Xinjiang police beat up Hong Kong journalists

4th September 2009

Three Hong Kong television reporters and photographers, including Now News photographer Lam Chen Wai, TVB news photographer Lam Tsz-ho and reporter Lau Wing Chuen were beaten, threatened at gun point by Xinjiang police whilst they were reporting the public demonstration and interviewing demonstrators in Urumqi, Xinjiang. They were subsequently detained by local police for three hours before their release. TVB News, Now News, and Hong Kong News Executive’s Association (HKNEA), and Hong Kong Journalists Association had separately issued statements to strongly protest and condemn such brutality and request the respective authorities to apologize. The HKSAR government expressed its concern on the incident.

8th September 2009

The Information Office of Xinjiang held a press conference on the findings of the investigation of the incident, but the notification to the press conference was not issued to the TV station that was involved in the incident. At the press conference, the Director of the Information Office, Ms. Hou-min stated that the three beaten reporters and photographers were “filming in disguise”, “making suggestive gestures towards protesters”, and “suspected of inciting trouble “. She also stated that “no one wanted to see such incident” and the beating occurred because the reporters refused to produce identifications when confronted. TVB News and Now News subsequently issued a statement emphasizing that all reporters involved possessed valid press identifications on the date of the incident, and said that the statement made by Information Office of Xinjiang were fabricated and the reporters involved were falsely accused.

9th September 2009

Whilst attending a function, the Chief Executive Donald Tsang took the initiative to comment on the incident encountered by Hong Kong reporters in Xinjiang, and stated that he has expressed his concern and relayed the strong opinions from the Hong Kong journalists to Information Office of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region through the Hong Kong and Macau’s Affairs Office of the State Council. He has also stated that he will keep close contact with the related Central Government Authorities to ensure the safety and legitimate reporting of Hong Kong journalists and in particular the Hong Kong journalists on the ground. Following the Chief Executive’s comment on the same day, several representatives of the League of Social Democrats (LSD) went to the Government House and Hong Kong and Macau’s Affairs Office of the State Council to deliver a petition, and hanged a piece of raw pork outside the entrance of the Hong Kong and Macau’s Affairs Office of the State Council, satirizing the Xinjiang Authorities in framing the Hong Kong reporters.

10th September 2009

The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), the Liberal Party and Civic Party have separately sent letters to Vice President Xi Jinping and Premier Wen Jiabao to call for an investigation of the incident. The Standing Committee of National People’s Congress (NPC), Ms. Rita FAN also criticized the Xinjiang Government and stated that the case put forth is unconvincing. Vice Chairperson of the Democratic Party, Ms. Emily Lau and the National Committee member of the Chinese People Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Mr. Jeffery Lam have also separately sent letters to the leaders of the Chinese Government to urge for a thorough investigation of the incident. However, the ex-Standing Committee of NPC, Mr. Tsang Hin-chi wishes the media to be understanding, and should go dilute rather than intensify the incident.

11th September 2009

The Vice Chairman of the Chinese People Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Mr. Tung Chee-hwa indicated that he would follow up on what actually happened at the incident. 23 pan-democratic legislators wrote to President Hu Jintao, urging him to set up a committee to investigate the beating of the Hong Kong reporters by the Xinjiang police, and suggested that someone should be punished if there was mishandling of the incident.

12th September 2009

During the Foreign Ministry’s regular press conference in Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Ms. Jiang Yu were publicly questioned by Mr Lam Tsz-ho (the reporter who was beaten by Xinjiang police). Mr. Lam questioned Ms. Jiang on whether Foreign Ministry has read the investigation report and whether they endorse the report given that it has concluded on the beating incident. Mr. Lam also pressed on and asked whether he should surrender himself to Urumqi police as the investigation concluded that the reporters involved were suspected of inciting trouble. At the same time the Standing Committee of Chinese People Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Mr. Chan Wing Kee indicated that he shall express his view at the coming Association Standing Committee meeting. Executive Council Convenor Mr. C.Y. Leung, and Secretary for Security Mr. Ambrose Lee stated that the HKSAR Government has already expressed Hong Kong journalists’ concern on the incident through the Hong Kong and Macau’s Affairs Office of the State Council.

