【新唐人2012年5月11日訊】陳光誠：當局威脅家人 報復開始

目前正在北京朝陽醫院，等待中共官方赴美護照及手續的大陸盲人維權人士陳光誠，5月10號接受媒體採訪時表示，他的侄子陳克貴目前被沂南警方拘留，陳克貴的妻子最近幾天去向不明，而陳克貴的父親，陳光誠的大哥目前在村裡被限制行動，手機被沒收。陳光誠認為，這是當局針對他逃離東師古村進行的報復。

據多家海外媒體報導，陳光誠認為，山東當局對他的報復已經開始，他說，山東公安人員明確表示陳克貴人目前在他們手中，並在找陳克貴的妻子簽字。當局威脅他的大哥、大嫂要在24小時之內找到陳克貴的妻子，否則將隨時把他的大嫂抓走。而此前，他的大嫂被以「窩藏罪」取保候審。

陳光誠表示，非常擔心家人的處境，呼籲外界密切關注。

半島記者離京 美籲驅逐中國記者

《半島電視臺》駐北京記者美籍華人陳嘉韻(Melissa Chan)，被北京當局驅逐後，引起國際輿論的強烈反應，駐華外國記者俱樂部和美國報紙報導說，這是中共近年來限制外國記者的「最極端實例」 。而美國專家則呼籲美國採取報復行動，驅逐中國駐美記者。

據《美國之音》報導，著名「華盛頓保守派智庫傳統基金會」(The Heritage Foundation)亞太新聞「華盛頓圓桌會」主任尼克•察恩(Nick Zahn)發表聲明說，美國記者被中共驅逐事件讓人們看到鮮明的反差，一方面是美國願意向中國記者頒發籤證，並允許他們在美國有完全的自由報導，而另一方面，外國記者卻在中國受到限制和威嚇。

察恩說，陳嘉韻的僱主雖然是《半島電視臺》，但這不應該減弱美國對驅逐陳嘉韻事件的關注。美國必須對驅逐陳嘉韻事件採取明確行動，做為報復。美國應當取消一名中國記者的簽證，而且最好是在中國出名的記者，或者一組相應的記者。

《卡塔爾半島電視臺》英文頻道5月8號在網站發表聲明說，這個頻道唯一的駐華記者的簽證和記者證到期後，中共有關部門拒絕為她延續新的工作簽證，也不允許電視臺派遣新記者頂替，因此《半島》英文臺被迫關閉北京辦事處。

Revenge against Chen Guangcheng’s Family

Currently blind activist Chen Guangcheng is staying at Beijing

Chaoyang Hospital waiting for his passport to visit America.

In a May 10 interview he said his nephew, Chen Kegui, is being

detained by Shandong police, his wife is missing, and his father and older brother are under house arrest.

Chen Guangcheng believes this is the authorities’ retaliation

for his fleeing the Shigu village.

Overseas media reported that Chen Guangcheng believes

Shandong authorities have already begun seeking revenge against him.

He said Shandong public security officers made it clear

that they were holding Chen Kegui.

The authorities threatened his brother and sister-in-law, saying

They must find Chen Kegui’s wife within 24 hours to avoid going to jail.

His sister-in-law was already on bail for “harboring a criminal.”

Chen Guangcheng expressed deep worry about his family,

and called for public attention.

Public Call for Expulsion of Chinese Reporters as Al Jazeera Reporter Leaves China

Melissa Chan, American-Chinese reporter for Al Jazeera

Beijing, was expelled by Chinese authorities, causing international concern.

Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China and American

newspapers reported that this is the most extreme instance of CCP’s restriction against foreign journalists in recent years.

American experts called for the United States to take retaliatory

actions to expel Chinese correspondents in America.

According to Voice of America, Nick Zahn, director

of Washington Roundtable for the Asia-Pacific Press in The Heritage Foundation,

said in a statement that CCP’s expulsion of American journalist

shows a sheer contrast between the two countries.

While U.S. welcomes Chinese reporters with complete freedom

of speech, foreign journalists in China are restricted and threatened.

Zahn said, although Melissa Chan works for Al Jazeera, U.S.

should continue its attention and take definitive actions as retaliation.

He suggested U.S. cancel the visa of one, or a group of Chinese

reporters, preferably famous reporters.

Qatar’s Al Jazeera English channel released a statement on May 8

saying its only correspondent in China was denied visa renewal.

CCP also refused to issue visa to an alternative Al Jazeera

reporter.

As a result, this channel’s Beijing office was forced to close.
