【新唐人2011年12月17日讯】中国广东陆丰乌坎村的抗争不断升级,16号,是薛锦波隆的“头七”,一万多名处于哀痛中的乌坎村民不理会当局的封村断粮,继续聚集追悼,由于当局不归还死者尸体,村民们被迫空棺祭典。另网传中共当局正调遣部队和大批警力前往乌坎村武力镇压,村民表示“反抗到底,绝不退缩”。
在陆丰乌坎村代表薛锦波隆重的“头七”祭典上,村民们手臂缠上白布,向灵堂内薛锦波遗像鞠躬,他们没有喧哗,没有口号,只是悬挂几幅写有:为民请命,惨遭虐杀,严惩凶徒,不容逃责,归还尸体的标语。
由于政府还没有归还薛锦波的遗体,村民用薛锦波遗像作为替代。村民表示,目前他们只想讨回薛锦波尸体。
村民A:“目前来说就是要回遗体这是第一,第二的话,希望陆丰政府就算给我们一点点地,我们都心甘情愿,我们认了。 再这样下去真的..很难想像,最大的困难,最痛苦的事情,不是粮食,是思想的一种折磨。”
乌坎村事件自9月爆发冲突后之后,广东当局对村民软硬兼施,无所不用其极,先是通过谈判,将村干部免职,回应村民部分要求,当村民万人和平示威后,当局又将矛头对准所谓“境外敌对势力”,扣押村民代表,武力封村。
村民代表薛锦波被虐死黑牢后,当局又声称“独立调查”、“独立尸检”,却藏匿薛锦波的尸体不交还家属,同时又继续派出上千军警围村,断粮、断水、断电。
目前仍被当局围困的村民说,他们现在已断粮,只能靠吃方便面维生了。
村民:“现在吃的也没有,粮食也没有,水电也给它停掉了,11号(就)停掉了,现在只靠吃方便面,我也想哭了,真是太苦了,政府逼到我们这样,所有路口都被陆丰市政府围掉了,出入全部都要身份证,如果是乌坎的身份证就抓起来 现在整个村都不敢出去,不敢出去粮食哪里有啊。”
14号晚,广州网友发起了上街声援乌坎村民抗暴行动,遭警方围困直到晚11点才走脱。
《新浪》和《腾迅》微博开始封号,并屏蔽乌坎村民抗暴的信息,之后,中共当局着手抓捕实名上网发乌坎事件贴子的网民。
村民说,15号,在外打工的4个村民因为在网上讲述“乌坎事件”,而被警察拘捕,直到晚间才放出来。
村民A:“有些是在网络上留言,比如说大型的,比如说微博啊,或是说我们上微网留言,或者自己在网络上留言啦,有一两个是打电话回村里面监控到的。”
16号下午,广州网友微博发贴求助,说他几天前发了一条“陆丰独立调查的贴子”,后来被新浪删贴了,但还是被当局扣上“涉嫌煽动XX”的帽子。他求助的贴子在1小时内就被删除了。
16号早上8点左右,有推友发贴说,中共当局已调部队和大批警力前往乌坎村武力镇压。村民表示,他们不怕死,将抗争到底,绝不退缩。
村民:“要抓,就整个乌坎一起抓出去,整个村人抓出去,要打死,就整个村就打死吧,反正就这样,叫我们村民退缩绝不可能的。”
05年广东曾经发生震惊世界的“汕尾事件”,红海湾东洲坑村因政府兴建发电厂,没有按照法律规定给农民合理补偿和安置,引发农民驻守发电厂大门口,阻止工程进行。当局调上千警力镇压,直接开来装甲车对村民进行扫射。
事后中共喉舌《新华社》声称,只有3个村民被打死,而外电根据村民讲述,当场有几十人死亡,另有30多人失踪。这次事件被评论为“农村六四”。
前《新华社》记者高瑜认为,当前乌坎的危机,正向着6年前汕尾的解决方式滑行。当年距离十七大还有两年时间,今天对汪洋可没有那麽长的时间了。她认为,时间给汪洋的唯一出路就是,依法惩办暴力执法打死薛锦波的凶手。

Mourning of Xue Jinbo Suppressed
Protests in Wukan Village, Lufeng, Guangdong Province
have continued to escalate.
December 16 is ‘the first seventh day’ for Xue Jinbo,
a villager representative who was killed.
