Innocent man鈥檚 family seeks US$2m compensation
Print Edition
THE family of a man executed after being wrongly convicted of murder and rape yesterday submitted an application for 13.91 million yuan (US$2 million) in state compensation.
Nie Shubin was 21 when he was executed after being found guilty in 1995 of the rape and murder of a woman on the outskirts of Shijiazhuang, capital of north China’s Hebei Province.
The application was handed to the Higher People’s Court in the province.
Earlier this month, the Supreme People’s Court acquitted Nie, ruling that his conviction was based on insufficient evidence and unclear facts.
The amount the family is seeking comprises 12 million yuan for mental anguish, over 1.26 million yuan for Nie’s death and funeral expenses, and the 600,000 yuan the family spent on their efforts to overturn the verdict.
The family also requested that those who made the initial wrong conviction send it a letter of apology and also apologize in the media.
Nie’s case reemerged in 2005 when another man, Wang Shujin, confessed to the crime Nie was convicted of. Wang, 49, was given a death sentence in unconnected rape and murder cases.
In December 2014, the Supreme People’s Court assigned the higher court of Shandong Province to review the case. It found Nie’s trial had raised too many questions.
