NORTHERN IRELAND. KILLER FACES EXECUTION IF DEPORTED ARGUES QC
October 4, 2007: a Chinese man who stabbed a fellow illegal immigrant to death in south Belfast, Northern Ireland, in March 2005 faces execution if deported, the Court of Appeal was told.
Huan Wang, 36, has finished a five year sentence for the manslaughter of his former workmate in the Abacus restaurant but is still being held in Maghaberry Prison as he battles against a judge's recommendation that he should be returned to China.
Frank O'Donoghue QC said Huan faced a significant risk of death, torture or inhuman and degrading treatment as China can investigate crimes committed by its citizens in another country. The lord chief justice, Sir Brian Kerr, sitting with Lord Justice Campbell and Mr Justice Morgan reserved their judgement. (Sources: Irish News, 05/10/2007)
