as soon as possible concerning the extradition of the smuggling suspect Huang Haiyong or Wong Ho
Wing from Peru to China.”48
100. The December 8, 2009 “Decision Pledging Not to Sentence Huan Haiyong or Wong Ho
Wing to the death penalty” delivered by the People’s Supreme Court of the People’s Republic of China,
addressed to the Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China, states the following:
If extradition from Peru to China is granted, should Huang Haiyong or Wong Ho Wing be found
guilty through prosecution in the Court, the Court will not order the Death Penalty (including
immediate execution of the Death Penalty and a temporary two-year stay thereof) for Huang
49
Haiyong or Wong Ho Wing, even if by law his crime carries the death penalty.
101. On January 5, 2010, Lima’s 53rd Criminal Court delivered its ruling in the constitutional
habeas corpus petition filed by Luis Lamas Puccio on behalf of Wong Ho Wing, for the alleged violation
of the right to life and the right to personal integrity, and against the justices on the Supreme Court’s
Permanent Criminal Chamber. In that ruling, Lima’s 53rd Criminal Court wrote that:
(…) an important factor to consider is that the petitioner-plaintiff’s habeas corpus petition was
filed to have the extradition request for Mr. Wong Ho Wing declared unfounded and out of
order; that extradition request is now being heard by the Supreme Court’s Second Criminal
Chamber (…)
Lima’s 56th Criminal Court has provided certified copies concerning the habeas corpus petition
(…) which reveal that the habeas corpus petition now before this court has already been
examined and reviewed by another court, which issued a ruling (…)
Furthermore, this constitutional petition of habeas corpus, which is arguing violation of
constitutionally protected rights, cannot be used to limit the functions and/or authorities that
the Organic Law of the Judicial Branch has conferred upon the judges; the violations it is claiming
have not materialized since a competent authority, in exercise of his functions, has issued a duly
substantiated decision (…) to accept the plaintiff’s argument would be to render meaningless,
irrelevant, without force, power or effect the authority that judges have to exercise criminal
action, thereby violating the rights and authorities of judges (…) the court concludes that the
petitioner’s intent is to get an outside court to disrupt the normal development of the regular
proceedings conducted (…) this petition must be declared out of order under article five of the
50
Code of Constitutional Procedure.
102. On January 27, 2010, the Supreme Court’s Permanent Criminal Chamber issued a new
advisory decision declaring the request to extradite Chinese citizen Wong Ho Wing to be in order. In that
advisory decision, and after receiving the technical opinion regarding the legality or illegality of the
request, the Chamber stated that the delays that occurred in processing the extradition request were
due to the fact that the requesting State did not act promptly to provide “the documents necessary to
be able to reach a decision on the request”, documents that were essential to prevent violation “of the
supranational system pertaining to international agreements that govern observance and enforcement
