【新唐人2013年05月13日訊】近期，中國大陸連續爆發環保抗爭遊行。僅上海松江區，繼5月1號、4號民眾聚會抗議在當地興建電池廠之後，週六（11號）又有數千上海民眾再次走上街頭遊行，抗議興建電池廠。當局出動大批警力驅逐人群，現場有多人被抓。下面請看報導。
11號，上海松江區爆發針對汽車鋰電池廠的第3次遊行，大批民眾聚集到松江區中山路，高舉「我愛松江，拒絕污染」的橫幅進行抗議。
有外媒報導說，現場大約有上千民眾，但參與抗議的松江區居民認為﹕實際人數遠高於此。
參與抗議的上海松江區居民李先生：「昨天應該是將近兩、三千人，整個一個十字路口全部都給圍住了。應該是持續了5個多小時，那麼警察就強制性把人從馬路中間推開了，有人反應大一點，就強制性把人抓走。」
參與抗議的松江區居民李先生介紹說，當局出動了大批警力對人群進行驅逐，現場有很多人被警察抓走。
李先生：「警察，我估計至少有兩、三百個。說句內心的話，作為我來講，覺得這些警察態度非常差的。就是說話等都是很難聽的，態度非常惡劣的。」
「英國廣播公司」《BBC》中文網報導，民眾抗議興建的電池廠屬於「上海國軒」新能源項目，主要從事磷酸鐵鋰電池及電源管理系統的研發、生產和銷售，原定落戶上海松江。當地居民擔心電池廠排放的廢水廢氣，會影響他們的居住環境和健康。
面對民眾的抗議，4月29號，上海市松江區政府曾通過官方微博宣佈，將取消電池廠中可能帶來污染的生產環節，並宣稱工廠生產是安全的。但官方這一說法並沒有消除民眾的擔憂，進入5月以來，松江居民已經進行3次大規模的集會抗議。
上海松江區居民王女士：「我們擔心影響下一代了，影響小孩了。我們都老了，無所謂的，影響小孩的。這個單位就像是個定時炸彈一樣放在這裡。」
近年來，中國大陸民眾對工業污染和環境保護越來越敏感，抗議事件接連不斷。就在5月4號，昆明數千民眾走上街頭，抗議當地的一個煉油廠項目。去年7月，江蘇南通啟東市更有數萬憤怒的民眾衝進市政府，抗議「日本王子紙業」向啟東附近海域排污。但當局秋後算賬，今年2月其中16名示威者被判刑。
北京維權人士胡佳：「這種不斷的抗議只能是代表兩種方面。第一，政府不作為。它根本就是在推延，根本就不做出有效的反饋。它就想把這件事情拖下去，它把那些有訴求的百姓各個擊破。」
北京維權人士胡佳談到，這種不斷抗議還表明，中國的老百姓已經被這些事情逼得忍無可忍、毫無退路。
胡佳：「哪個環境問題它後來是真正給你解決了？它不是那樣的體制。因為在上這些巨額項目的過程中，它已經積纍了所謂政績，很多的貪污賄賂已經中飽私囊，所以官員是不肯放棄的。」
胡佳強調，環保問題事關每一個人，所以這類環保抗爭社會影響面很大，最能調動公民的覺醒和參與。大陸民眾應該在這一抗爭上同仇敵愾、互相支援，這樣才能維護所有人的公民權利。

Shanghai Residents Oppose Battery Factory Plans
Recently, anti-pollution protests have been frequent in China. Protests occurred on May 1 and May 4. Shanghai residents also protested on Saturday, May 11. Thousands of protesters voiced their opposition against plans for a battery factory. Local authorities dispatched police, arresting many protestors. The following is our report.
A third protest against an automobile lithium battery factory in Songjiang District, Shanghai, took place on May 11. Protestors gathered on Zhongshan Road, Songjiang District with banners stating, “I love Songjiang and oppose pollution.”
Around a thousand of protestors reportedly participated in the event. A local resident believed the number of participants was far more than that.
Mr. Lee, Songjiang District protestor: “There were about two thousand to three thousand protestors. The whole intersection was occupied for more than 5 hours. The police forcibly pushed the people away from the roads. People who resisted were taken away.”
Mr. Lee was one of the participating protestors. He explained that police were dispatched to dispel the protestors. Many were arrested.
Mr. Lee: “I would say there were about two hundred to three hundred police. To me, quite frankly, those police were very bad. Their words were cruel and their attitudes were very bad.”
BBC Chinese reports indicated that people were protesting against an energy plan of Hefei Guoxuan High-tech Power Energy Co Ltd. It is planned for the factory conduct R&D, production and sales of lithium battery and power management systems. This will take place in Songjiang, Shanghai. Local residents were worried about environmental and health impacts of effluent discharge.
Earlier, Songjiang District government claimed the production line associated with pollution will be stopped. It declared safety of the production process through the official microblog on April 29. It did not ease concerns. Since May, local residents conducted three protests.
Ms. Wang, Songjiang District resident: “We are concerned for the next generation. We are getting old, but we are worried for the impact on the children. That factory is just like a time bomb.”
Protests in China are frequent these years. This is in conjunction with increasing awareness of pollution issues, and environmental protection. Thousands of protestors gathered in Kunming on May 4, voicing concerns over a local refinery project. Last July, tens of thousands of angry residents of Nantong, Jiangsu stormed into Qidong city hall. They were protesting over sewage released by Japan’s Oji Paper. 16 demonstrators were sentenced in February.
Hu Jia, Beijing activist: “The endless protests demonstrate two aspects. Firstly, the Government doesn’t do its job. It simply ignores it, and has no effective solution. It keeps things dragging on, and attacks protestors one by one.”
Beijing activist Hu Jia believes the endless protests also show that people cannot tolerate it any more.
Hu Jia: “Has it resolved any particular environmental issues? That is not a part of its system. So-called achievements of these projects have accumulated a lot of corruption and bribery. None of the officials will give up on those profits.”
Hu Jia stresses that environmental issues concern everyone and have great social impact. People will be mobilized quickly. People should support
each other over these issues, to protect their own civil rights.
