211229 《立場》7人被捕全球連署
重光團隊2021年12月29號清晨,香港警務處國家安全處以對付蘋果日報嘅同樣手法,派遣200警員突擊搜查非牟利新聞媒體「立場新聞」辦公室。國安處以「涉嫌串謀發布煽動刊物」為由,共拘捕7名《立場新聞》有關人士。
立場新聞係繼蘋果被封殺後,最具廣泛認受性嘅非建制派媒體。各個社交媒體上都過百萬港人關注嘅《立場》,今年較早前榮獲亞洲出版商協會 (SOPA) 頒發嘅「卓越新聞獎」。《立場》喺同日晏晝刊登聲明即時停止運作,並喺晚上關閉所有社交媒體以及網站。
七名被捕者包括:
前董事會成員:
- 歌手何韻詩
- 前香港立法會議員吳靄儀大律師
- 前香港社會服務聯會行政總裁方敏生(方亦係陳方安生嘅堂妹)
- 前《立場》科學版總編輯周達智
同時被捕嘅有
- 前總編輯鍾沛權
- 現任署理總編輯林紹桐
- 早前被還押嘅前蘋果日報副主編陳沛敏
較早前呢個禮拜二28號《蘋果日報》黎智英以及羅偉光等高層亦被加控「串謀發布煽動刊物」,同今日對《立場》嘅指控一樣。港共嘅信息好明確 —— 新聞媒體必須「聽黨話跟黨走」,否則將面臨搜捕以及清盤等後果。喺香港發生嘅種種係對民主國家珍視嘅新聞自主以及言論自由嘅侮辱。中共正係以《國家安全法》開闢的權力,以極權的方式消滅香港僅餘嘅自由。
‼️我哋促請國際社會支持民主、維護基本人權同言論自由呢啲核心價值觀。喺香港嘅言論自由被抹去嘅同時,參與連署嘅我哋立誓為被壓逼嘅港人發聲。
我哋促請關注香港嘅每一個您:
▶️ 通過社交媒體上分享被捕人士嘅照片,表達您對被捕者的支持社交媒體平台 #StandwithHKPress;
⏩ 支持其他報導真相嘅香港媒體,例如眾新聞、香港獨立媒體網以及Hong Kong Free Press。
我哋促請媒體專業人士:
▶️ 堅拒自我審查,團結面對威權,;
⏩ 利用自身影響力,抵抗中共喺香港嘅大外宣並道出真相
我哋敦請國際政府及社會:
▶️ 為被打壓嘅香港人發聲;
⏩ 制裁以中共執法方式打壓港人自由嘅港共官員;
⏩ 定期重新考慮香港仲有冇足夠嘅新聞自由維護商業利益;
⏩ 評估喺香港同中國投資帶嚟嘅聲譽損失;
⏩ 審查有關香港嘅中共假新聞嘅中共
