法新社12月5日报道，欧洲人权法院周四裁决称，一名法轮功练习者在俄罗斯寻求庇护失败，俄当局把他驱逐出境并没有侵犯他的人权。

　　这名74岁的退休教授，只知道称为Y某，2003年4月至2007年5月期间住在圣彼得堡，申请庇护失败。他曾多次在许多场合声称，如果被送回中国，将会受到迫害。

　　位于法国东北斯特拉斯堡（Strasbourg）的欧洲人权法院以证据缺乏为由，拒绝了Y某的诉讼，法院指出Y某的妻子已经告诉俄罗斯调查人员说他被驱逐出境后并没有受到虐待。

　　《欧洲人权公约》要求如果有可能遭受酷刑或面临“有辱人格的和不人道的待遇”，则禁止对其进行引渡。

Falun Gong follower's rights not breached by deportation: court

A follower of the Falun Gong religious group and a failed asylum seeker did not have his human rights breached when Russian authorities deported him to China, the European Court of Human Rights ruled Thursday.

The 74-year-old retired professor, known only as Y, lived in St. Petersburg from April 2003 to May 2007. He had unsuccessfully applied for asylum in Russia on a number of occasions, arguing he would be persecuted if sent back to China.

The Strasbourg-based court rejected Y's case on the ground of a lack of evidence, pointing out his wife had told Russian investigators that he had not been mistreated following his deportation.

The European Convention on Human Rights prohibits the extradition of a person to a foreign state if they are likely to be subjected to torture or face "degrading and inhuman treatment."
