【禁聞】民選村長遭砍殺 村官選舉被操控

【新唐人2011年4月21日訊】廣東和山東正在進行村委換屆，而中國各地也相繼爆出了所謂“中國特色”的選舉，比如過程中，有的幾分鐘搞定——走形式；有的被官方操控結果；有的賄選。更令人驚奇的是，民間歡迎的當選幹部被黑社會追殺。專家指出，由於法律和執政者不保護選舉的公正性，農村選舉只是假民主的過場。

大陸農村選舉問題多多，山東先是暴出山東牟平農村最牛選舉——五分鐘搞定，後又暴出高票當選的山東省榮成市東山村村委會主任畢重江，在家中被歹徒瘋狂砍殺二十多刀。有村民說，畢重江是東山村上訪維權的骨幹。

而廣東順德最近也進行了村委會選舉投票，其中幾個村的維權力量沒能勝出，而由政府和黨委推選的候選人上任。村民表示不滿。村民維權代表認為，政府在基層選舉中有明顯的偏向，排斥民選代表參選，以及在程序上做手腳。現在各村莊的維權力量聯手，要進行抵抗。                                  

選舉專家姚立法認為，現在的農村村委會選舉有很大問題，一是「沒有法律規範」，也就是，政府組織選舉的機構，如果侵犯或剝奪農民的選舉權和被選舉權時，沒有法律條文約束。另一個問題是，選舉被少數人或黑社會操控，暗箱操作，致使選舉缺乏公正、透明，更沒有任何監督。

姚立法（前湖北潛江市人大代表）：“選舉的話，就是它不按程序來，正因為它不按程序來，更缺乏公正、透明，因為他暗箱操作！暗箱操作你怎麼監督？它不是在選民面前，在大庭廣眾下這樣進行的選舉。目前中國的選舉非常糟糕，只有形式、只有過場，沒有實質，我們的農民成了假民主的裝飾品。”

去年底的「樂清案」，為民維權的錢雲會付出了生命代價。對於受歡迎的民選代表當選後不斷受到打壓、追殺的現實，姚立法表示，老百姓擁護的人當選了村幹部，這直接觸犯了當地黑社會和利益團體的利益，他們就瘋狂報復、打壓，就是想否定選舉的結果。

姚立法：“為甚麼出現這種情況？就是法律不保障選舉的公正，而且社會特別是執政當局，它不保障選舉的公正----一個是法律上的問題，一個是基層執政的當局，他們不保護公正，甚至它們成了邪惡勢力的保護傘，當然才出現這種情況。”

姚立法從1987年開始，先後四次自我推薦參選湖北潛江市人大代表，最終當選，當選人大代表後，姚立法自費印刷《誰當村官　村民說了算》等小冊子免費派發給農民，並組織農民學習《選舉法》和自薦人大代表的細節等。

2004年9月，姚立法接受美國國務院邀請，觀摩美國總統大選。他的傳奇故事與他在任時揭露的冤案，和當局非法操作選舉等事件，被改寫成《我反對：一個人大代表的參政傳奇》一書。

姚立法認為，基層選出的「非公正民選」代表，再參與更高層的選舉，同樣失去了公正合法的基礎。因此他說：“中國沒有實實在在的選舉，只有假民主的形式、假民主的過場。”

China's Pseudo Village Elections

Village elections with Chinese characteristics

are taking place at present in many parts of China.

Some elections took only 5 minutes, others

were controlled by authorities, and some were even

bought with money. More surprisingly

people』s favorite officials are being hunted down

by the underworld. Because law and authorities

are not interested in maintaining elections』 fairness,

village elections are only a pseudo democracy.

Village elections in China have many problems;

the most absurd election in Shandong

took 5 minutes to complete the process.

In another village, the winner was stabbed

more than 20 times at home. Some said

that he was the backbone of human rights.

In Guangdong, several villages』 rights candidate

did not win, and the authority-backed candidates

took offices. From the base level, local authorities

are biased against people』s representatives

and they manipulate the process.

Now many villages want to join forces to protest.

Election expert Yao Lifa believes that in rural areas,

serious problems exist. One is “No Laws,”

or ifs official organizations deprive citizens of their

voting rights, there is no law to restrain them.

Another problem is that the elections are controlled

by a few people or the underworld. As a result,

elections lack fairness, transparency and supervision.

Yao Lifa (ex-member of Hubei People's Congress):

"When an election does not follow the procedure,

it will not be fair and transparent.

How do you monitor a secret operation?

It does not act before the voters or the public eye.

Current elections in China are terrible;

they have formalities and go through steps

but have no substance. Our farmers

are just window dressings for pseudo democracy.”

In last year』s “Yue Qing incident,” he gave his life

for right activist Qian Yunhui. As for the popular

candidates, after being elected they suffer

from suppression and life threatenings. Yao said

that when popular candidates become officials,

this interferes with interests of the underworld,

thus, revenge and suppression are on their way

to deny the outcomes of the elections.

Yao Lifa (ex-member of Hubei People's Congress):

"Why is this happening? That is when the law,

especially the ruling authorities, do not guarantee

the impartiality of an election - fist it questions

the law, and second it is about the low level

authorities, they do not want to guarantee fairness.

When they fail to protect the just,

they become the umbrella of the evil forces.”

Since 1987 Yao was four times self-recommended

candidate as a member of Hubei People』s Congress,

and ultimately elected. He educated farmers with

his pamphlets: “Villagers have the final say who

the officials should be.” Meanwhile he also

organized farmers to learn the election law

and how to become a self-recommended

member of the People's Congress.

On September 2004 Yao Lifa accepted an invitation

from the U.S. State Department to observe a U.S.

presidential election. His legends and the injustice

he exposed with illegal dealings in China's elections

were all being written in his book “I Oppose:

A Legend of A Member of People』s Congress.”

Yao thinks the representatives who are elected

by unfair means from a low level also lose

their legitimacy for the next elections.

Therefore, there is no real elections in China,

only pseudo democracy in various forms and shapes.
