【新唐人2011年3月2日訊】外國媒體記者，在中國遭到中共警察和便衣的暴力毆打和拘押。27號，在北京最著名的購物街——王府井，中共排出大量警察、便衣、保安人員抓捕抗議民眾。許多外媒記者紛紛趕到現場試圖採訪，卻遭到中共警察和便衣的毆打，多名記者被警察強行帶走，遭關押或肢體上的攻擊。
BBC駐北京記者顧求真敘述，他被警察揪著頭髮扔上卡車，幾次試圖關門都卡在他的腿上。他還看到其他記者遭到毆打、腳踢和拳打臉部的場面。
《彭博》電視臺記者恩格爾遭到至少5名中共便衣人員的踢打，隨後，他被穿制服的公安架到附近的警察局，他的攝影機也被沒收。
《美國之音》的兩位駐京記者何宗安與張楠，分別被便衣帶走，並且被短暫限制行動自由，兩人拍攝的照片和錄音也被警察沒收。
《美國之音》普通話組主任羅大任：“他們被妨礙採訪工作的事情很多起了。現在已經向美國政府駐北京大使提出抗議，美國大使洪博培也向中國政府提出了抗議。”
美國駐華大使洪博培表示，這種騷擾和恫嚇“無法令人接受，也十分惱人”。對於中共公安無法保護外國記者在工作時的安全和財產，洪博培感到失望。
他呼籲中共政府將騷擾和攻擊無辜個人的嫌犯繩之以法，同時要求他們尊重外國記者在中國報導的權利。
CNN的報導說，當天，有超過120輛警車和幾百名警察部署在王府井購物區，還有無數的便衣在暗中監視。
27號共有十幾名外媒記者受到干擾，其中還有兩名台灣三立電視臺記者。警察拖拉過程中，一名攝影記者肩部受傷，他和另外1名台灣女記者被帶上車，隔離詢問，到下午4點左右，之後被帶到派出所作偵訊筆錄，6點才獲得釋放。
台灣行政院發言人江啟臣對於記者採訪自由遭到干擾表示遺憾，他希望大陸方面尊重記者新聞的“採訪權”。
國民黨立委賴士葆表示，一個進步的社會一定要有新聞自由，和民主人權一樣，都是普世的價值。他呼籲，中共當局能對新聞的從業人員給予一定的尊重。
美國國務院發言人克勞利：“我們非常憂慮中國當局沒有保護這些記者的安全和他們的財產，我們希望他們使那些肇事者對此負責。”
國際新聞記者組織高度關注此事件。“記者無疆界”也發表聲明，譴責中共警察的這種“暴徒”行徑。
