【新唐人2013年12月07日讯】据香港《南华早报》报导，中国风险投资家兼人权活动家王功权，在狱中已经承认了北京警方对他“扰乱公共秩序罪”的指控，并且，他的一份认罪视频可能将在《央视》上播放。王功权的好友告诉本台记者，“认罪不等于认错”。而让一个正在刑事侦查程序当中的嫌疑人，上《央视》认罪，恰好让人看清到底是谁在犯罪。
香港《南华早报》12月5号报导说，已被羁押近3个月的知名企业家，“新公民运动”发起人之一的王功权，承认了北京警方对他的指控。《南华早报》记者还看到一份视频， 神情憔悴的王功权现身，表示将和另一在押的“新公民运动”推动者——法学学者许志永，断绝关系并划清界限。
王功权还表示，“自愿解除”对辩护律师陈有西的委托。
知情人士透露，这个“认罪”视频可能在《央视》播放，以证明他愿意与中共当局合作，以获得减轻惩罚。《南华早报》援引一个消息来源，怀疑王功权在看守所期间受到虐待。
北京中恒聚信投资基金管理有限公司董事长王瑛，和王功权一起投身公民运动。她对《新唐人》表示，王功权认罪的事情，现在并没有充份的证据，只是传言。她披露，上星期她跟王功权太太曹女士通电话的时候，听说王功权的状态还比较正常。当时他已经受到86次审讯。
王瑛表示，即使王功权认罪也不奇怪。因为认罪和认错，不是一回事。
王瑛：“我觉得认罪和认错，这个差距很大的。因为中国的这些宪法，包括各种法律的规定，可能一个认罪的人会说，我认罪，因为你法律是这样规定的。这是有可能的。可是我不认为是我错。”
王瑛透露，王功权早就想到参与公民运动可能遭到独裁政权的牢狱之灾。他对同道们半真半假的说过，如果谁被抓、认罪甚至是彼此揭发，大家都要给予谅解。
王瑛：“以王功权这个人的性格和他的理念，在这种伤害（别人）、和自己是否保持个人气节之间去做选择，王功权一定是选择保护他人，而不会去为了强调要保持自己的个人气节和形象去伤害其他人。”
最近一段时间以来，名人上《央视》认罪似乎成为一种“惯例”。美籍华人、微博名人薛蛮子，广州《新快报》记者陈永洲，都穿着囚衣在屏幕上忏悔。就连房地产大亨潘石屹，也被强迫在《央视》镜头前，结结巴巴的表态，支持政府打压谣言的决定。
北京政论学者陈子明认为，《央视》逼人认罪是“文化大革命”的再现。
陈子明：“这个事情我觉得是在恢覆文化大革命的一系列侮辱人格的做法，比如戴高帽，弯腰，游街，这是一种现代的游街，戴高帽，开批斗会。完全是违背人权准则的。而且也没有什么作用。只能是暴露了他们这些做这种事的人的嘴脸，法西斯嘴脸。”
王瑛认为，《央视》上的任何所谓“认罪”都不是真的。
王瑛：“它是剪接出来的人想说什么，而不是在那上面说话的人想说什么。因为他完全没有任何可能把一个现场直播给电视。他有什么意义呀？他现在已经是批捕了的，在一个刑事诉讼程序当中的一个犯罪嫌疑人，还正在程序当中，却在电视上播他有罪。这件事情本身不是在说明谁有罪吗？是谁有罪啊？可能破坏法制的人有罪。他破坏一个国家法制的基础，这个罪可大了去了。”
王功权和王瑛，都是成功的投资家、企业家，为什么他们会积极投入到公民运动当中？王瑛表示，中国社会能够往前前进，企业家的人身权和财产权，必须获得充分保证，那是不可或缺的一部分。

Investor and Activist’s Guilty Plea “Doesn’t Mean Confession”
Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post (SCMP) says
jailed Chinese joint venture investor and human rights activist
Wang Gongquan has admitted to “crimes of disturbing public
order” as alleged by Beijing police authorities.
Meanwhile, a video file of his statement may be played
on China Central TV (CCTV).
