星球视界丨连沙特都废除的鞭刑,为何在一个高度文明的国家盛行
<p style="margin:10px 0px"><p style="margin:10px 0px">沙特日前废除了沿用已久的鞭刑,宣布朝着刑法改革再迈进一步。伴随着人权争议的鞭刑至今仍被广泛应用,在新加坡,鞭刑甚至在刑罚上拥有独一无二的地位。被认为 " 酷刑 " 的鞭刑,为何还能留存至今?</p><strong>鞭刑沙特被废 人权改革向前一步</strong> </p><p style="margin:10px 0px">日前,沙特阿拉伯正式宣布废除鞭刑,这被视为是沙特刑法改革进程向前迈出的重要一步。沙特最高法院在一份文件中强调说,鞭刑正式被废除,改为对犯罪者量罪判刑(进监狱)、罚款或者二者同时使用的惩罚手段。因鞭刑导致受刑者皮开肉绽、体无完肤,沙特已不止一次被国际人权组织点名,沙特最高法院强调,<zkspan

为了他或第三者所作或涉嫌的行为对他加以处罚,……,蓄意使某人在肉体或精神上遭受剧烈疼痛或痛苦的任何行为,而这种疼痛或痛苦是由公职人员或以官方身份行使职权的其他人所造成或在其唆使、同意或默许下造成的。" 这一概念为各国所接受,目前已有 140 多个国家和地区批准和加入这一公约,从中不难看出鞭刑也属于酷刑这一范畴,多数国家也早已废除这一刑罚。</p><p style="margin:10px

倍,当时黑社会帮派活动猖獗是主要原因,鞭刑也顺势成为政府打击犯罪的有力手段。</p><p style="margin:10px 0px"><zkspan class="halfbg_yellow">在</zkspan><zkspan class="halfbg_yellow">新</zkspan><zkspan class="halfbg_yellow">加</zkspan><zkspan
