China executes tycoon who bid for Australian miner

[MTENDAHAKI]

Liu Han, a Chinese mining billionaire said to have links with disgraced former security
tsar Zhou Yongkang, has been executed for "organising and leading a mafia-style group",
murder and other crimes

A Chinese mining billionaire said to have links with disgraced former security tsar Zhou Yongkang and who once launched a bid for Australia's Sundance Resources was executed for multiple murder on Monday, a court said.

Liu Han, his younger brother Liu Wei and three accomplices were condemned to death in May for "organising and leading a mafia-style group", murder and other crimes.

Their appeals were unsuccessful and all five were put to death on Monday, the Xianning Intermediate court in the central province of Hubei said on its verified account on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo.

The five met with their "close relatives" before the execution, the court said in a separate posting.

"The executed criminals' legal rights were fully protected," it added.

Liu Han led private company Hanlong, which is based in the southwestern province of Sichuan and launched a takeover bid of more than $1 billion for Sundance, a listed Australian iron ore firm, in 2011.

But the deal collapsed in 2013 after the Chinese firm failed to follow through. Chinese media reports said at the time that Liu Han had been detained.

Sichuan is one of the power bases of Zhou, who once enjoyed vast power as China's security chief but whose targeting in a corruption investigation was announced in July.

The influential business magazine Caixin has reported that Liu Han once had dealings with a businessman believed to be Zhou's son. State media have also hinted that the gang had connections to central government officials.

Zhou was handed over to prosecutors in December.

The official announcement of the long-rumoured probe into Zhou made him the most senior member of the Communist Party to be investigated since the infamous Gang of Four -- a faction that included the widow of founding leader Mao Zedong -- were put on trial in 1980.

We messed up since when we allowed businessmen to become politicians and political leaders, contrary to The Arusha Declaration. We decided to substitute Arusha declaration to Zanzibar declaration orchestrated by Ufisadi. And now we are dancing to their tunes whether we like or not.

kushughulika na ufisadi na aina yeyote ya ukiukwaji wa utawala bora, kunaanzia kwenye katiba bora. Si unajua tayari MAGAMBA yameichakachua rasimu ya katiba iliyokuwa imebeba maoni muhimu ya wananchi,--vikiwemo vipengele vya maadili ya utumishi wa uma pia miiko ya uongozi,wananchi kuchukua hatu pindi wanapozinguliwa na mbunge wao, kinga ya kutoshtakiwa n.k n.k,n.k. Kwa kuwa wamefanya udhalimu mwingi kwa taifa hili, sasa wanakomaa kuipitisha katiba mbovu ambayo itawalinda popote pale na kwa mda wowote ule (pindi wawapo madarakani na hata wakistaafu),na vile vile kuwapa wigo mpana wa kuendelea kufisad nchi pasipoi shaka yeyote. Hii nchi ni tofauti kabisa na china na kamwe haiwezi hata robo kufanana na china. Kuna mwimbaji anasema "MBUZI NI MBUZI HAWEZI KUWA SIMBA"

More than 100 per cent ulichosema. Ili wafanikishe mradi huo mbovu wa Katiba waliwateua watu kama yule mmama wa kizanzibari aliyekuwa akitoa matusi tu muda wote. Akili za aina hiyo ni ngumu kupata kayiba bora yenye kuleta uwajibikaji, mintarafu, wala rushwa na mafisadi.
