Fiji President Issues Decree that the Human Rights Commission Cannot Investigate Any Abrogation of the Fiji Constitution
Fiji’s President Ratu Josefa Iloilo promulgated Human Rights Commission Decree 2009 on May 20, 2009. Under the new decree, the Human Rights Commission cannot investigate any complaints relating to the April 10 revocation of 1997 Constitution, nor investigate any decision by a court of law.

“Any proceedings of any form whatsoever, as well as any application of any form whatsoever in a proceeding, seeking to challenge the validity or legality of the Fiji Constitution Amendment Act 1997 Revocation Decree 2009 (Decree No.1) or any other Decrees made by the President from 10 April 2009 or as may be made by the President, shall wholly terminate immediately upon the commencement of this

Astounding unjustified murder case
Request for fair legal help

Dear Sir or Madam:


We are Gao Disen and Hou Xiaoxia, the parents of the victim Gao Baiou, from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China. Our son Baiou Gao was cruelly murdered in Rome, Italy, on July 28, 2006. Our son, who was born on December 7, 1975, held a legal Italian residence card.

After Gao Baiou’s case, Tao Tugen and some other officials of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China who were in charge of the case, in coordination with Zhu Jun etc (Zhu Jun, Chinese, Roman Guang Yu Trade Company, the ringleader of the Chinese Mafia-style organizations in Rome), concealed the real cause of the death. They have deliberately disobeyed the constitution, law and consular protection statute of both China and Italy. Their deeds are totally against ‘the Declaration of the Rights of Man’ and ‘Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims’ of the United Nations. By abusing their authority, the rights and interests of the relatives of the victim that the law gives were totally deprived. In this way, the planned and premeditated Gao Baiou murder case, which was also unjustly and falsely judged, was made in the Roman Criminal Court.

After our son Gao Baiou was murdered, Roman police informed the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China about the accident of Gao Baiou, whereas Tao Tugen and other officials didn’t notify us kinsfolk about the murder case of Gao Baiou, and said nothing of assisting us kinsfolk of Gao Baiou. Instead, they took advantage of loopholes in visa laws, maliciously made excuses, and obstructed us going to Italy to find out the real cause of Gao Baiou’s death. At last, we were denied visas without any just reason. Additionally, after Gao Baiou’s death, they quickly controlled, threatened and interrupted those Chinese who knew about the case. As a result, those Chinese tried to avoid meeting us, not daring to speak out the fact. Zhu Jun and others used threats of violence against our Italian relatives Zhu Haihui and Li Weiguo to cause them to leave Rome for China shortly after the murder case happened, ie early August of 2006, and not to meet us. Additionally, they blockaded all of the information relevant to the case, no public news report, and made malicious false reports, hiding the truth in making reports. Just after Gao Baiou’s accident, Zhu Jun and others immediately started to spread rumors everywhere. Without any evidence, they made a conclusion for the case in advance. The conclusion was as follows: Gao Baiou’s death had nothing to do with any other people, which obstructed the investigation and made it impossible to promptly find out the true cause of death.Our requests for details of the case, and for contact information of people who could help were totally refused and ignored by them.

Since we were denied visas without any just reason, Tao Tugen and Zhu Jun etc forged our signatures on a standing order in the Roman Criminal Court. They bribed two fake witnesses, and asked two Chinese impostors to appear in Roman Criminal Court instead of us. The public procurator Cavallone accepted the forged standing order. collaborating with one another, a crime group was formed. In the mean time, as the kinsfolk of Gao Baiou, we knew nothing about the case or the judicial procedure. In fact, in November,2006, we were in China, so it was impossible for us to appear in the Roman Criminal Court and sign documents there. Our passports can be used as a testimonial. If we want to mail our standing order, we would have to go through the following procedure: first go through Shaoxing notary office; second, to be approved by Foreign Affairs Office of Zhejiang province; third, to be approved by the consular office of Italy in Shanghai. All of the above procedures are regular and lawful formalities, which also can be checked. At present, we have hard evidence that the standing order was forged.

Since we were denied visas without any just reason, during the period of October to December, 2006, we wrote several letters in regards to our suspicions about Zhu Jun etc in Chinese and Italian. We requested that the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Rome turn over our letters to the Roman Police. However, Tao Tugen and other officials refused to turn over our letters to the police. Their excuse was that it would influence the fairness of the judicial procedure. Unfortunately, the content of the letter was revealed to the suspicious criminals Zhu Jun etc by some officials of the Embassy.

