【新唐人2012年7月4日讯】近日,钼铜项目在四川什邡破土动工,引发什邡民众不满,2号上午,约有两万市民参加了游行和示威,大批特警用警棍殴打民众,并施放瓦斯、催泪弹镇压,许多民众受伤。什邡市政府网站通告声称,别有用心的人鼓动不明真相的学生集访什邡市委。评论者指出,这是中共一贯的伎俩,总是把自己制造的与民争利和伤害民众的矛盾,说成国际矛盾或外来矛盾,来推卸自己的责任。
四川汶川大地震中的重灾区什邡,7月2号发生大批民众上街,抗议兴建钼铜冶炼厂的游行示威活动。据当地人透露,许多学生罢课,工人罢工,许多商店也关门停止营业,约有二万民众冒雨参加了抗议。
钼铜项目是四川省“十二五发展规划”重点项目,也是什邡历史上首个百亿级投资项目,总投资额达104亿元,前期筹备近5年,于6月29号奠基。
当地民众指出,什邡已经是一个满目疮痍的重金属污染城市,而钼铜则是一种可怕的化学物质。他们游行抗议只是希望保护好美丽的家乡,不愿意未来的孩子们变成癌症儿童。
什邡当地许多在校的学生也参与了这次示威抗议。陈永苗指出,中国的群体事件中反抗的主要力量以后肯定是80后和90后。
陈永苗:“这个地方的90后已经打出标语,他说:‘我们不怕牺牲,我们是90后’,这个标语反映非常非常之大,就是说出了他重点监控的是学生,其实因为他的就业问题,他的将来社会形势问题,他的各种感受,已经感到社会不公,已经严重的侵袭到校园中来了。”
目击什邡抗议示威的网友说,持警棍和盾牌的防爆警察,武警约两千多人,施放瓦斯、催泪弹强行镇压群众,无数人受伤,至少两名抗议者死亡,20多名学生被捕。
网路上目前传出大量现场抗议民众遭镇压的血腥视频和图片。
“权利运动”组织负责人胡军指出,网路上流传一张穿白衣服的女子跪在一群特警面前的照片,她16岁的女儿被打死了,而她的丈夫也在当局镇压中被打的血肉模糊,不知道生死。
胡军:“胖警察追在后面打女孩,几棒子把女孩打死了,那女孩的父亲跑去开个车愤怒了,把大门给冲了,她的母亲跪在地下求那些身穿盔甲,手拿棍棒的那些特警。 当地的市民围着一面墙上开始写,写他们自己的留言,整个一面墙多少人围着,悼念这个孩子。”
3号,什邡市公安局贴出公告警告民众,禁止集会,游行。四川什邡政府网站也发出通告,声称所谓别有用心的人包藏祸心、捕风捉影的宣传钼铜项目,鼓动不明真相的学生集体去什邡市委,引来群众围观。
北京宪政学者陈永苗指出,中共向来都是把自己制造的与民争利的矛盾,或者是伤害民众的矛盾,说成国际矛盾或外来矛盾,用来推卸自己的责任。
陈永苗:“那样的话它有个好处,它就可以任意弄到弑人的政治的高度,它好抓人,好把带头的人抓住,好控制住甚至可以开枪镇压它好镇压,这是地方政府在干对付地方群体事件的一贯的手法,汕头啊,乌坎啊都是这样子的。”
胡军指出,中共当局动不动就说反抗者是“敌对势力,境外反华势力”在支持,让老百姓厌恶。
胡军:“打棒子,扣帽子,然后搞一个什么敌对势力,然后采取手段对付自己的百姓……进行屠杀,这就是中共一贯用的伎俩,常用啊,现在中国老百姓见怪不怪了,这个流氓中共,老百姓已经把它看的清清楚楚的了。”
什邡发出的通告中,还特别提到了遭中共当局血腥镇压的法轮功和藏传佛教的精神领袖达赖喇嘛。
陈永苗指出,中共反对的,一定是民众认为好的,什邡当局发出的这种通告,反倒是对法轮功和达赖喇嘛的一种宏扬。
陈永苗: “凡是官方说的对的,人民或国际上舆论认为是错的,凡是官方说的错的,它也是错的,那它一旦指定谁是敌人,那对这个人来说,这个群体来说是一种表扬,是一个扬名立万的机会,效果就是这样子的。”
3号晚间,中共喉舌《人民网》发布了四川甚邡市委、市政府决定:今后不再建设钼铜项目。
不过,去年大连也曾发生过类似事件,约有1万2千名抗议民众要求大连政府迁走危害民众健康的石化工厂,后来政府承诺搬迁工厂,但据一些中国境外媒体报导,这家工厂仍在正常运营。

Shifang City Mass Protest Against Officials’ Polluting Project
Construction recently started on a molybdenum copper plant
in Shifang city, Sichuan Province.
