SHANGHAI: Sun Zhongjie could not contain his tears yesterday when he learned an investigation had proved his innocence - two weeks after he chopped off his finger to protest police claims he was the driver of an illegal cab. "I'm happy," sobbed the 19-year-old from Henan province after he received the apology from Shanghai City Administration and Law Enforcement Bureau for Pudong New Area District. In addition, Sun was told he will be compensated for his ordeal. Jiang Liang, the head of Pudong district, said at a press conference that police adopted "improper methods" in evidence collection when they snared Sun on Oct 14.
Jiang said officers had paid a man to act as bait and entrap Sun, something that is illegal in China but a practice critics believe is widespread. Jiang added that the findings of an investigation, which ended on Oct 20, conducted by Shanghai City Administration and Law Enforcement Bureau for Pudong New Area District, reached the wrong conclusion. That probe had claimed Sun was guilty and said the enforcement team had done nothing wrong. Jiang said the government also wanted to apologize to the public for the incident.
"People who are responsible for illegal law enforcement and for the false investigation will be punished according to the law," Jiang said. "The Pudong New Area district government will learn a lesson from the incident and regulate law enforcement against illegal cab operations." Sun, who had arrived in Shanghai two days earlier, was stopped on Oct 14 by a man begging for a lift.
Three minutes later, he was cornered by traffic law enforcement police and accused of operating an unlicensed taxi. Sun vehemently denied taking money from the man and severed his finger as a demonstration of his frustration and innocence. Huang Hong, a senior official with the Pudong district government, confirmed that the man picked up by Sun - Chen Xiongjie - was on the payroll of the traffic law enforcement team and had been used by police as bait.
"Chen provided a false affidavit and denied the fact that he had previously engaged in illegal law enforcement," Huang said. Also yesterday morning, Minhang district government announced it had withdrawn a penalty against Zhang Hui, who was fined 10,000 yuan ($1,470) in September for "operating an unlicensed taxi". Zhang was stopped on Sept 8 by a man claiming to have severe stomach pain. The man said he could not find a taxi and needed to get to hospital.
Five minutes later, Zhang's car was stopped by law enforcement staff and he was accused of operating a "black taxi". Hao Jinsong, a lawyer representing both Sun Zhongjie and Zhang Hui, urged the government to investigate illegal law enforcement practices used to crack down on unlicensed taxi operators. "Since the two incidents in Shanghai were reported, I have been receiving letters and calls from across the country from people telling me they were also trapped," he said. "It is estimated that several thousand drivers in Shanghai are trapped every year during police crackdowns against 'black taxis'." The lawyer called on all 18 districts in Shanghai to investigate illegal law enforcement.
Jiang Liang admitted yesterday that Sun's case was not the only instance of illegal traffic law enforcement uncovered to date. Shanghai municipal government announced yesterday it had set up a new team to regulate public transportation and raid illegal traffic law enforcement operations. It will be led by a vice-mayor.
昨天，因两周前抗议警方非法出租车营运的指控而切掉自己手指的孙中界，在获知自己被证明是清白后激动的不能控制自己的眼泪。
“我很高兴” 这位19岁的河南小伙在接受上海市浦东新区城市管理执法局的道歉后抽泣着说。
另外，孙还获知政府将赔偿他因此遭受的损失。
浦东新区区长姜墚在一个新闻发布会上说，警方在10月14日的执法中使用了“不正当方法”进行取证。
他说，交警收买了一个人做为诱饵从而陷害孙，这在我国是非法的。而批评人士认为，这种做法在我国非常普遍。
姜还说，浦东新区城市管理执法局在10月20日得出的调查结论是错误的。这份调查结果声称孙涉嫌非法营运，执法局的做法没有不妥。
政府为该事件向公众道歉，姜区长说。
“涉嫌不正当执法以及虚假调查的负责人将被依法处理”， 姜区长说，“浦东新区会从该事件中吸取教训并整治非法出租营运的执法工作”