13th September 2009

Several hundreds of journalist from TV, radio, newspaper and agencies reporters in black clothes with red ribbon attended a protest march organized by the Hong Kong Journalists Association. At the end 700 reporters, university students and members of the public marched to the Hong Kong and Macau’s Affairs Office of the State Council. They protested against the false accusations put forth by the Xinjiang Government Officials, and for the freedom of the press in China. During a seminar hosted by the Hong Kong Federation of Journalist, National People’s Congress member, Ms. Lau Pui King indicated that she would propose “Press Law” to be legislated at the National People’s Congress (NPC) and Chinese People Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), so that the rights for journalists are protected. The Vice Chairperson of Hong Kong News Executive’s Association (HKNEA), Ms. May Chan expressed her wish for China to issue country wide identification for journalists.

18th September 2009

Nearly 30 members of the National People’s Congress (NPC) of Hong Kong were in meeting yesterday and decided against sending a joint letter to Central Government with regards to the incident where Hong Kong reporters were beaten. However, all members unanimously regretted the incident and expressed their concern. At a press briefing after the meeting, the deputy of the NPC, Ms. Maria Tam, said that the incident encountered by the Hong Kong reporters was an isolated incident. Members of the NPC have already individually reflected their concerns to the Central Government. Moreover, given the 60th National Anniversary is fast approaching, the members feel that there is no urgent need to press the Central Government for a response. Therefore, the members decided that there is “no need to send a joint letter to the Central Government”.

新疆新聞辦公室召開記者招待會就事件發表調查結果，卻未有通知涉及事件的兩家電視台；而辦公室主任侯漢敏指3名被打的記者及攝影師在事發當日「跟蹤拍攝」，以及「對聚集遊行人員指手劃腳」、「有煽動鬧事嫌疑」；又說記者拒絕出示證件，才發生「大家不願意見到的」毆打記者事件。無綫電視及Now新聞台即晚發表聲明強調當日記者均持有合法採訪證，駁斥新疆新聞辦的說法是「完全難造事實，胡亂安插罪名」。

9月9日
特首曾蔭權出席活動時主動提及有關港記在新疆的遭遇，表示已向港澳辦反映，透過對方向新疆自治區反映本港新聞界對當地新聞辦聲明的強烈意見，亦會與中央有關機構保持密切聯繫，確保港記者，特別是在當地採訪記者的安全，協助他們在當地合法採訪。社民連數名代表於當日到中聯辦及禮賓府遞交請願信，並於中聯辦門外掛上生豬肉，諷新疆當局砌生豬肉。

9月10日
民建聯、自由黨、公民黨分別致函國家副主席習近平及國務院總理溫家寶要求調查有關事件，人大常委范徐麗泰亦批評新疆說法欠說服力。民主黨副主席劉慧卿、全國政協委員林健鋒亦分別致函領導人促請徹查事件。前人大常委曾憲梓卻表示希望新聞界體諒，應該去淡化而不要激化事件。

9月13日
香港記者協會發起同業遊行，數百名電視台、電台、報紙、通訊社記者穿上黑衣綁上紅絲帶遊行到中聯辦抗議新疆官員誣陷記者及爭取中國新聞自由，最終約有七百名新聞從業員、新聞系學生及市民參加。港區全國人大代表劉佩瓊於香港新聞行政人員協會的研討會上表示，會在全國人大政協兩會提出就《新聞法》立法的提案，保障記者採訪權利。新聞行政人員協會副主席陳淑薇表示希望中國能發出全國通行的記者證件。

9月18日
近30名港區人大代表昨開會後，決定不就香港記者在新疆採訪被毆打一事聯署致函中央，但各人一致對事件感到遺憾和關注。譚惠珠會後交代會議結果時稱，由於今次香港記者所遭遇的事情屬個別事件，各代表已用不同渠道向中央直接反映關注，加上國慶臨近，認為沒有迫切性要求中央作出回應，所以決定「唔需要用聯署方式表達」。

Hong Kong Conscience – A campaign organized by a group of individual bloggers

We are a group of individual Hong Kong bloggers. The recent violence suppression of Hong Kong journalists’ rights to report in Mainland China and the officials’ allegation against Hong Kong reporters of instigating disturbances have caused us to worry that Hong Kong’s freedom of speech, press and Internet freedom, which we have long defended, are being threatened. The Internet is the last safe haven for free speech. As individual bloggers, we cannot turn a blind eye to this. We are initiating this “Hong Kong Conscience” campaign to urge all Hong Kong netizens, bloggers and anyone who is online to become part of our group, to speak up in the defense of Hong Kong people’s right to free speech, free press and Internet freedom, and to protect Hong Kong’s most precious core value using the power of the Internet. Below is our manifesto:

Manifesto

Ever since the Urumqi beating of Hong Kong journalists, the Pan-democracy Camp, journalist associations, human rights groups and even Leftists and pro-China Royalists have showed support to Hong Kong journalists to demand a reasonable explanation from the Chinese Government. Former Chief Executive and vice-chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Tung Chee- hwa also said “the rights and wrongs will be clear to all.” This has proven that Xingjian authorities have gone as far as calling a stag a horse in attempts to demonstrate its power.

