華人聘新律師欲推翻加州禁魚翅法案

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)外媒報道，近日美國舊金山華人指控加州禁魚翅法案（AB376）歧視華人一案發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)機，華人團體聘請南加州律師鄧尼鮑爾（Michael Tenenbaum）做辯護。

    18日鄧尼鮑爾（Michael Tenenbaum）稱，聯(lián)邦訂有嚴格法律管制鯊魚捕捉及買賣，加州政府無權(quán)過問，所有合法途徑獲得的魚翅，都可合法在加州出售。

    第九巡回法庭一個由三名大法官組成的合議庭，當日為兩華人團體“華埠街坊會”及“美亞正義聯(lián)盟”提出的推翻禁魚翅法案（AB376）訴訟舉行聽證會。原告兩次敗訴后，上訴至第九巡回法庭。

    部分原文報道如下：

    California is forcing fishermen to treat shark fins “like plutonium,” a lawyer representing dozens of Chinese business owners told the 9th Circuit on Wednesday.

    The business owners, of which more than two dozen packed the San Francisco courtroom, claim California's ban on the sale and possession of shark fins places a substantial burden on commerce.

    The law was sponsored by Chinese Assemblyman Paul Fong, and became effective in 2012.
