【新唐人2013年10月31日訊】網名為「天地俠影」的汪煒華,10月12號在上海家中被新疆烏魯木齊市公安局刑事拘留,拘留通知書顯示,汪煒華被刑拘的罪名是「涉嫌編造與傳播證券期貨交易虛假信息罪」。在此之前,總部設在烏魯木齊市的上市公司「廣匯能源股份有限公司」董事長秘書表示,「廣匯能源」今年9月向警方舉報了汪煒華。汪煒華被跨省追捕,成為廣州《新快報》記者陳永洲第二。
汪煒華自10月14號被羈押在烏魯木齊市天山看守所後,他的家人為他聘請的代理律師劉江華,直到10月20號才見到他。
劉江華告訴《新唐人》,他請求查閱「廣匯能源」向警方舉報汪煒華的材料,但是警方拒絕,甚至拒絕告知舉報人或舉報單位是誰。
大陸大成律師事務所律師劉江華:「根據我會見汪煒華向他了解到的情況,他這個廣匯能源提出的質疑,依據都是廣匯能源在網上公開的年報和中報,這些公開的信息進行的分析,判斷,推理,最後提出自己質疑的觀點。如果僅僅是這方面的話,構成編造傳播證券虛假信息罪,可能就有點問題。」
汪煒華雖然人在獄中,但是比較樂觀,他本人向律師表示,不同意與舉報方和解,並且提出,他的分析文章是不是構成「編造傳播證券期貨交易虛假信息罪」,最好能有證監部門來界定。
劉江華:「因為他不認為自己犯罪。因為他質疑的都是有根有據。因為他質疑目地是為了尋求一個事實的真相。」
汪煒華是業餘的股票投資者,他在澳洲「墨爾本大學」攻讀完博士研究生學位後,最近回上海探親。去年10月,汪煒華在投資者論壇《雪球網》上注意到網友對「廣匯能源」的討論。決定要好好研究一下這家公司。
在研究了「廣匯能源」的財務報告後,汪煒華認為,「廣匯能源」正在大力推動的天然氣項目前景,並不像他們宣傳的那麼好。他發文指出「廣匯能源」存在「財務欺詐」。
汪煒華的文章引發了一波投資者和媒體對「廣匯能源」的猛烈質疑。股價因此不再堅挺。
在10月25號下午的證監會例行發佈會上,證監會新聞發言人對汪煒華被逮捕一事表示,上市公司必須嚴格執行信息披露的要求,證監會支持各界參與監督,但是必須要以事實為依據,以法律為準繩。
劉江華認為,證監會有義務去核實民眾有關證券期貨的質疑,而被質疑的上市公司,也應當主動的對投資人提出的質疑,按照證券法和證監會的要求,予以澄清。劉江華表示,投資人對上市公司進行舉報的比較普遍,而上市公司舉報投資人「編造並傳播證券虛假信息」的則非常罕見。
2002年,中國《財經》雜誌質疑在深圳上市的「世紀星源公司」操縱財務報表,遭到「世紀星源」的起訴。法庭判決《財經》敗訴。
前《財經》總編,現任「財新傳媒」總編輯的胡舒立,當年對案件評論說,一個根本性的問題,是媒體究竟有沒有權力以事實為依據,對上市公司作出批評?
如今,汪煒華被抓,她再次感嘆說,當年只是民事案件,已經十分震動,難以想像,在中國股市多少有些進步、公開性不斷增強的今天,竟有網友因質疑上市公司被抓之事!
但最近這樣難以想像的事情卻頻頻上演。比如廣州《新快報》記者陳永洲,因為撰文揭露湖南上市公司「中聯重科」欺詐,被湖南警方以「涉嫌損害企業商譽罪」拘捕。而加拿大股票分析師黃昆,被關押在中國洛陽的一所監獄裡已超過一年,他被指控誹謗一家加拿大上市公司。

Second Inter-provincial Person Arrested after Chen Yongzhou
for Questioning a Listed Company
Wang Weihua with the net ID “Tiandi Xiaying” was arrested in
his Shanghai home by Xinjiang State Urumqi Public Security
Bureau and placed in criminal detention.
The detention notice said he was suspected of being involved
in fabricating and communicating false information of
securities and futures trading.
The secretary of the Urumqi listed company “Guanghui Energy
Corporation” said they reported Wang Weihua
to police in September.
Wang Weihua was pursued in several provinces and has
become the second Chen Yongzhou.
Anchor:
Wang Weihua has been detained since 14th October in Urumqi
Tianshan Detention Center and could not meet
his lawyer until 20th October.
Liu Jianghua told “New Tang Dynasty TV”, (NTDTV) that he was
refused by police to access Guanghui Energy’s tip-off report;
and even refused to speak about the informer and company.
Dacheng Law Firm Liu Jianghua: according to my
understanding, Wang Weihua questioned the Guanghui Energy
Company based on his analysis and judgment of Guanghui
Energy public information from the internet including their
annual report and semi-annual reports.
If only considering this aspect, there might be a problem for
him to be charged of fabricating and communicating false
securities and futures trading information.
Wang Weihua was optimistic even in prison.
He told the lawyer that he disagreed to reconcile with the
reporter and his analysis document does not constitute the
crime of fabricating and spreading false
securities and futures trading information.
It is better to have the Securities Department to decide.
Liu Jianghua: Wang Weihua doesn’t think he is a criminal
because his question is well-founded in seeking truth.
Wang Wei, an amateur stock investor, obtained his PhD degree
from the University of Melbourne, visited his family in Shanghai.
Last October, netizens’ discussions from the Investor’s forum
“snowball network" made him decide to carry-out
careful research on this company.
Wang Weihua believes that the prospect of vigorously
promoting the natural gas project is not as good as advertised
according to the Guanghui Energy’s financial report.
He issued that there is financial fraud in Guanghui Energy.
Wang Weihua’s article triggered investors and the media
to question Guanghui Energy.
The share price is now unstable.
In the afternoon of October 25, during the regular press
conference of the Securities Regulatory Commission, the
spokesman said the listed companies must strictly implement
the information disclosure requirement.
The regulatory commission welcomed monitoring from all
walks of life based on the law and facts.
Liu Jianghua accepted that the Securities Regulatory
Commission has an obligation to verify investors’ questions
on securities and futures.
The listed companies in question should also clarify the
question according to the securities laws and requirements.
Liu Jianghua said that it’s quite normal that an investor
reported a listed company, while listed companies reporting
on investors “fabricating and disseminating false
information" is very rare.
In 2002, the China Finance magazine was sued for questioning
the Shenzhen listed company FOUNTAIN CORPORATION for
manipulating financial statements and lost.
Previous finance editor and current Caixin Media chief editor
Hu Shuli commented on the case that year, the main problem
was whether the media had the right to criticize the listed
company according to the law.
Today, Wang Weihua was arrested and lamented that it was a
great shock for just a civil case this year.
It’s hard to imagine that a netizen is arrested for just
questioning a listed company in today’s China with somewhat
progressive and growing open stock market.
But recently such unbelievable things have
been frequently staged.
Such as, Guangzhou New Express reporter Chen Yongzhou
being arrested by Hunan police for disclosing the listed
company Zoomlion’s fraud.
He was arrested on suspicion of damaging corporate reputation.
The Canadian equity analyst Huang Kun was holed up in
Luoyang for more than a year and was sued for defamation
of a Canadian public company.
