Kina henretter burmesisk narkokonge på Live TV
(Alle links er på engelsk, medmindre andet er angivet)
D.1 Marts, 2013 blev Naw Kham, den burmesiske leder af en stor gruppe af narkosmuglere i det berygtede ‘Gyldne Trekants’-område i Sydøstasiens fastland, henrettet ved dødelig indsprøjtning i Kunming, Kina. Selvom han ikke var så kendt før sin død, blev hans liv omgående et populært emne i Myanmar efter hans henrettelse.
Flere burmesiske Facebook-brugere var frustrerede over at opdage, at de kinesiske mediestationer viste henrettelsen på Live TV.
Khin Khin Oo skriver[my]:
Broadcast the execution? What an inhumane thing!

Than Thar Win, en kendt lokal sanger, kritiserede[my] også udsendelsen af henrettelsen:
It's acceptable to punish a criminal. But I think broadcasting the execution process live by some Chinese channels should not have happened.
Khin Zarny Htut tilføjede[my]:
Being guilty is being guilty. But as a human being.,I feel a bit sad for such lethal execution.
Der er også de, der giver Myanmars regering skylden for ikke at have bedt om fangeudveksling med Kina. La Yeik Cho sagde[my]:
Our government should ask for criminal transfer. Why did they leave Naw Kham's fate in China's hand?
En anden Facebook-bruger, Nay Min Kha, sammenlignede[my] situationen med udenlandske kriminelle i Myanmar og burmesiske fanger i andre lande:
We have been releasing those (foreigners) who committed crimes in Myanmar easily. I do not hear any similar treatment for Myanmar citizens who are detained abroad. In fact, even if Naw Kham committed crimes, he should be sentenced to death only in Myanmar. […]
Nat Tar Gay mener[my], at kinesiske statsborgere, der bliver fundet skyldige i stor kriminalitet i Myanmar, burde blive overført til Kina:
Regardless of the type of charges, the criminals should be transferred to mother nation and charged against law in one's own country. It is very sure that Myanmar government would transfer him (to China) if he were a Chinese national.
På den anden side påpegede andre internetbrugere, at der ingen forskel er på henrettelser i Myanmar og i Kina. Ei Maung postede en kort besked, der forklarede, hvorfor regeringen i Myanmar gjorde det rette ved ikke at bede om fangeoverførsel i sagen om Naw kham:
It's true that a nation must protect its citizens. And yes, Vienna convention suggested nations to transfer prisoners as showing respect.
But, it's crazy to say Myanmar government should request the transfer of a drug king. Are those people out of their mind? […] Not transferring a mass murderer or drug king is nowhere near disrespecting. They have their “national security” to concern over respect in those cases.[…]
“Don't make ridiculous conclusion” just because you don't like the government. Even if Myanmar government makes such request, China is unlikely to agree and, such rejection would “unnecessarily affect the relationship”. Government is doing the right thing…
Det er sandt, at en nation skal beskytte dens borgere. Og ja, Wienerkonventionen foreslog nationer at overføre fanger som et tegn på respekt.
Men det er skørt at sige, at regeringen i Myanmar burde bede om overførslen af en narkokonge. Er de mennesker sindssyge? […] Ikke at overføre en massemorder eller narkokonge er på ingen måde respektløst. De har deres ‘nationale sikkerhed’ at tage hensyn til over respekt i de sager. […]
“Nå ikke en latterlig konklusion”, bare fordi du ikke kan lide regeringen. Selv hvis regeringen i Myanmar kommer med en sådan forespørgsel, er det ikke sandsynligt, at Kina vil være enig, og en sådan afvisning ville unødvendigt skade forholdet [mellem landende]. Regeringen gør det rette…
Winston Compunuts nævnte at der ingen udleveringsaftale foreligger mellem regeringerne i Kina og Myanmar:
In order for prisoner exchange or extradition to take effect, there needs to have agreements for it between such nations. Geneva convention only guarantees humane treatment and access to fair representation (even that definition widely varies in different countries). Extradition treaties must first exist before the arrest occurred. As far as I know, there is no such agreement between China and Burma. I think the Burmese government was right NOT to pursue it since it's highly unlikely to be successful and why waste tax dollars on something unwarranted. There are cases when even a superpower like the United States couldn't even save their citizens or bring them home to serve their prison sentence.
Hkam Awngs korte afklaring [my] om Naw Khams situation blev viral:
He is someone who became a wanted person in Myanmar, Laos and Thailand after he implemented his drug route from Myanmar to Laos, then to Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong and China. […] Finally, it reached over the limit of patience of four countries (Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and China) after he hijacked a Chinese ship, killed the sailors and threw the dead bodies into the river. […] To be able to cooperate for drug trafficking, such countries signed the 1988 UN Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drug and Psychotropic Substances but Myanmar did it with exception for the article of criminal exchange. That is why Myanmar government never transferred Khun Sa and other ‘Wa‘ leaders who had been charged by US. […] Anyway, I'm also against the capital punishment and death penalty. […]
Den 2. marts, 2013, fyldte burmesiske netbrugere den kinesiske ambassades Facebook-side med R.I.P [hvil i fred] -beskeder til Naw Kham.
