英文版 據報導，老撾當局自 2023 年 7 月 28 日起逮捕並拘留了著名的中國人權律師盧思位。我們對盧律師面臨被強制遣返中國，並很可能因而受到酷刑和其他虐待，表示嚴重關切。 多個東南亞國家經常受壓，被迫將弱勢群體強行遣返中國，並因此面臨任意拘留、不公平審判、酷刑和其他虐待等風險。各地人權團體有衆多相關紀錄，從 2009 年維吾爾人從柬埔寨被強制遣返，到 2022 年 8 月中國民主活動家董廣平從越南失踪，後被發現遭受中國拘留。書商桂民海2015年在泰國失踪後，其後在中國露面，卻無法出示護照。事實上這些人都經歷了長時間的強迫失踪，其家人和同事往往要在多個月或甚或多年後才能取得他們的信息。 我們敦促第三方政府： 要求老撾當局立即停止遣返盧思位，並迅速採取行動，確保他能夠接觸聯合國人員和他選擇的律師；並 公開呼籲中國當局撤銷針對盧思位的任何潛在指控。 老撾政府一旦將盧思位移交給中國當局，即意味將盧置於遭受酷刑和非人道待遇的嚴重風險。聯合國人權專家已多次指出，中國政府經常對人權捍衛者和律師施以酷刑和非人道待遇。[1] 根據國際習慣法，並自 2012 年 9 月起作為《聯合國禁止酷刑和其他殘忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或處罰公約》(CAT) 的締約國，老撾人民民主共和國政府負有《禁止酷刑公約》第 3 條規定的不驅回義務，不將任何人遣返他極有可能遭受酷刑的國家。 我們敦促老撾政府： 根據國際人權義務，立即中止遣返盧思位的一切程序並釋放他； 安排他會見聯合國有關官員和他自己選擇的律師； 根據需要允許他會見美國和其他國家的外交官員，幫助他繼續前往美國與家人團聚的旅程；以及 在上述情況得到實踐之前，公開其所在，並確保其人身安全和身心健康。 盧思位是中國著名的人權律師和捍衛者，為弱勢群體發聲，並曾代表眾多政治異見人士。中國當局近年對權利倡導越來越不容忍，他們對盧律師進行恐嚇和騷擾，包括於 2021 年 1 月以其網上言論涉嫌“危害國家安全”為借口，吊銷其律師資格。盧律師更在前往相關聽證會途中，遭到襲擊。此後，盧思位一直受到中國當局的密切監控，並自2021年5月起被禁制出境。 據了解，盧思位律師是次過境老撾，是要前往美國與家人團聚。 [1] E/C.12/CHN/CO/3, 经济、社会及文化权利委员会 关于中国(包括中国香港和中国澳门) 第三次定期报告的结论 性意见, 2023年3月22日；CAT/C/CHN/CO/5 禁止酷刑委员会 关于中国第五次定期报告的结论性意见*， 2016年2月3日
