一位美国国会议员兼波多黎各地方长官周二表示正求助于美国国务院调查四位岛屿居民因使用假币被囚禁在中国的待遇。
纽约民主党议员Jose Serrano代表四人的家属提出此要求，称四人在上海的监狱六周期间遭受不人道的待遇。
Serrano声称“一切努力可能最终都不起什么作用”“但至少我们希望听到他们被对待的方式是我们所能接受的”。
其中一人的姐妹Marta Valldejuli表示四人于10月12日前往中国参加与建筑业有关的展会，在返回的前一天与一位黑市交易者兑换了大约1000美元并在不知情的情况下收到了假币。
“他们是犯错了，但我认为就他们所犯的错而言不应该遭受现在的待遇”。
Valldejuli称代理律师传来的消息说四人挨冻、睡在纸板箱上、日见消瘦。
据美国加勒比地区长官Anibal Acevedo Vila办公室发布的新闻称其曾去函要求国务卿赖斯出面干预该案件“使他们作为美国公民能按照法律规定获得公平的对待”。
国务院发言人Noel Clay表示已获悉情况但拒绝发表更进一步的评论。
中国方面并未第一时间作出回应。
四名男子包括一对父子，他们是Jose Laporte Espada，61岁、Michael Laporte，33岁和George Enrique Valldejuli，56岁、Jorge Luis Hernandez，48岁。
【原文】
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – A U.S. congressman and Puerto Rico's governor said Tuesday they have asked the State Department to investigate the treatment of four island businessmen who were detained in China and accused of using counterfeit money.
Rep. Jose Serrano, a New York Democrat, made the request on behalf of the men's relatives, who say they have endured inhumane conditions during six weeks in a Shanghai prison.
"Everything else will have to play out," Serrano said, "but at least we would know they are being treated in a way that we are satisfied."
The group traveled to China on Oct. 12 to attend trade shows related to the construction industry. On the day before their return, they exchanged roughly $1,000 with an unauthorized dealer and unknowingly received counterfeit bills, said Marta Valldejuli, the sister of one of the men.
"They made a mistake, but my point is, because of that mistake, they shouldn't be treated the way they're being treated," she said.
An attorney for the men has reported they are exposed to the cold, are sleeping on cardboard boxes and have lost weight, Valldejuli said.
The governor of the U.S. Caribbean territory, Anibal Acevedo Vila, sent a letter asking Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to intervene in the case "so they receive fair treatment as American citizens in accordance with the law," according to a news release from his office.
State Department spokesman Noel Clay said the agency is aware of the situation but declined further comment.
Chinese authorities could not immediately be reached for comment.
The men were identified as father and son Jose Laporte Espada, 61, and Michael Laporte, 33; George Enrique Valldejuli, 56; and Jorge Luis Hernandez, 48.

“他们是犯错了，但我认为就他们所犯的错而言不应该遭受现在的待遇”。
这就是美国对自己国民宣传的身为美国人的超国民待遇。可惜在中国行不通的。
犯法就得接受惩罚，用中国的法律。 “他们是犯错了，但我认为就他们所犯的错而言不应该遭受现在的待遇”。
那是你们那样认为而已
你们怎么认为不会影响我们的行为
就像你们看待我们那样 犯了错不该被捉还要受到国民欢迎么?呵呵,真的是越来越好玩了,那我也去杀两个人,然后放风说中国政府镇压我的自由,美国议会会不会把我救出来呀 偶哭笑不得。。。特等公民哈？Q6) 王子犯法与庶民同罪。不懂了吧。真以为自己是一等公民啊。 什么什么会上很多国际大盗和国际骗子 这已经不是什么新鲜事情了 靠，蹬班房以为是度假啊？还想当宾馆住？
