【新唐人2012年1月18日讯】上海著名维权人士冯正虎在互联网寻求公众募捐,支持他的维权事业,他说,英雄也有气短之时,公众的事业需要公众来支持。有维权者指出,冯正虎请求民众资助是一种无奈之举,希望国际社会能伸出援手资助中国的民主进程。
上海知名维权人士冯正虎在互联网发出《公开账号 坦诚求助》的公开信。他在信中说,我们是先驱者,先行的英雄,但不是圣人,也是普通人,也会英雄气短。我知道:把困难坦诚相告,民众会帮助的。
冯正虎是上海知名的维权人士。
2009年2月15号,冯正虎在北京遭当局秘密绑架,并被非法拘禁41天。当局为六四事件20周年,劝诫他回避。4月他前往日本,此后,他先后8次试图回国,都被禁止入境。冯正虎滞留日本机场第一空港入境审查大厅,坚持他的公民回国权利,不愿再回到日本。
期间,日本官方不让冯正虎的亲人送食物进到管制区内,许多人从中国向东京空运食物和日用品,并给他捐款。冯正虎的遭遇引起中国网民及国内外维权机构的关注。他在机场被困92天后,成功回国。
冯正虎:“在机场上没有那么多民众的给我捐食品啊,给我一些资助啊,我不可能那个……就是安全在机场,也不可能回到自己的国家,也不可能在维权方面做出一些成就。”
回国后,继续从事维权事业的冯正虎依然受到当局的严密监视,时有“被失踪”的消息传出,冯正虎在信中说,一年四季家门口有十几位非法看守者,24小时轮番监管他。
冯正虎:“我们这些人主要整个精力都投入那些(维权)活动方面,那么在国内不可能有其他方面的一些资助收入。公众的事业需要公众来支持的,得到民众的支持他才会有力量,因任何一切活动,它都需要……要做出实施它需要一些钱的。”
冯正虎自费办网站,编辑出版《督察简报》。去年网民发起借钱给艾未未运动,他也给艾未未汇去了999元。他表示,钞票就是选票,民众对艾未未的支持也是对他一次投票。
冯正虎:“民众只要一小点支持,它就会聚成一个很大的一个财力的。就是一般民众他喜欢支援,他就捐款来支持就可以了,我没有那么多精力来数钱,我把精力投向这个(维权),很简单的就可以了。”
“权利运动博客”负责人胡军表示,冯正虎寻求民众资助也是一种无奈之举,如果他的经济能力还能继续维持,继续维权的话,他肯定不会提出“募捐”。
胡军:“确实在国内维权这一块面临困境,资金的问题,经费的问题,特别困难,因为中共对国内的维权的人士采取的手段就是,断绝经济来源,在工作方面就是要切断你的生活的经济这方面的来源,一般的工作要会截止,或者你想从事一些谋生的职业,都会受到阻拦,或者给你去对各个地方打招呼,不允许给你就业的机会。”
胡军希望国际社会能伸出援手资助冯正虎,他说,帮助冯正虎就等于帮助中国的民主进程,帮助中国民众摆脱中共专制统治,实现真正的民主。

Feng Zhenghu Calls for Donations Online, Defenders Urge the International Community to Help
Well-known Shanghai human rights activist Feng Zhenghu
is seeking public donations on-line to support his human rights activities.
He said even a hero has difficulties,
public business needs public support.
Some activists pointed out, it’s an urgent need for action
that has made Feng Zhenghu ask for public donations.
He hopes the international community can help him
to push forward China’s democratic process.
Feng Zhenghu published a public letter on line which had
the title “Publish My Bank Account, Ask for Help Frankly”.
He said in the letter: “we are pioneers, the leading heroes.
We aren’t sages, but normal people who
will meet difficulties In our path.
I knew that if I spoke about my difficulty frankly,
people would help me.”
Feng Zhenghu is a well-known human rights activist
in Shanghai.
On February 15th, 2009, Feng Zhenghu was secretly kidnapped
by the Beijing authorities, and was illegally detained for 41 days.
The authorities warned him to avoid the 20th anniversary
of the June 4th event.
He went to Japan in April, but was refused entry to China 8 times
when he tried to go back.
Feng Zhenghu stayed at the entrance hall of Terminal 1
of Japan’s Narita Airport to ask for the right go back to China with his Chinese passport, and refused to enter Japan.
During this period, the Japanese government didn’t allow
his relatives to send food into the control zone.
Many Chinese brought food and daily necessities to him
from China by air.
What Feng experienced caused Chinese netizens and
human rights’ organizations grave concern.
After spending21 days at the airport,
he successfully returned to China.
Feng Zhenghu says: “When I was at the airport,
if there had not been many people to bring me food and other things,
I wouldn’t have been safe or able to go back to my country,
and then I wouldn’t have been able to succeed in those achievements in the area of human rights .”
After he arrived home, Feng continued to engage in the
human rights’ business but was closely monitored by the authorities.
He was also “missing” frequently. Feng said in the letter that
there were always a dozen illegal caretakers outside his home 24/7.
Feng Zhenghu says: “Our main effort is in human rights activity,
but we can’t have any income in China.
Public business needs public support. It will be powerful with public support.
Any kind of action needs money to make things happen.”
Feng Zhenghu spends money setting up a website,
edits and publishes a newspaper “inspection briefing”.
Last year, when netizens led a campaign to lend money
to Ai Weiwei,
he sent him 999 yuan by wire transfer.
He said money is the ballot, cash support is the vote.
Feng Zhenghu: “If each person gives a little support,
the total amount will be a considerable. If people like, they can donate support.
I don’t have time to make money, I put my energy
in the human right’s activities. Simple is good.”
The director of “Rights Movement Blog” Hu Jun said, it’s because
of urgency that Feng Zhenghu is seeking money in this way.
If he had money to maintain the operation of his projects,
he certainly would not ask for donations.
Hu Jun says:"It’s true that human rights’ activities are facing
financial issues, such as operating costs and funding.
It’s very difficult because it’s the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP)’s trick that is always used to deal with human rights activists.
CCP cut your income, cut the financial resources of your life.
You can’t find a normal job, and you will meet a block
as you try to make a living.
They tell all related businesses and units not to give you a job.”
Hu Jun hopes that the international community can help
Feng Zhenghu.
He said, to help Feng Zhenghu is to help China’s democratic
process, is to help Chinese to get rid of the CCP’s dictatorship, to realize real democracy.
