The Chinese Embassy in Spain expresó hoy su "firme oposición y enérgica condena" due to the decision of the National Court to issue an international arrest warrant against five former Chinese leaders, including former president Jiang Zemin, for alleged crimes such as genocide in Tibet.
Madrid, 14 feb.- La Embajada de China en España expresó hoy su "firme oposición y enérgica condena" due to the decision of the National Court to issue an international arrest warrant against five former Chinese leaders, including former president Jiang Zemin, for alleged crimes such as genocide in Tibet.
A few days ago, the judge of the National Court Ismael Moreno issued that arrest warrant against former Chinese leaders in the framework of an investigation for alleged crimes of genocide., torture and crimes against humanity in the Chinese autonomous region of Tibet.
through a note, la Embajada china en Madrid acusó a la Audiencia Nacional de "hacer caso omiso de los hechos básicos y la imparcialidad judicial" y de "abusar" of the doctrine of justice universal.
También asegura que con esa decisión el tribunal español "interviene en los asuntos internos de China, apoyando las actividades escisionistas", in reference to Tibet.
The diplomacy china afirma que la iniciativa de la Justicia española "es una violación de los principios fundamentales de los derechos internacionales y de las relaciones internacionales" and emphasizes that, regarding China's ties with Tibet, It's not about ethnic issues., religious or human rights, "sino de principios esenciales respecto a la soberanía y la integridad territorial" of the country.
La resolución del juez Moreno es "absurda" y "no logrará ningún apoyo internacional", in the opinion of the Chinese Embassy, which emphasizes that Spain is a friendly country, with fruitful results in several decades based on mutual understanding and reciprocal respect for fundamental interests.
"Esperamos que la parte española pueda ver con claridad la naturaleza de este caso, correct your mistake immediately, eliminar el efecto negativo y mantener el desarrollo sano y estable de las relaciones bilaterales con acciones concretas", add the note.
The Embassy thus follows the reaction of the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Hua Chunying, quien el pasado martes mostró su confianza en que España maneje "apropiadamente" el asunto para mantener el progreso de las "buenas" relations between both countries.
"Espero que todas las partes, including our friends from the press, puedan distinguir lo bueno de lo malo y ver claramente el daño que hace la decisión errónea de las instancias españolas", the spokesperson said.
That same Tuesday night, the Spanish Congress approved the reform of universal justice proposed by the PP with the rejection en bloc of the entire parliamentary opposition and that limits the conditions under which a national judge can investigate crimes committed outside the country.
The initiative, when it is finally approved and comes into force, It could mean the filing of dozens of cases opened in the National Court, like that of Tibet.