As a group of individual bloggers who cares about preserving the freedom of the press and the Internet, we want to send a message to Chief Executive Donald Tsang, Xinjiang officials, the Beijing Government and even the whole world that even though Hong Kong people are said to be overly practical and money-driven, we do have a conscience, dignity and the sense of right and wrong. With our conscience, we will not remain silent when we are being slandered; with our dignity, we do not butter up authorities for the benefits in return; with our sense of right and wrong, we will not allow authorities to call a stag a horse. We can proudly say, “Money is not everything. We won’t turn a blind eye to your slandering. We won’t sell you our souls. And we have no tolerance for people who intentionally mix up right and wrong.”

We believe many have heard this story:

During the Second World War, German pastor Martin Niemoller said regretfully – “When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn’t a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.”

We want to remind every netizen that if we do not speak up today when journalists are being slandered and beaten, there will be no one to speak up for us when blogs are censored, or when Twitter and Facebook are banned. Freedom of press and Internet regulation are essentially the same issue.

We started the “Hong Kong Conscience” campaign to spread the above message to more Hong Kong people. If you support our cause, please help promote this campaign by publishing related blog posts and spread the words.

「香港良知、尊嚴、是非心」博客聯署聲明

加入聯署：請按此

近日內地以暴力打壓香港記者採訪自由、甚至誣捏記者煽動動亂，令我們憂慮香港一直堅守的言論、新聞自由、網絡自由受到侵蝕。互聯網世界是言論自由的最後一片樂土，作為香港博客，我們不能置身事外，有責任捍衛香港言論自由、新聞自由、網絡自由不受侵害，所以我們發起「香港良知、尊嚴、是非心」博客聯署聲明，呼籲全港博客成為我們的一份子，為捍衛香港言論、新聞、網絡自由發聲，利用網絡力量，保護香港最寶貴的核心價值，以下是我們的聲明：

新疆武警毆打香港記者事件，新疆當局已到達指鹿為馬、刻意顛倒是非並藉以展現自己權威的地步。沒錯香港人從來是務實和揾食至上，不過我們也擁有良知、尊嚴和是非之心。因為有良知，我們絕不會對抹黑坐視不理；因為有尊嚴，我們不會為了利益做狗奴才；因為有是非之心，我們不會容忍指鹿為馬和顛倒是非。

相信很多人也聽過這個故事：二次大戰德國牧師尼默勒（Martin
Niemoller）的一句著名懺悔話：「在德國，他們先來對付共產黨人，我沒有出聲，因為我不是共產黨。然後他們對付猶太人，我也沒有出聲，因為我不是猶太人。然後他們來對付貿易工會，我又沒有出聲，因為我不是工會份子。然後他們對付天主教徒，我還是沒有出聲，因為我是新教徒。最後他們來對付我，到那時，已經沒有人敢出聲了。」他最後因反對希特勒的納粹主義政策而被關進集中營。

我們想提醒各位網友，今天如果記者被抹黑和毆打我們不發聲，當他日博客被審查內容、甚至Twitter或Facebook被查封的時候，可能也沒有人再敢出聲了。新聞自由和互聯網規管，可以說根本是同一件事情。