Over 10,000 villagers continue to gather to mourn him,
in spite of village closures, and the cutting of food supplies.
The local authorities refuse to return Xue’s body,
forcing mourners to observe the empty coffin.
According to online sources, authorities will send large numbers
of troops and police to Wukan.
Villagers have responded that they will
“resist to the end, and never back down."
During the mourning, the villagers wrapped white cloth on
their arms, and bowed to the portrait of Xue Jinbo.
They are not shouting slogans, but simply have banners
‘Appeal to the People, [but was] brutally killed;
punish the culprits, no escape from responsibility;
return the body.
As the Government has not returned Xue’s body,
the villagers used his portrait as an alternative.
Villagers said that at present they only protest for the
return of Xue’s body.
Villager A: “Firstly, it is our priority to have his body returned.
Even if the Government of Lufeng returned just a little bit of his body,
we would be satisfied, and accept it.
It is really hard to imagine what it will be like to go on like this.
The biggest problem and the most painful thing
is not lack of food, but mental torture.”
Since September, when the Wukan village conflict broke out,
the Guangdong authorities have tried using persuasive
measures towards villagers, none of which have worked.
Firstly, they tried had negotiations, then dismissed
the village cadres, and even responded to parts of demands from the villagers.
After 10 thousand villagers’ peacefully demonstrated,
the authorities stated they were so-called ‘foreign hostile forces’,
seized village representatives, and closed the village by force.
Village representative Xue Jinbo was tortured to death
in prison,
but the authorities have claimed to have carried out
‘independent investigations’, and an ‘independent autopsy’.
They have hidden Xue’s body without returning it to his family,
and continue to send thousands of police to surround the village,
cutting their food, water and electricity.
The villagers continue to protest under siege, saying they are
now without food, with only instant noodles to survive on.
Villager: “Now there is no food, even water and electricity
had been cut since December 11.
Now we have to live on instant noodles.
I want to cry, it is really bitter, the government pressured us like this.
All junctions are closed, and ID card will be checked
when going in and out.
If you are from Wukan village, then you will be arrested.
All villagers are afraid of going out, and won’t say they are getting food.
On the evening of December 14, Guangzhou netizens launched
activities in the street to support Wukan village uprising, but were besieged by the police until 11 pm.
Sina and Tencent micro blogging began to close accounts,
and screen information about Wukan village uprising.
Subsequently, the Chinese authorities began arresting netizens
who used their true names online.
Sources in the village said that on December 15, four villagers
spoke about the Wukan incident online, and were arrested by police. They are only released last night.
Villager A: “Some left comments online, such as
large-scale ones, micro blogging, or left a message on a micro-network or our own website.
Some were monitored by phone calls to our village.”
In the afternoon of December 16, Guangzhou a netizen
sent messages via a micro blogging site, asking for help.
He said he had sent a posting a few days ago, entitled “Lufeng
independent investigation”, but it was deleted by Sina later.
He was labeled as “inciting …”.
His posting asking for help was deleted within an hour.
Around 8:00 am on December 16, some netizens posted on
Twitter that Chinese authorities have sent a large number of police and armed forces to suppress people in Wukan village.
Villagers said they are not afraid of death, and will fight to
the end, without retreating.
Villagers: “If they want to arrest someone, they can arrest us
all. If they want to beat someone to death,
they can beat the whole village to death.
Regardless, the villagers won’t retreat.”
In 2005, Shanwei incident in Guangdong shocked the world.
Government attempts to build a power plant in Dongzhoukeng village, Donghai Bay,
without reasonable compensation and resettlement according to law, resulted in residents
occupying the entrance to the plant, stopping construction.
The authorities sent over 1,000 policemen to suppress them.
Armored vehicles directly opened fire to the villagers.
CCP official propaganda Xinhua News Agency claimed that
only three villagers were killed.
According to villager sources, dozens of people died and 30 people were missing.
The event was nicknamed ‘6-4 massacre in village’.
Former Xinhua News Agency reporters Gao Yu believes that
the current Wukan crisis is heading toward the same resolution in Shanwei six years ago.
At that time, they were still two years separating the incident
from the 17th congress meeting, but there won’t be this gap for Wang Yang today.
Gao Yu believes the only way out for Wang is to punish those
who killed Xue Jinbo.