The project provoked a mass protest staged by over 20,000
local citizens on July 2nd .
A large number of SWAT police beat the people, firing tear
gas on the crowds and many people were injured.
The Shifang local authorities of the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) openly attributed this to people with ulterior motives.
Commentators believe that this is the CCP’s usual trick
in order to offload all the blames it should take.
Shifang city which suffered in the Great Sichuan earthquake
witnessed a massive demonstration on July 2nd.
The local residents protested at the construction of a
molybdenum copper plant.
Informed sources said that a lot of students and workers took
to the streets, while businesses closed.
About 20,000 people braved the rain to join the protest.
The molybdenum copper project is on the list of key projects
of “Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan" of Sichuan Province.
It is known as the first project with investment of more than
tens of billions of RMB in Shifang city.
The foundation laying ceremony of the project was held
on June 29th after five years of preparation.
Local residents said that nowadays Shifang has become
a highly metal-polluted city.
Molybdenum copper is a terrible chemical causing cancers.
The people protested to protect their homeland and children
from the cancer risk.
A large number of local students joined the demonstration.
Chen Yongmiao, Beijing-based constitutional scholar predicts
that the main force of China’s mass protests will undoubtedly
be the generation born in 1980s and 1990s.
Chen Yongmiao: “The post-90s in Shifang city held banners
saying “We are not afraid of sacrifice. We’re the post-90s."
This slogan has deep meaning, which actually means that
being a student, he has realized that
social injustice not only exists in the workplace,
the social future but also invades into the university campus.”
A local witness revealed online that over 2,000 riot police and
armed police, holding batons and shields, fired tear gas at the protesters.
Many people were injured, at least two dead and
over 20 students were arrested.
A large amount of on-site videos and photos have flooded
China’s websites, showing brutal suppression of protesters.
Human Rights Campaign in China sponsor, Hu Jun,
spoke of a photo circulated on the internet.
In the picture, a woman in white dress knelt down
in front of a group of SWAT police.
Her 16-year-old daughter was killed and her husband,
horribly battered, may be dead or alive.
Hu Jun: “A fat policeman was chasing after the girl and
battered her to death.
His father, in fury, drove his car crashing into the gate.
The girl’s mother knelt down begging those armored
SWAT police who were holding batons.
The citizens began to write on walls, leaving messages.
So many people there were grieving over the girl."
On July 3rd, Shifang Municipal Public Security Bureau issued
a warning notice, prohibiting assembly and demonstration.
Shifang’s CCP authority posted on its official website, that on
instigation of people with ulterior motives on the molybdenum copper project,
the students “in ignorance of the truth " went to the Shifang
Municipal Party Committee, attracting the crowds.
Chen Yongmiao says all the frictions created by the CCP
in grabbing interests from or harming the Chinese people
have always been framed by it as international conflicts or
external conflicts, which is used to shirk its own liability.
Chen Yongmiao: “In this way, it can arbitrarily politicalize
any event to justify its capturing and killing of the civilians.
This is the usual means for the local authorities to deal with
the mass protests, like in Shantou, Wukan.
All these mass events were touted as activities under
incitation and separation by international forces.”
Hu Jun notes that the CCP regime always alleged that
the protesters are backed by “hostile forces or overseas anti-
China forces", which incurs civilians’ anger.
Hu Jun: “Bludgeoning or labeling, then blaming some hostile
forces, taking measures against the populace, and killing.
That’s a trick that the CCP has usually used, which civilians
have now understood fully."
The Shifang official announcement particularly mentioned
Falun Gong and the Dalai Lama.
Chen Yongmiao says that what the CCP opposes is definitely
welcomed by the people.
Instead, the Shifang’s official notification is a promotion of
Falun Gong and the Dalai Lama, he said.
Chen Yongmiao: “All the regime has positively touted cannot
get recognition by Chinese people or international community.
But when it targets the specific individual or group of people,
it is able to help perpetuate the latter, it’s the actual effect.”
On July 3, the people.com a mouthpiece of the CCP,
issued a statement for the Shifang authorities:
no construction of molybdenum copper project in the future.
However, Dalian city experienced a similar incident in 2011.
About 12,000 local citizens protested Dalian authorities to
remove a polluting petrochemical plant.
Afterwards, the authorities promised to relocate the factory,
but is still in operation according to overseas media reports.
