve after generations of horror. Every day is a day nearer the justice which the International Criminal Court, supported by 104 states so far, will hand down to the tyrants in China.
我祝福和支持所有抗议中共集权的无理暴力、偏执和腐败的人士。每一天都有更多的证据，揭露中共集团和官员迫害人类的罪行，但每一天中国人都离民主和自由更近──这是在经历了一代又一代的恐怖之后，他们应该拥有的自由和民主。每一天也离中国的独裁者接受审判的日子更近，这审判将由104个国家所支持的国际法庭执行。
“I want in particular to highlight the way in which the regime is treating China’s leading human rights activist, Mr Gao Zhisheng, a Christian who will today celebrate the resurrection of his God. His so-called ‘house arrest’ – after I spoke to him and took up his cause – is a living hell. Just because of their treatment of this one man, the world community must stop the Beijing Olympics. Gao is being punished because of his defence of the many thousands of victims of the regime, like Zhang Lianying, the wife of Niu Jinping, who I met last May in Beijing: she has been tortured so much for her practise of Falun Gong that she is deaf.
我要特别提到这个政权是如何对付高智晟律师──一位中国的领先人权主义者，也是一位基督徒。在我与他通话并为他的事业呼吁之后，高律师正被所谓的“软禁”，他正遭受着地狱般的生活。就因为他们对待此人的手段，世界的人民必须停止北京奥运。高律师被这样的惩罚，只因他维护了中共政权的受害者，正如我去年五月在北京认识的张连英女士，牛进平的妻子：她只因炼法轮功就遭受严重迫害，目前已经双耳失聪。
“The other former prisoner I met, Mr Cao Dong, is still in prison and suffering torture. His crime, apart from being a Falun Gong practitioner, is that he met me while I was preparing a report on human rights and democracy. His case was raised with the regime recently by the new president of the European Parliament, Dr Hans-Gert Poettering. The civilised world is watching – and waiting.”
另一位我见过面的曹东先生，目前还在监狱遭受酷刑。他的罪行，除了作为一个法轮功学员以外，就是他当我在准备一篇人权和民主的报告时，与我会面。近期欧洲议会的新主席波特林 （ Hans-Gert Poettering ）已经向中共提及他的案子。文明的国家正在看着，正在等待。
欧洲议会副主席麦克米兰．斯考特（Edward McMillan-Scott），从1997年9月起到2001年12月担任欧洲议会的保守党领袖，并监督了1999年欧盟的选举。2004年7月他被选为欧洲议会副主席，同时，他也是欧洲议会中最大观察团的主席。在欧洲议会中，麦克米兰-斯考特担任多年的外交事务和安全部门的保守党发言人。
