【新唐人2014年09月15日讯】广东惠州市博罗县上万民众举行游行示威,抗议政府不顾民意、坚持在惠州龙潭底建设全国最大的垃圾焚烧厂。游行队伍有的在博罗县抗议,有的去惠州市示威。当局调来大批警察和特警驱散民众,打伤、抓捕多人。请看报导。
13号上午9点左右,博罗县约2万市民打着横幅在城区游行,抗议政府在龙潭底兴建每天焚烧2600吨的垃圾厂。横幅写道:“反对垃圾焚烧场选址不当,博罗人民团结起来,保护家园!”、“坚决反对建垃圾场,誓死保卫美好家园”、“反对在东江边缘建垃圾焚烧厂”等。
参加游行的广州维权人士李小玲表示,民众准备到20多公里以外的惠州市去抗议,但在博罗县就遭到了当局的阻击。
广州维权人士李小玲:“我们12点半到现场的时候,第一批的那些游行的人,大概二万多个人,他们第一被冲散了。第二个是它是用切豆腐的行式,就是把游行的群众一块一块的切断再驱散。”
李小玲说,博罗县下午的雨很大,但在县政府附近,仍然有4、5千名群众坚持抗议。下午两点钟左右,当局调来了3千警察和特警,开始驱散民众,不离开的就打,有人拍摄还被抢手机。
李小玲说,当场有十几个人被抓。去惠州市游行的人被抓的更多,据说有20多人。
而网友则披露,在博罗县对民众下令打抓的,是县公安局副局长纪丽文。
中国天网人权事务中心负责人黄琦:“在中国大陆新建的一些设施,包括一些引起民间愤怒的一些设施,它本身后面就涉及到一些利益集团的相关利益。而在这过程中,民众揭露问题以后,官方无法面对。特别是当民众大规模聚集起来抗议的时候,他们为了短期将这种事情压制下来,往往是采取动用武力。”
中国天网人权事务中心负责人黄琦表示,当局最近10年经常动用警力,镇压群体事件,结果老百姓现在再也不相信政府了。
其实,在前年11月,当局拟定把垃圾焚烧厂选址在博罗县湖镇新作塘村时,就引起了村民的强烈反对。去年6月27号,新作塘村的几百名村民去镇政府抗议,当局也是派出上百名全副武装的防暴警察镇压。
参加游行的博罗县居民曾先生表示,当地老百姓百分之百反对修建垃圾焚烧厂。最主要因为会污染周边的环境,并使癌症流行。曾先生说,游行现场甚至有几名老太太,要用自杀来抗议当局的行动。
博罗县居民曾先生:“每个有良知、有良心的人都会参加这个活动。因为建这个垃圾场对污染环境很大。第二个,垃圾焚烧的话,这个地点在城市里面,靠近城市。”
李小玲亲自去查看了垃圾场焚烧厂选址的地方,她表示,焚烧厂离珠江才1600米,而珠江是几百万民众的饮水源。另外,焚烧厂四周也都是高层商品房住宅区。
环保志愿者张峻峰:“垃圾焚烧厂对水资源的危害到不是特别明显,实际上它主要的危害是空气的危害,矛盾最尖锐的地方,就是关于二噁英的问题。”
环保志愿者张峻峰指出,垃圾焚烧是目前世界上最常见的做法。但是垃圾中含有的石油附属产品,例如橡胶、塑胶袋等,焚烧后会产生二噁英。以中国目前的处理技术水平,很难把它降到非常低。那么,焚烧厂周边的方圆十几公里之内,会成为癌症的高发区。
张峻峰建议,中共当局可以学习日本的方法,就是把政府大楼和垃圾焚烧厂建在一起。这是政府让公众打消疑虑,说服百姓,垃圾焚烧是安全的最好做法。

Thousands Suppressed in Guangdong Protest against Incineration Plant
Thousands of residents from Huizhou city, Guangdong
marched and protested against the government building
a big garbage incineration plant in Loutiandi, Huizhou.
Some people protested in Boluo and
some went to protest in Huizhou city.
The authorities sent a lot of police and special agents
to disperse and beat the protesters.
Please read the report below.
Sep 13, about 20,000 residents from Boluo held banners
and paraded in the city protesting the government building
a garbage incineration plant in Longtiandi.
The plant would burn 2,600 tons of garbage per day.
The banners say “No garbage incineration plant here;
Bohuo people unite to protect our homes!”
“Strongly resist building incineration plant;
Defend our beautiful homes with our lives”,
and “No to incineration plant near Dongjiang River”.
Li Xiaoling, human rights activist and one of the protesters,
said people were planning to protest in Huizhou,
more than 20 kilometers away.
But were stopped by the authorities in Boluo County.
Li Xiaoling: “When we arrived there at 12:30,
the first batch of protesters (about 20,000 people)
were already dispersed.
Just like cutting tofu, they cut the parade team into segments
and then dispersed them.”
Li Xiaoling said that though it rained very hard at the time,
4 or 5 thousand still protest before the government building.
The authorities sent about 3,000 police and
special agents to scatter people.
Those who didn’t leave, were beaten by the police.
When some people tried to take pictures,
police took their cell phones away.
Li Xiaoling said that about 10 people were arrested.
About 20 who went to protest in Huizhou were arrested.
Some internet users disclosed that the person
who gave the order to arrest and beat protesters was Ji Liwen,
Deputy Director of the County Public Security Bureau.
Huang Qi, director of 64tianwang.com,
“Some new facilities, including those that incur people’s protest,
involve the interests of certain groups.
In the process, when problems are disclosed by ordinary people,
the authorities are not able to face them.
Especially when a lot of people gather together to protest
they usually use force to suppress them.”
Huang Qi stated that in the recent 10 years, the party always
uses armed forces to suppress protest groups. So ordinary
people have completely lost confidence in government.
November 2012, when a garbage incineration plant was
planned for Xinzuotang village, Hu Town, Boluo County,
it triggered people’s strong resistance as well.
Jun 27, 2013, when hundreds of residents from Xizuotang
village went to the town government to protest,
the authorities sent hundreds of armed police
to suppress them.
Mr. Zeng, a resident of Boluo who joined the march,
said local residents completely opposed the building
of a garbage incineration plant.
The main reason, the plant will pollute the area
and cancers will run rife.
Mr. Zeng, “Everyone with conscience should take part
in the protest because first, the plant will severely pollute
the environment.
Second, where garbage would be burnt is very close to the city. ”
Li Xiaoling went to check the plant location in person.
He said that the plant is only 1,600 meters from Zhujiang River,
which is the source of drinking water for millions of people.
In addition, the place is surrounded by tall residential buildings.
Zhang Junfeng, volunteer for environmental protection,
“Garbage incineration plants have little impact on water.
The main hazard is the pollution of the air.
The most dangerous part is from Dioxin.”
Zhang Junfeng stated now incineration is a regular way
to get rid of garbage.
However, there are normally affiliated petroleum products
in the garbage, like rubber and plastic bags,
which will produce Dioxin after being burnt.
So the neighborhood about ten kilometers away
will be the area where cancers can develop most.
Zhang Junfeng suggested that the party can learn from Japan
by building incineration plants nearby government buildings.
This way, the government can dispel people’s doubts and fears.
It is the best way to burn garbage.