Since we were denied visas without any just reason, we all but begged the Embassy to tell us the price and relevant formalities for carrying Gao Baiou’s remains back to China. But Tao Tugen and other officials just ignored our request. Then suddenly on November 30,2006, Li Weiguo called us and told us that Gao Baiou’s remains had been disposed of without informing us Gao Baiou’s family members. As the remains were important evidence of the whole case, the murderer was very afraid of keeping Gao Baiou’s remains intact. In order to cover their guilt, they forged a standing order, and then destroyed the remains.

Since we were denied visas without any justified reason, we repeatedly requested the embassy to recommend lawyers and translators to us. However, our requests were all denied by Tao Tugen and other officials. Moreover, when we were contentedly trying to contact Italian lawyers to find out the true cause of the case, they utmostly obstructed us in our efforts. At last, our lawyer was forced to give up investigating the case. All of the judicial documents were illegally acquired and withheld by them, until now, which still haven’t been given to us. Our loving son Gao Baiou was murdered, unexpectedly without any judicial documents, without any investigation report of the accident from the Police Station, without the real death identification report from a legal medical expert, without any conclusive report of the accident, without notifying the relatives of the victim. Using their position, bribing and forging, Tao Tugen and Zhu Jun etc made false phenomenon of the accident! What kind of evil deeds are they going to cover?

After the death of Gao Baiou, his company, property and other expensive and valuable items were looted completely.

Tao Tugen and others attributed all responsibilities of their illegal deeds to Italian government, denying all knowledge of the event. No legal basis, no factual ground, their deeds were totally without reason.

At ten o’clock on April 22, 2008, the chief official Zhao Haihan who was in charge of Gao Baiou’s case of the Department of Consular Affairs of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, asked us on the phone to write an appeal letter and translate it into Italian, following which the Chinese Foreign Ministry would help us turn it over to the judicial authority of Italy, so that the death of Gao Baiou would be reinvestigated. In the meantime, we were requested not to write anything about the illegall deeds of the Embassy officials. On May 12, 2008, at the East Reception Room(DongMen JieDaiShi) of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, we handed in our appeal letters to Zhao Hanhai requesting him to turn them over to Italian Procuratorate. Until now, seven months have past, we still haven’t got any news, not even the contact number of Italian procuratorate.

Italian judicial principles are as follows: First, party or persons involved are equal; Second, judgments are to be made public; Third, the principles of directness in verbalization; Fourth, the principle of pretrial procedure; Fifth, basic standards for fair and justified treatment as stated in the international treaty are as follows: 1) Everyone is equal before the court and the judge; 2) At the time of judgement, with regards to the criminal charges raised by anybody, or with regards to confirming one’s rights and duties in a case, everybody is qualified to have a just and open judicial trial in a legitimate, independent and fair court; 3) The victim has the right to be informed of the feature and reasons of the case; 4) allow enough time for participants to choose their own lawyer, prepare their own defence and formulate their pleas; 5) the principle of ensuring the rights of the involved parties or persons; 6) free help from translators should be available; 7) Time of judgment should not be delayed without reason; 8) In the event of a misjudged case, one has the right to a retrial and compensation.

Tao Tugen and other officials of Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Rome, Italy, colluded with Zhu Jun, procurator Cavallone, deliberately broke the law, maliciously abused their authority, deprived us of all of our legal rights, which increased our bitterness and humiliation. They show no signs of their basic human conscience and moral. Their deeds are the most cruel Fascist savage act. But they can’t cover their evil deeds.

The above facts and evidence are the truths of the case. We can bear the legal responsibility. Concrete materials and evidence can be provided.

We hope you warm-hearted people can provide lawful assistance to us, uphold justice, and uncover evil deeds.

Many thanks!

Best wishes!

This is a resourceful legal wiki I have came upon so far through search engines. Interesting stories too... today I read an article from that better days ahead for employment growth in the following industries.

Where The Jobs Are

The industries recruiters expect will generate the greatest growth in executive-level job opportunities through the end of 2009 include:

1. Healthcare
2. Clean/Green Technology
3. Energy/Utilities
4. Pharmaceuticals/Medical Devices/ Biotech
5. Environmental Products/Services

Hopefully the legal industry in the Asia market will be on the rise by mid 2010 or even after Chinese New Year of 2010.