10月14日，两天前刚来上海的孙中界被一个人截住，该人恳求孙载他一程。而三分钟后，孙被交通执法警察围住，并被指控涉嫌无照出租车营运。
孙坚决否认收取了所载乘客的钱款，并切掉手指以表明自己的愤怒和清白。
浦东新区政府的一位高级官员，黄宏证实孙所载的名为陈雄杰的乘客是受交通执法局雇佣并充当警方的诱饵。
他说，“陈提供了虚假证词并否认此前参与过非法执法”
同样是在昨天早上，闵行区政府宣布取消对张慧，另一位在九月份因涉嫌“无照出租营运”的司机而被罚款10000元的处罚。
9月8日，张被一个称自己胃部剧烈疼痛的男子截住，该人称打不到出租车并且急需赶到医院。5分钟后，张的车被交通执法人员截住并被指控涉嫌“开黑车”
孙中界和张慧的代理律师郝劲松敦促政府针对打击无照出租车营运的不正当执法做法展开调查。
“自从这两个事件在上海被报道后，我收到了来自全国各地的人发来的信件或打来电话，这些人都称自己也被陷害过”，郝律师说，“据估计，仅上海一地，每年在警方打击‘黑出租’的行动中遭到陷害的司机就有数千人”
郝律师呼吁上海18个区都要对不正当执法进行调查。
姜墚昨天也承认，孙中界一案并不是迄今为止被曝光的非法交通执法的唯一一例。
上海市政府昨天表示已经成立了一个由一位副市长领导的新的小组来规范公共交通和打击非法交通执法。

Michael Jackson[麥可傑克森]心臟驟停過世
巨星隕落 娛樂圈哀悼麥可傑克森驟逝
美國流行樂壇天王麥可傑克森（Michael Jackson）25日去世，娛樂圈在震驚中紛紛表達對他的衷心悼念。
在麥可傑克森傳出驟逝消息後，曾和他合作過許多暢銷音樂的知名製作人昆西瓊斯(Quincy Jones)，在接受美國國家廣播公司(NBC)訪問時表示，他感到極度震驚，不知道該說什麼。
昆西瓊斯說，神讓他們的靈魂結合一起，在80年代盡情的發揮創作，直到今天麥可傑克森的音樂在全球每個角落播放，原因就因為他是全方位的藝人，才能、魅力和專業。昆西瓊斯說，他在這一天失去了這個弟弟，而他的部份靈魂也隨麥可而去。
加州州長阿諾史瓦辛格(Arnold Schwarzegger)也發表聲明，為痛失音樂界最具影響力的指標性人物之一的麥可傑克森表示哀悼。
阿諾表示，有關麥可傑克森的個人生活有著嚴重的問題，但他和妻子瑪麗亞與全加州人同在 共同對麥可傑克森的離去表達震驚和哀痛，並向他的家人、孩子與他在全球的歌迷致意。
當麥可去世的快訊傳出時，美國影星吉米福克斯(Jamie Foxx)正在錄「Extra」電視節目，他希望世人能記得麥可是一位傑出的音樂人，而非他人生後來發生的那些事情。
除了娛樂圈以外，著名的自行車手藍斯．阿姆斯壯(Lance Armstrong)，也在他的微網誌推特(Twitter)上，表達他對麥可和女星法拉佛西死亡的哀痛。七度拿下環法自行車賽冠軍的阿姆斯壯形容這是恐怖的消息，他也向這兩位的友人、支持者和家人致哀。
另外，英國外相米勒班也在推特上表示對這位巨星的哀悼之意。

Michael Jackson Dead at 50 this morning
From : LA Times (Updating)
Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead today after paramedics found him in a coma at his Bel-Air mansion, city and law enforcement sources told The Times.
Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Steve Ruda told The Times that paramedics responded to a 911 call from the home. When they arrived, Jackson was not breathing.
The paramedics performed CPR and took Jackson to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda said. Hundreds of reporters gathered at the hospital awaiting word on his condition. The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said family members rushed to Jackson’s bedside, where he was in a deep coma.
The circumstances of Jackson’s death remain unclear. Law enforcement sources said that Los Angeles Police Department robbery-homicide detectives have opened an investigation into the death, though they stressed that there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
The detectives plan to interview relatives, friends and Jackson’s doctors to try to figure out what happened. The L.A. County coroner’s office will determine a cause of death. A Los Angeles Fire Department source told The Times that Jackson was in full cardiac arrest when rescue units arrived.
A doctor was in the house performing CPR on Jackson, said the source who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Paramedics were called to a home in the 100 block of Carolwood Drive off Sunset Boulevard.
Jackson rented the Bel-Air home -- described as a French chateau built in 2002 with seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces and a theater -- for $100,000 a month. The home is about a six-minute drive from UCLA Medical Center. Jackson has three children -- sons Prince Michael 7, and Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., 12, and daughter Paris Michael Katherine, 11.
Jackson, 50, died as he was attempting a comeback after years of tabloid headlines, most notably his trial and acquittal on child molestation charges.
In May, The Times reported that Jackson had rented the Bel-Air residence and was rehearsing for a series of 50 sold-out shows in London's O2 Arena. Jackson had won the backing of two billionaires to get the so-called "King of Pop" back on stage.
His backers envisioned the shows at AEG's O2 as an audition for a career rebirth that could have ultimately encompassed a three-year world tour, a new album, movies, a Graceland-like museum, musical revues in Las Vegas and Macau, and even a "Thriller" casino. Such a rebound could have wiped out Jackson's massive debt.
