China Sentences Ex-presidential Aide To Life For Corruption by suyamasta(m): 10:09am On Jul 04, 2016 |
Former deputy head of China's national political advisory body Ling Jihua was sentenced to life imprisonment on Monday for taking bribes, illegally obtaining state secrets and abuse of power. Ling accepted bribes totalling over 77.08 million yuan (11.6 million U.S. dollars) personally and through his family, according to the first-instance ruling by the First Intermediate People's Court of Tianjin. He pled guilty and decided not to appeal, the court said. Ling was vice chairman of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and head of the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, before an announcement at the end of 2014 that he was under investigation. "I accept all the charges and submit to the judgement," Ling said in his final statement. "Today's trial will be engraved in my memory." He said the trial was "solemn, meticulous, rational and civilized," embodying a combination of rule of law and humanitarian treatment. "I sincerely thank the court, the procuratorate and [my] two attorneys," Ling said. Source:http://english.cri.cn/12394/2016/07/04/3521s933030.htm

Hear him "I accept all the charges and submit to the judgement," Ling said in his final statement. He was even thanking the court that sentenced him to life in prison. And I'm cock-sure nobody will mobilize any protest on his behalf, saying 'He's our son, stop persecuting him'. May Nigerians be truly free from this blindfold of ethnicity. Now is the golden time to break free. 2 Likes |

MrDavidson: The people who defend corrupt people are in a bad SPIRITUAL state. They can't even help it. It is a mixture of ethnicity and maudlin sentimentality for Jonathan. They know the man and his people are guilty as he'll, he even admitted all in his closing speech but because the black man is sentimental, immature, soft, lazy, cowardly, irresolute and primitive, there is a lack of appreciation for hard acts necessary to clean up a system. 90 percent of these people would join a crowd to burn in the streets a teenager caught for stealing a few hundred naira but for a man who swore to defend the law and stole they would waste sympathy and emotion. That is the FLESH lusting against SPIRIT. 1 Like |