Mr. Wang ‘s close friend told NTD reporters that
“pleading guilty doesn’t amount to a confession.”
In addition, to force a suspect who is still undergoing
the criminal investigation procedure to plead guilty on CCTV
just allows people to discern who is actually committing crimes.
On Dec. 5th, SCMP reported that Wang Gongquan, a noted
entrepreneur and co-founder of the New Citizen movement,
has admitted to allegations from Beijing Police authorities
after being confined for almost three months.
An SCMP reporter also watched the video showing
a weary looking Wang Gongquan saying he will
sever his relationship with and draw a line between himself
and Xu Zhiyong, a fellow activist and jailed legal scholar.
Wang Gongquan also said he would “voluntarily dismiss”
the legal services of defense lawyer Chen Youxi.
Insiders say the video of his “guilty plea” will be probably
broadcast on CCTV so as to validate his willing to
cooperate with CCP authorities for a lighter punishment.
SCMP cites sources who say they suspect that
Wang Gongquan was abused during the custody center.
Wang Ying (no relation), former chairman of Beijing-based
Zhongheng Juxin Investment Fund Management Co.,
is undertaking the citizen movement with Wang Gongquan.
She told NTD there’s been no confirmation
of Wang Gongquan pleading guilty, and that those are rumors.
She says last week she called Mr. Wang ‘s wife Ms. Cao,
who said Mr. Wang ‘s status was normal.
By then, Mr. Wang had been interrogated 86 times.
Wang Ying says that even if Mr. Wang pleaded guilty,
it is not odd, because pleading guilty and
acknowledging wrongdoing are not the same.
Wang Ying: “I think there is a major gap between
pleading guilty and admitting the mistake because of
China’s constitution and all sorts of other legal regulations.
It might be in such a case that an arrested person may say
‘I plead the guilty because your legal regulations are this way,
but I still don’t think that I am wrong.’”
Wang Ying says Mr. Wang had long thought his involvement
in the citizen movement may land him in the totalitarian
regime’s jails.
He also joked half seriously with his fellow colleagues,
that if one among them were arrested,
pleads guilty or even blows the whistle on each other,
everyone should show understanding.
Wang Ying: “Based on Wang Gongquan ‘s personality
and his beliefs, if given the choice between hurting others and
keeping his own integrity, Wang would certainly
choose to protect others rather than hurt others to insist on his
own integrity and image”.
In the recent period, having celebrities plead guilty on CCTV
seems to have become a sort of “custom”.
Chinese-American Weibo celebrity Charles Xue and
Guangzhou-based New Express Daily reporter Chen Yongzhou
pleaded guilty on CCTV in prisoner uniforms.
Even property tycoon Pan Shiyi was forced to stammeringly
express his attitude way on CCTV to support the decision
of the government suppressing so-called rumors.
Beijing political scholar Chen Ziming says
CCTV’s forcing people to plead guilty
is a recurrence of Cultural Revolution.
Chen Zimin: “I feel this is a reinstatement of the series
of personal attacks seen during the Cultural Revolution,
when they had people put on dunce caps and bend at the waist,
parading them in the streets while criticizing them violently.
To plead guilty on CCTV is a modern version of parading
them in the streets, completely violating human rights norms.
But even so, it’s no use, and can only serve to expose
the real fascist face of those people doing this. ”
Wang Ying says none of the so-called
“pleading guilty” cases on CCTV are genuine.
Wang Ying: “This is produced by an editor, rather than
the word from that person. Because there is absolutely no way
for them broadcast that on live TV. What does it mean?
The person is already under arrest and a suspect in a
criminal investigation. He is being investigated.
Yet during this critical period they’re broadcasted as guilty.
Doesn ‘t this incident itself show who’s committed a crime?
Who’s committed the crime here?
Perhaps it’s the one who has destroyed the foundation
of an entire nation’s legal system.
This crime is too great.”
Wang Gongquan and Wang Ying are both successful investors
and entrepreneurs, why did they actively join
the Citizen Movement?
Wang Ying says entrepreneurs’ having their personal rights
and property rights fully guaranteed is indispensable
to having Chinese society develop forward.
