ANM’s Statement on the Police Force’s Unreasonable Refusal of HK Journalist From Entering Macao
On the unreasonable denial of a Hong Kong journalist from entering Macao, although this is no new matter based on the Macao Government’s habitual misuse of power, it is still shocking when this happens to a journalist, showing that there is no misgiving in the Government.
Under the rule the government of Edmund Ho, there have continuously been cases of denying visitors from entering Macao, according to the “Basic Law of Internal Security”, as they have held. According to the law, in fact, when the police force implements the task of internal security, “within the scope of relevant power”, is rightful “to stop a non-resident who is considered unwelcome or causing threat to the internal security according to law, or considered involved in cross border crime, including terrorism from entering or expel one out of the territory of the Macao SAR”. It has been clearly shown that the priority authorizing the police force to exercise preventive measures is based on the “Basic Law of Internal Security”, to protect the life and completeness of an individual, public peace and the established order from violence and organized crime, including internal activities which foster cross-border crime and international terrorism”, meaning that the Law focuses on people “conducting violent or organized crime, cross-border crime and internal activities which foster international terrorism”.
The recent cases of denial, including Felix Wong, the SCMP reporter; the twenty Hong Kong legislators and residents around December 20, 2008; Legislator Fred Fong who came to Macao during Chinese New Year; Legislator Nelson Wong; District Councilor Ku Kwai Yiu of East District; and Councilors Michael Mak and Andrew To; ex-legislator Lo Wing-Lok; ex-Councilor Chan Cheong; Christina Chan, a HKU student; Zhang Ying, a Dutch citizen; and a Taiwanese woman whose name was Chen, who were refused last year… All could hardly be related to “violent or organized crime, cross-border crime and internal activities which foster international terrorism” the Law is dedicated to. Macao, being a city of tourism, should certainly welcome these people as pure travelers. Even when participating in academic activities and peaceful demonstrations, they should cause no harm to any Macao resident or the society, or “the life and completeness of an individual, public peace and the established order”. The police force denying the right of entry of irrelevant parties, with a “blacklist” based on the misuse of law, is totally senseless.
Macao is a city dependent on tourism. Arbitrary acts of denying visitors from entry certainly damages Macao’s image. Taking the C & E industry—the most hopeful industry for Macao to fulfill economic diversity—for example, whose basic condition for development is an open and free system of passage, to convince entrepreneurs that their clients can come to Macao freely when participating in conferences or exhibitions. When the police suddenly quote the Law with no principle to refuse those not posing any threat to public order in Macao from entry the development of Macao’s tourism and its C & E industry will be cast with gloom.
On the police’s misuse of power, and the SAR Government’s support in public for such behavior, we are reminded of the quotation “God makes one carzy before he dies”. Is the present administration, due by the end of the year, fulfilling this saying?
Whether it is “craziness” before “death” such misuse of power shall not be tolerated. ANM will report to the Procuratorate, CCAC and the Police Supervisory Board in the recent future to stop this crazy behavior before “death”.
學社就警方無理拒絕記者入境等鐵幕手段之聲明
澳門特區政府無理拒絕香港一份報章的記者入境，嚴重損害特區形象。雖然以澳門政府一貫隨意濫權的行徑，隨意拒人入境不是一件奇怪的事，但發生在一個記者身上，顯示特區政府之鐵幕表現得更無所顧忌，還是教人感到震驚。
在何厚鏵政府主政期間，不斷有外地來澳的遊客被無理拒絕入境。澳門警方拒人入境所持之理據就是內部保安綱要法。可是，根據有關法律，警察當局在執行內部保安工作時，「在有關權限的範圍內」有權「阻止對依法被視為不受歡迎或對內部保安的穩定構成威脅，或被視為涉嫌與包括國際恐怖主義在內的跨境犯罪有關的非本地居民進入澳門特別行政區，或者將其驅逐出境。」很清楚，澳門警察當局獲授權執行某些預防措施，其前提是根據內部保安綱要法制定之「主要目的是保護個人的生命及身體完整性、公眾安寧以及已建立的秩序免受暴力或有組織犯罪，包括助長跨境犯罪及國際恐怖主義的境內活動的侵害。」即有關法律主要針對的是實行「暴力或有組織犯罪」、「跨境犯罪」及參與「國際恐怖主義的境內活動」的人士，而最近被拒進境的南華早報記者王智強，與回歸日前後二十多位被拒入境的居民和議員、春節期間的香港立法議員馮檢基、黃成智、香港東區區議會古桂耀議員，以及去年較早前被拒入境的香港現任區議會議員麥國風、陶君行、前立法會議員勞永樂醫生、前區議員陳昌、港大女生陳巧文等，還有荷蘭公民張英，台灣一位陳姓女士等，與內部保安綱要法所針對的「暴力或有組織犯罪」、「跨境犯罪」及參與「國際恐怖主義的境內活動」全部難拉上任何關係。作為旅遊城市，這些旅客來渡假遊玩當然應被歡迎，即使是來澳門參加學術交流甚至和平的遊行集會，也不可能對澳門居民或社會構成「個人的生命及身體完整性、公眾安寧以及已建立的秩序」的侵害。而特區警察當局濫用法律隨意將與法律規範無關的人士都納入黑名單中拒諸門外實屬胡作非為。
澳門作為一個以旅遊業作為經濟命脈的城市，政府卻隨意作政治審查，限制外來人士入境，肯定嚴重傷害澳門的形象。以政府視為澳門經濟多元一個最有希望的行業──會展業為例，其發展的先決條件必須是一個具有開放及來去自由的出入境制度，方能令有意在澳門舉辦會議、展覽的企業家相信其對象客戶來參加會議展覽活動時能自由來澳。但當本澳警方竟突然可在毫無準則下祭起所謂「內部保安綱要法」來隨意拒絕看不到對澳門治安會構成任何威脅的人士入境時，會令澳門的旅遊業、會議展覽業的發展蒙上陰影。
針對警方這種胡作非為，特區政府更曾公開聲明支持對警方這種濫權行為，無異公開採取鐵幕手段進行政治審查，令人想到一句名言，就是「上帝要人死亡，必先使人瘋狂」，尚有幾個月就完結的現任特區政府，是否應了這句說話？
無論是否「死亡」前的「瘋狂」，對這種濫權胡作非為的行徑，我們都認為無法坐視。新澳門學社將於日內向檢察院、廉政公署及警監會作出檢舉，以制止這種「死亡」前的「瘋狂」行為。 |
