In today's podcast, a court in Inner Mongolia reopens a rape and murder case which ended 18 years ago amidcontinued outcry that the original verdict was unfair
在今天播报中，关于这起强奸杀人案在内蒙古法院重新开庭，这起案件在18年前已经宣判，然而最初的判罚引起了轩然大波。
The High Court in the northern region of Inner Mongolia said on November 20 that the 1996 case involving an ethnically Mongolian man named Qoysiletu, who was found guilty of the crimes, will be reexamined. Qoysiletu, then 18, was convicted on May 23, 1996, for raping and killing a woman at a textile plant in Hohhot. He insisted he was innocent, but was executed on June 10, 62 days after the murder. Nine years later, the capture of a serial rapist and murderer, Zhao Zhihong, led many to believe that the sentencing of Qoysiletu was unjust. Zhao confessed to a series of rapes and murders, including the 1996 one in Hohhot, putting Qoysiletu's case in the spotlight again. Although later official reviews concluded that Qoysiletu's conviction lacked evidence and was likely an injustice, the case was never formally retried. Police got a confession from Qoysiletu after 48 hours of interrogation, and that became the basis of his conviction. The reports said Qoysiletu, who worked a local cigarette factory, reported the case to police together with a colleague named Yan Feng. An investigator said Qoysiletu's case was not reopened sooner partly because of resistance from people involved in the initial investigation.
内蒙古高等法院在11月20日称1996年的这起案件将要重新审理，当时判定呼格吉勒有罪。1996年5月23日，18岁的呼格吉勒因在呼和浩特的纺织厂中奸杀一名女性而执行了死刑。他坚持自己是无罪的，但是还是在案件发生的62天后，6月10日执行了死刑判决。9年之后，警方抓住了系列杀人，强奸犯赵志红，人们一致认为对呼格吉勒是不公正的。赵坦白了一系列强奸和杀人案，包括1996年在呼和浩特的一起案件，这让呼格吉勒案件重新回到了人们的视野之中。尽管之后官方称呼格吉勒的罪行缺少证据，并很有可能是一次不公正的判罚，但是并没有再一次进行审判。警方在抓获呼格吉勒的48小时之内拿到了他犯罪的证据，这也是他被判有罪的基础。报道称呼格吉勒曾经在当地的烟草工厂工作，他与一名叫作岩峰的同事一起报了案。调查员称当时这起案件没有进行重新审理，部分原因是由于起初参与案件调查人员的抵制。