我們希望更多香港博客能接收到以上的聲明，若您支持我們，請參與簽署並幫忙宣傳，將這份聯署傳播開去。

Chan Lai Ting – One thing I have to say is that setting up this blog is really constructive. Everyone understands by heart that after the wave, the central government and even the SAR government would continue its own way and pretend to have forgotten the case. I know that no one will ever apologize to our camreamen and the reporter, but it is vital for us to keep the truth in our hearts. Spreading the message on the internet and putting the incident in our hearts is probably the only and most suitable way for us to protest and oppose against the stubborn chinese officials…
鍾鬼，鍾鬼燃犀燭怪BLOG – 面對一個奉武承暴、喪心病狂、殘酷嗜殺的異形政權，希望所有在最前線面對這隻凶殘異形政權的新聞工作者，能夠拿出道德勇氣、正氣良心來勇敢面對殘暴的打壓，用您們的明是非、分黑白的專業精神，堅持揭露這個根本上不可能存在人類社會的異形政權之滅絕人性的罪行；全世界所有還有尊嚴、良知、是非心的人類，都一定會堅決支持您們這群發揮人性之光的新聞工作者的；尤其在現今香港的傳媒界不斷發生為了追名逐利而自我閹割的事件，更加突顯了您們這群堅决維護新聞自由的可貴！定能流芳於萬世，互勉之！
在下先在此向香港這群不屈不撓、不肯跪倒於暴權醜貴跟前的人間驕雄，致以人類最崇高的敬意！
chunglingbing，香江群醜競艷圖 – 本人堅決支持香港新聞工作者為了捍衛香港新聞自由，而作出這次的抗暴行動！面對一個殘暴嗜殺，強大的瘋狂政權，敢於挺身而出，站起來對抗的人，在香港已經越來越小了！但跪在強權暴政跟前吮癰舐痔，以換取臭名污利的厚顏無恥、下流賤格之徒，就多如過江之鯽，真令香港蒙垢、港人汗顏了！！！所以本人希望香港所有還存有良知、尊嚴、是非心的新聞工作者及市民，能夠一同站出來，萬眾齊心地併肩作戰，齊齊抵抗這個瘋狂暴政，高壓粗暴打壓香港新聞自由的行為！！！本人亦謹在此向所有還存有良知、尊嚴、是非心的新聞工作者、香港市民，致以最崇高的敬意！！！
嵇轶 – 中共是全球最大的黑社会组织！我作为尚存良知的内地人，大家应该声援香港的良心媒体人！！！

巔倒是非 黑白不分

一群自由博客捍衛「香港良知、尊嚴、是非心」活動

我們是一群香港自由博客，近日內地以暴力打壓香港記者採訪自由、甚至誣捏記者煽動動亂，令我們憂慮香港一直堅守的言論、新聞自由、網絡自由受到侵蝕，互聯網世界是言論自由的最後一片樂土，作為自由博客，我們不能置身事外，有責任捍衛香港言論自由、新聞自由、網絡自由不受侵害，所以我們發起「香港良知、尊嚴、是非心」博客活動，呼籲全港網民、博客、以致每一個網絡參與者，成為我們自由博客的一份子，為捍衛香港言論、新聞、網絡自由發聲，利用網絡力量，保護香港最寶貴的核心價值，以下是我們的活動宣言：

宣言

新疆武警毆打香港記者事件，發生至今，除了泛民、記者團體、人權組織之外、就連左派和保皇人士也站在香港人、香港記者的一方，要求中央給予港人一個合理解釋，甚至連董建華亦表示「黑白最終自有交代」；這足以證明，今次新疆當局已到達指鹿為馬、刻意顛倒是非並藉以展現自己權威的地步。

我們一群關心新聞自由及互聯網自由的博客想告訴香港網民、告訴曾特首、告訴新疆當局、告訴北京甚至告訴全世界，沒錯香港人從來是務實和揾食至上，不過我們也擁有良知、尊嚴和是非之心。因為有良知，我們絕不會對抹黑坐視不理；因為有尊嚴，我們不會為了利益而擦鞋；因為有是非之心，我們不會容忍指鹿為馬和顛倒是非。因此，我們可以義正詞嚴地說：「有錢並唔係大晒，我們不會對抹黑坐視，不會為了利益做狗奴才，更加不會容忍顛倒是非黑白。」

相信很多人也聽過這個故事：

二次大戰德國牧師尼默勒（Martin Niemoller）的一句著名懺悔話：「在德國，他們先來對付共產黨人，我沒有出聲，因為我不是共產黨。然後他們對付猶太人，我也沒有出聲，因為我不是猶太人。然後他們來對付貿易工會，我又沒有出聲，因為我不是工會份子。然後他們對付天主教徒，我還是沒有出聲，因為我是新教徒。最後他們來對付我，到那時，已經沒有人敢出聲了。」他最後因反對希特勒的納粹主義政策而被關進集中營。

我們想提醒各位網友，今天如果記者被抹黑和毆打我們不出聲，當他日博客被審查內容、甚至Twitter或Facebook被查封的時候，可能也沒有人再敢出聲了。新聞自由和互聯網規管，可以說根本是同一件事情。

我們希望更多香港人能接收到以上的訊息，故此我們發起此「香港良知 尊嚴 是非心」博客創作活動，若您支持這個活動，請參與撰文並幫忙宣傳，將這個活動傳播開去。
