【新唐人2013年05月08日讯】国际记联:勿对《Lens》杂志施高压
“国际记者联合会”(IFJ)5月7号发表声明,批评中共媒体管制,惩罚刊登报导揭露“马三家”酷刑黑幕的《Lens》杂志。
声明说,《Lens》杂志的出版发行受到影响,股票初始股上市也受到干扰。
据《美国之音》报导,“国际记者联合会”信息和人权官员厄内斯特•萨加加表示,中共当局对《Lens》杂志的处理,不明不白,很不光明磊落,是违反新闻自由的行动。如果中共当局认为这份杂志刊登的报导内容不准确,可以寻求其他途径解决,例如,要求作者答复质疑,以正视听。但是,限制杂志出版,或者收缴证照,则是高压手段。
《财讯》传媒集团旗下的杂志《Lens》已经错过正常发行期两天,目前,还不清楚是永久关闭还是推迟出版。
这份杂志今年4月号刊登的调查报导《走出“马三家”》,揭露了辽宁省“马三家劳教所”女性劳教人员被酷刑虐待的问题,引发舆论广泛关注。《美联社》报导,这篇文章在中国四大新闻网站上是阅读人数最多的文章。
中纪委“严禁截访”说 被指空谈
中共中央纪律检查委员会信访室副主任张少龙5月7号表示,中共的各级纪检监察机关要坚决杜绝一切“拦卡堵截”上访群众的错误做法,而且不得“到来访接待场所和公共场所拦截正常上访群众”。他同时还强调,民众在行使举报权利时,“要遵守相关的法律法规”,不要“越级举报”。
对于中纪委官员这个最新表态,很多网友在微博上发表评论。
有人指出,这是典型的空谈误国行为,中纪委一不是立法机关,二不是执法机关,三不是行政机关,仅仅是党内的纪律机关,在这个问题上能有什么作为?如何依法严惩拦截上访者的人和国家机关?
也有人质疑,为何不直接说:严禁拦截上访群众?这背后是否暗示:非公共场所如家里、路上可以拦截?何为正常,是否暗示,把上访人说成非正常,就可以拦截?
还有人说,中纪委强调不要“越级举报”,可是同级纪检监督靠谱吗?弄不好信访举报人信息泄密,遭打击报复。

International Federation Of Journalists Urges China To
Investigate Political Interference With Lens Magazine
On May 7th, International Federation Of Journalists (IFJ)
issued a statement criticizing the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) control on media.
The statement condemned the CCP punishing Lens magazine,
which exposed dark scenes of torture in Masanjia Labor Camp.
The statement said the publication and distribution of Lens
magazine had been greatly affected.
The stock and shares market has also been disturbed.
Voice of America cited an official of IFJ that
Chinese regime violated press freedom in dealing with Lens;
It was opaque and disgraceful.
If the CCP thought Lens issued inaccurate content,
it could seek other ways to solve it.
For example, by expecting the author to reply to
the question and correct the mistakes.
However, to stop Lens publication and cancel
their publication license, obviously, was autocratic.
Lens magazine, a subsidiary of SEEC Media Group in China,
has postponed two days of normal publications.
Now, it is unclear whether it is closed forever or only
postponing publication.
In April, Lens issued a report titled “Walking Out Of
Masanjia Labor Camp”.
It exposed the abuse and torture cases of female inmates in
Masajia labor camp, Liaoning province, raising wide concern.
Associated Press said that this report was the most widely
read article from the four biggest news websites.
Central Commission For Discipline Inspection Talks
Empty On Petition Issue
On May 7th, Zhang Shaolong, deputy director of petition office
of the Central Commission For Discipline Inspection (CCDI)
said that it is wrong to let discipline inspection and supervision
bodies on all levels prevent normal petitioners.
It must not hold up petitioners in receptions and public areas.
Zhang emphasized that the public should obey the regulations,
going step by step.
One can’t go to appeal by crossing any level of official bodies.
Many netizens commented on the CCDI’s talk.
Someone said that it was a typical empty talking.
The CCD is neither legislature nor law enforcement agency or an administrative body.
It is only an internal discipline organ of the CCP.
What can they do about this issue? How do they
punish offices who hold up the petitioners?
People questioned they why they don’t say it directly:
are they not allowed to stop petitioners?
Did it imply: they would stop petitioners at private places,
such as at home, or on the street?
What do they mean “normal” petitioner? Is it implied that they
will catch any petitioner if they think one is “abnormal”?
It was said that the CCDI emphasized that
one couldn’t report across levels.
However, can they be trusted when the same level of
officials monitor each other?
Maybe the petitioners’ information would be leaked,
then they would experience revenge.
