【新唐人2011年3月2日讯】外国媒体记者，在中国遭到中共警察和便衣的暴力殴打和拘押。27号，在北京最著名的购物街——王府井，中共排出大量警察、便衣、保安人员抓捕抗议民众。许多外媒记者纷纷赶到现场试图采访，却遭到中共警察和便衣的殴打，多名记者被警察强行带走，遭关押或肢体上的攻击。
BBC驻北京记者顾求真叙述，他被警察揪着头发扔上卡车，几次试图关门都卡在他的腿上。他还看到其他记者遭到殴打、脚踢和拳打脸部的场面。
《彭博》电视台记者恩格尔遭到至少5名中共便衣人员的踢打，随后，他被穿制服的公安架到附近的警察局，他的摄影机也被没收。
《美国之音》的两位驻京记者何宗安与张楠，分别被便衣带走，并且被短暂限制行动自由，两人拍摄的照片和录音也被警察没收。
《美国之音》普通话组主任罗大任：“他们被妨碍采访工作的事情很多起了。现在已经向美国政府驻北京大使提出抗议，美国大使洪博培也向中国政府提出了抗议。”
美国驻华大使洪博培表示，这种骚扰和恫吓“无法令人接受，也十分恼人”。对于中共公安无法保护外国记者在工作时的安全和财产，洪博培感到失望。
他呼吁中共政府将骚扰和攻击无辜个人的嫌犯绳之以法，同时要求他们尊重外国记者在中国报导的权利。
CNN的报导说，当天，有超过120辆警车和几百名警察部署在王府井购物区，还有无数的便衣在暗中监视。
27号共有十几名外媒记者受到干扰，其中还有两名台湾三立电视台记者。警察拖拉过程中，一名摄影记者肩部受伤，他和另外1名台湾女记者被带上车，隔离询问，到下午4点左右，之后被带到派出所作侦讯笔录，6点才获得释放。
台湾行政院发言人江启臣对于记者采访自由遭到干扰表示遗憾，他希望大陆方面尊重记者新闻的“采访权”。
国民党立委赖士葆表示，一个进步的社会一定要有新闻自由，和民主人权一样，都是普世的价值。他呼吁，中共当局能对新闻的从业人员给予一定的尊重。
美国国务院发言人克劳利：“我们非常忧虑中国当局没有保护这些记者的安全和他们的财产，我们希望他们使那些肇事者对此负责。”
国际新闻记者组织高度关注此事件。“记者无疆界”也发表声明，谴责中共警察的这种“暴徒”行径。
