2014年3月24日凌晨，可以說是台灣民主發展近三十年來最黑暗的一夜。在這一夜裡，全國人民透過各家電視台的現場直播畫面，親眼目睹一個口口聲聲假藉「民主法治之名」，卻赤裸裸行使國家暴力之實的政府，藉由被統治階級當作工具的鎮暴警察們，以超過比例原則的惡劣暴力，對在場成千上萬的國民們，進行難以想像的傷害行為，實令吾等身為義務律師團的成員們，深感忿怒萬千，久久難以自己。

我們在目睹鎮暴警察執法的過程中，手持警棍、盾牌等較人體堅硬之工具，不斷地往手無寸鐵的學生和其他現場民眾之頭部猛擊，導致不少學生或民眾當場血流如注。相信此一畫面，是整夜未睡，守在電視機前看現場直播畫面的您我，永生難忘的噩夢。

根據最高法院43年台上字第109號判例意旨，若行為人於行為之際，手持木棍等工具向被害人頭部猛擊時，主觀上即有殺死被害人之不確定之故意。

是以，這些執法員警在今晨的種種作為，顯有故意殺人之主觀犯意，逾越執法應有之界線，更造成了將近百名的輕重傷者。此種作為，均是接受來自最高行政首長之江宜樺行政院長、警政署王卓鈞署長及現場指揮官方仰寧分局長之直接命令。因此，基於正犯後正犯或共同正犯之刑法論理，本律師團認為無論是江宜樺、王卓鈞、方仰寧之任何一人，均應以正犯或共同正犯，針對不同被害人受傷之部位及情節，分別論以殺人未遂、重傷害、傷害等行為之刑事責任。甚者，就連身為濟世救人之醫護人員，基於醫療誓言，進入現場緊急救治受傷之學生和民眾時，也被鎮暴警察以同樣殘暴之手法，攻擊頭部和身體，令人深感台灣已一步一步邁向警察國家之途。

【律師團聲明】
Statement of the Lawyers Group

2014年3月24日凌晨零時到五時三十分，可以說是台灣民主發展史在近三十年來，最黑暗的一夜。在這一夜裡，全國人民透過各家電視台的現場直播畫面，親眼目睹一個口口聲聲假藉「民主法治之名」，卻赤裸裸行使國家暴力之實的政府，藉由被統治階級當作工具的鎮暴警察們，以超過比例原則的惡劣暴力，對在場成千上萬的國民們，進行難以想像的傷害行為，實令吾等身為義務律師團的成員們，深感忿怒萬千，久久難以自己。
On May 24th, 2014, Taiwan experienced its darkest night ever for nearly 30 years of democratic development. In the late night, through the television and cable media, Taiwanese people witnessed the crude brutality and violence of state power in disguise of rule of law and democracy. The riot police was deployed as an insensible tool by the rulers, causing physical injuries to numerous people with great violence, without abiding by the principle of proportionality. As lawyers from the pro-bono group, we cannot endure this outrage any further.

我們在目睹鎮暴警察執法的過程中，手持警棍、盾牌等較人體堅硬之工具，不斷地往手無寸鐵的學生和其他現場民眾之頭部猛擊，導致不少學生或民眾當場血流如注。相信此一畫面，是整夜未睡，守在電視機前看現場直播畫面的您我，永生難忘的噩夢。
Throughout the dark night, the blood of innocent students and citizens has been shed, their head and body heavily beaten by riot police with the batons and shields. . In front of the TV, we the people of Taiwan have been through a long sleepless night, shocked by this unforgettable nightmare.

根據最高法院43年台上字第109號判例意旨，若行為人於行為之際，手持木棍等工具向被害人頭部猛擊時，主觀上即有殺死被害人之不確定之故意。
According to Supreme Court Precedents Year 1954 - No. 109, at the time of the commission of a criminal conduct, if the actor batters severely on the victims’ head, he/she has dolus indeterminatus (an oblique criminal intent) of homicide.

是以，這些執法員警在今晨的種種作為，顯有故意殺人之主觀犯意，逾越執法應有之界線，更造成了將近百名的輕重傷者。此種作為，均是接受來自最高行政首長之江宜樺行政院長、警政署王卓鈞署長及現場指揮官方仰寧分局長之直接命令。因此，基於正犯後正犯或共同正犯之刑法論理，本律師團認為無論是江宜樺、王卓鈞、方仰寧之任何一人，均應以正犯或共同正犯，針對不同被害人受傷之部位及情節，分別論以殺人未遂、重傷害、傷害等行為之刑事責任。甚者，就連身為濟世救人之醫護人員，基於醫療誓言，進入現場緊急救治受傷之學生和民眾時，也被鎮暴警察以同樣殘暴之手法，攻擊頭部和身體，令人深感台灣已一步一步邁向警察國家之途。
The conducts of thelaw-enforcement officers this morning,were out of the intention of homicide; such conducts crossed over the boundary of law-enforcing work, and led to nearly 100 physical injuries. These conducts were results of the direct orders from the premier Chiang Yi-huah, chief of the National Police Agency Wang Cho-chung and on-site commander Fang Yang-ning. Thus, in compliance with the principle of ‘utilizer of principal offender’and ‘joint principal offender’, we the lawyers’ group is of the opinion that Chiang, Wang and Fang should all bear the criminal responsibility of the principal offender or joint principal offender of homicide attempt, offenses causing injury or serious physical injury according to different situations of the victims. Moreover, even the paramedics coming on site this morning to assist the injured were facing similar violent assaults on theirs heads and bodies by the riot police. We are deeply sorry that this country has gradually become a police state.

為此，本義務律師團秉持追求司法正義，保障人民權益和對抗國家暴力的職業倫理和律師道德，決定為這些被逾越憲法第二十三條比例原則之國家暴力，因而不幸被鎮暴警察攻擊受傷，甚至有生命之危的學生和民眾們，依法提出刑事自訴，以追究江宜樺、王卓鈞和方仰寧三人之殺人未遂、重傷害及傷害之所有刑事責任，絕不寬貸。也讓全國人民知道，司法正義一定要去追求實現。至於個人鎮暴員警之刑事責任，我們也會在逐一蒐證後，予以追訴。
For the reasons above, we lawyers, as pursuers of Justice and under vocation of lawyer ethics, are determined to protect civil rights from state violence and encroaching state power which is over the limitation of the principle of proportionality, prescribed in Article 23 of the Constitution. On behalf of the students and citizens serious injured, and even those in danger of life, we will initiate a criminal lawsuit against Chiang, Wang and Fang, who should be held responsible for attempted homicide, serious injuries and other offences; their offenses should not be indulged. Our action is also a demonstration to all citizens of our firm determination to realize Justice. As for responsibility of individuals of the riot police, we will initiate criminal lawsuits as well, after evidence has been collected.
