拍攝啟東警察施暴 日本記者遭群毆

據日本媒體報導，日本《朝日新聞》駐上海支局長奧寺淳，7月28號在江蘇省南通市啟東採訪民眾抗議行動過程中，遭到當地警察群毆，照相機和外國人記者證也被奪走。

報導說，28號中午12點半左右，在啟東市公安局門前的路上，奧寺淳正在拍攝多名警官毆打參加抗議者時，突然被15-20名警察圍住，並奪走照相機。奧寺淳立即聲明自己是記者，但是，他遭到幾十秒鐘的毆打，頭部被腳踢，還有警察騎在他身上打他。被打後，奧寺淳將自己的記者證拿出來給警察看，但是立即被警察收走。

日本駐上海總領事館已向中共當局提出了強烈的抗議，要求警察立即歸還照相機，並回覆原狀。 《朝日新聞》社也提出了抗議，要求防止再度發生這類侵害記者採訪的行為。
