摘要

香港居民陳同佳涉嫌於2018年在臺灣殺害女友潘曉穎後潛逃回港。臺灣士林地檢署先後透過陸委會向香港提出司法互助請求卻未獲回應。但該案卻引起香港政府修訂司法互助條約，即俗稱之《送中條例》，並引起國際矚目的香港「反送中」運動。本案涉及以下幾項問題：在臺灣與香港現行法制之下，是否有刑事司法互助法源依據？另依司法互助之原則，諸如國民不引渡原則，縱使臺灣與香港簽署司法互助協議或引渡條約，是否即可解決將本案被告偵查、審判定罪之問題？是否違反公民與政治權利國際公約等相關規定？另外，本案香港法院對於本案是否有刑罰權？亦為本文所欲釐清之疑義。

Hong Kong resident Chen, Tong-Jia allegedly fled back to Hong Kong after killing his girlfriend Pan, Xiao-Ying in Taiwan in 2018. Taiwan Shihlin District Prosecutors Office submitted requests for mutual legal assistance to Hong Kong through the MAC, but got no response. However, the case caused the Hong Kong Government to amend the mutual legal assistance treaties, commonly known as the ＂Sent to China Ordinance＂, and attracted international attention in Hong Kong's ＂Repatriation＂ campaign. This case involves the following questions: Is there a legal basis for mutual legal assistance in criminal justice under the current legal systems of Taiwan and Hong Kong? According to the principle of mutual legal assistance, such as the principle of non-extradition of nationals, even if Taiwan and Hong Kong have signed a mutual legal assistance agreement or an extradition treaty, can the issues of the investigation and trial of the defendant in this case be resolved? Does it violate relevant provisions such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights? In addition, does the Hong Kong court have punishment rights in this case? These are also the doubts that this article wishes to clarify.
