【禁闻】茉莉花三开 外国记者再成重点

【新唐人2011年3月8日讯】中国网民号召的第三波茉莉花革命,当局严阵以待。前去采访的外国记者也再度成了警方关注的焦点,据报导,至少有15名外国记者遭到拘禁。

在这波“茉莉花革命”指定地点之一的上海,中共警方拘禁了至少15名试图报导事件的外国记者。其中有德国《明星周刊》记者沃尤卡斯(Janis Vougioukas)。沃尤卡斯通过对现场的观察认为,示威活动规模很小,但中共当局十分紧张。

沃尤卡斯在接受《德国之声》的采访中表示,中共部署了上百名警察和便衣的安全力量,并检查几乎所有在场外国人的证件。15名外国记者,被带到附近一条小路里的一个地下室,在那里,他们被关了将近3个小时,他们被警方警告必须遵守中国的法律。

3月3号,中共外交部例行记者招待会上,发言人姜瑜再次告诫外国记者“不要用法律作挡箭牌”、并声称“什么法律也保不了他”。

沃尤卡斯认为,从中共外交部发言人的话中可以看出,在中国“法律”里怎么写的已经不重要,重要的是有关当局在这样的特殊情况下如何具体执行。

一位西方记者告诉《自由亚洲电台》,中共公安曾上门威胁他,如果去王府井或者西单那些敏感地方,他明年就没有(中国)签证。

另外,由于网上出现了号召100所高校学生,参加每周日的“集体散步” 的讯息,让校方和当局大为紧张。

香港《苹果日报》报导,从5号开始,各地高校就下令封校、学生不得随意外出或接近人群聚集地点。学校周围出现警察和戴着红袖章的安保人员,甚至有直升机在空中来回巡逻。北京地铁站还临时封闭“中关村站”。学生表示“现在上大学与蹲监狱还有什么区别”。

与此同时,大陆多份报章6号继续向民众大打稳定牌。除了《北京日报》连发两篇社论外,北京市政府新闻办公室发言人王惠也把中东的民主浪潮批评为“乱局”,并声称,中国是不会发生“茉莉花革命”的。中共上海市委机关报《解放日报》则以《稳定是人心所向》为题发表评论,呼吁民众要维护所谓的“稳定局面”。

The 3rd Jasmine Revolution: Foreign Journalists are Targets

Chinese authorities have braced up for the third wave
of Jasmine Revolution called on by Chinese netizens.
The foreign reporters present became police targets.
At least 15 reporters were detained.

In Shanghai, a designated location for the “revolution”,
the police detained at least 15 foreign reporters.
Among the journalists attempting to report the event,
Janis Vougioukas is from German news magazine Stern.
Vougioukas observed that the demonstration was small,
but the authorities were pretty nervous.

Vougioukas told Deutsche Welle in an interview,
authorities had hundreds of police and plainclothes
checking the IDs of all foreigners at the scene.
The 15 foreign reporters were taken to a basement,
where they were detained for nearly three hours.
The police warned them to abide by Chinese laws.

On March 3, at Foreign Ministry’s press conference,
spokesperson Jiang Yu warned foreign reporters
again “not to use the law as an excuse,”
claiming “no law can protect” them.

Vougioukas believes that the spokesperson’s words
imply that in China, what the laws are not important.
All it matters is how the authorities would act.

A western journalist told Radio Free Asia,
the police threatened that if he went to gathering places,
his visa application would be rejected next year.

The recent online messages calling upon students
in 100 colleges to join in “group strolls” every Sunday
have made the schools and the government nervous.

Hong Kongs Apply Daily reported, since March 5,
many colleges have been ordered to close their doors.
Students are not allowed to go out at will
or get close to places of gathering.
Security guards and helicopters monitor campuses.
Beijing temporarily closed the subway stop
where many colleges are located.
Students said “colleges are just like prisons”.

The media continue to emphasize stability maintenance.
Beijing Daily published 2 editorials on the topic.
Beijing government spokesperson Wang Hui called
the Middle Eastern democratic movements “chaos”,
saying Jasmine Revolution would never occur in China.
Shanghai party newspaper Liberation Daily’s commentary
“People Set Their Minds to Stability,”
called upon the people to maintain the social stability.
