[【迟到的法治胜利】唐慧案终审,这位母亲终于沉冤得雪。一路走来,万恶的劳 教制度仍旧阴魂不散,官方扯不下那个他自己看得很重、其实是皇帝新衣的所谓面 子。这是迟到的法治胜利,尽管步履维艰,官方仍不愿书面道歉,但时代在进步, 公民意识在觉醒,任何旧有体制已经无法阻挡,劳教制度必须彻底废除!] (The Tang Hui case has reached a final verdict and the mother has finally won redress. But the RTL system continues to haunt us and the government has yet to acknowledge its deep flaws. Today's verdict is justice delayed after a long and arduous process. The government refuses to issue a written apology, but as time progresses and civic awareness increases, any archaic institutions will inevitably be dismantled. The RTL system must be completely abolished.)
