【新唐人2014年12月01日讯】自香港当局下令对占中区域进行清场后，香港警方对占中人士暴力执法、滥用职权的行为不断被外界曝光。一个星期以来，香港又频频传出港警对占中现场的媒体工作者袭击施暴的消息。据港媒报导，香港大批媒体人士在忍无可忍的情况下，日前决定集体报案，捍卫新闻自由。
据香港《苹果日报》报导，香港记者协会、摄影记者协会、壹传媒工会、香港电台节目制作人员工会，以及大专新闻教育工作者联席等五个媒体组织，11月29号到湾仔警察总部，就连日来警方暴力袭击并无理拘捕“占中”采访记者的行为，发起集体报案行动。
摄影记者协会主席萧文超：“我们发起的这个活动的原因是因为我们集体采访旺角清场的活动的时候，很多的记者都受到警方暴力的对待，还有两个记者给他们用不同的罪名拘捕了。我们就觉得我们记者到现场去采访，要是你把我们赶离开这个地区，我们真的没办法去工作，也没有办法去勘察警察整体权力的情况，所以我们很担忧这个问题。”
据了解，被警方拘查的两名记者分别是now新闻台工程人员李小龙，和《苹果日报》的摄影记者王俊龙。其中，李小龙在被拘查27小时后被虽然无条件释放，但他的右耳有瘀伤及肿起，左眼皮亦有肿及明显的擦伤。
据参与报案的摄影记者协会主席萧文超介绍，这次报案行动得到了新闻从业人员和市民的支持，从早上9点到晚上，一直有人陆续到场，当天共有50多人前往报案。
有市民虽然没有前往报案，但手持“除黑警，灭暴力”等标语到场声援，并喊出了“支持采访自由，抗议警方滥权”等口号。
萧文超：“我们在现场的看法，就是我们觉得警方在清理的过程之中，很多时候不单止是市民，他们用不同的努力去推广这些记者离开（被驱离）现场的情况。”
萧文超说，很多报案的市民是警察施暴现场的目击者，他们在报案时向警方提供了光碟和拍摄录像等证据。但受理报案登记的警员只是在白纸上简单进行了记录，并没有正式录取口供就发出编号，对于报案者提交的可以作为证明的网上连结，警方也拒绝接受。
萧文超：“因为这个方法是我们现在想到最好、最理想的方法去报告我们的事。但是我们很好奇的是，为什么警方没有跟之前一般的报案程序一样，尝试着跟我们录口供，我们有点好奇，但是我们还不清楚这个细节会不会影响到案件的调查。”
“国际记者联合会”香港和中国区代表胡丽云：“香港警方在整个行动里面的表现，去监督警方有没有滥权的机构也值得怀疑态度。所以逼着香港媒体用这个方法去表达。”
此外，在11月29号，香港社会工作者总工会也号召社福同工和市民报案，得到210多名社福界从业员支持。《苹果日报》引述社总发言人吴伟钊的话称，过去数天，警方在旺角街头滥用暴力，以警棍殴打身处行人路上的市民，也屡次以敌视态度面对传媒，强烈谴责警方打压新闻自由。
类似的事件还有《苹果》摄影记者林宝益在旺角遭警方指其抢枪，15岁的《明报》校园记者在旺角被警察拳打脚踢等等。
据香港记者协会会长岑倚兰向《自由亚洲电台》证实，目前已经接获因记者采访“占中”行动而被袭击的案件多达20多宗。
对此，香港很多前线新闻工作者都表示了对采访安全的担忧。
胡丽云：“他们担心采访安全有必要，我们很清楚，先不说9月28日开始的行动那么远，我们就讲最近的25、26、27到昨天，也是不断的听到media（媒体）、journalist（记者）、cameraman或者photographer（摄影师），他们也不断给警察去推、去碰、还有就是用警棍打他们，没有必要打他们。”
除了香港记者以外，有海外媒体记者也遭到了香港警察袭击。据《自由亚洲电台》报导，11月26号，纽西兰亚洲电视台记者王宁在旺角弥敦道占领区警方清场进行拍摄时，遭到三名警察从后袭击，被按倒在地殴打、脚踢，导致腿部流血，背部及胳膊受伤，被送往医院救治。
王宁在接受《自由亚洲》记者采访时愤怒的说，他在美国、澳洲、纽西兰、新加坡、日本等全世界多个国家采访，没有见过警察对记者这样暴力的。王宁认为，香港现在的混乱和警察有关系，因为是警察在制造混乱。
“国际记者联合会”香港和中国区代表胡丽云说，她对于香港警方的表现表示遗憾，因为他们没有好好的理解香港《基本法》中有关新闻自由、言论自由、人权的政策及原则，也没有履行他们应该履行的职责。

Hong Kong News Industry Files Joint Reports
on Excessive Police Force.
Since the clearance of Occupy Central, the excessive police
force and abuse by the authorities has been exposed.
Last week, the journalists working at the scene were
regularly reported to been assaulted by police.
Hong Kong media revealed, the news industry has decided
to collectively file complaints to defend press freedom.
Five Hong Kong news groups have collectively filed reports
to police headquarters in Wan Chai on Nov. 29.
Apple Daily reported, they are the Hong Kong Journalists
Association, Hong Kong Press Photographers Association,
Next Media Trade Union, RTHK Programme Staff Union,
and Journalism Educators for Press Freedom.
The report was in relation to days of violent attacks
and arrests of newsmen during the clearance.
Tyrone Siu, Chairman of Hong Kong Press Photographers
Association, “The reason why we initiated this collective
report was that many of our newsmen were assaulted by
the police during the clear out in Mong Kok.
Two reporters were arrested on different charges.
Our reporters went to the scene on duties, but the move
to drive the reporters away made it hard for us to work.
We can’t observe how the police team has operated
its authority. We are very concerned about the problem."
The two reporters arrested were Now TV technician Li Siu-
lung and Apple Daily cameraman Wong Chun-lung.
Li Siu-lung was released without charge after being
detained for 27 hours.
But his right ear was swollen with bruises and left eyelid
also swollen with obvious abrasions.
Tyrone Siu explains that this joint complaint has received
support from the news industry and Hong Kongers.
From 9:00 AM to the evening, as many as 50 people
have shown up to report to the police.
There are also many people showing solidarity at the scene
with placards stating, “Eliminate dark police, Distinguish
the violence" and shouting slogans, “Support free press,
Oppose abusive police."
Tyrone Siu,"What we are seeing in the clearing is that, the
police are remove the protesters, and also the journalists."
Tyrone Siu says many people who reported to the police
are witnesses of the police brutal attacks.
They have provided evidence such as CD and videos.
But, the receiving police only made brief records on a piece
of white paper and issued an admission number without
formal recording of the testimony. The online proofs
submitted by eyewitnesses were also rejected.
Tyrone Siu, “We believe this is by far the best and most
ideal approach.
But, we ask why the police did not record the statements
like a routine procedure.
We are curious and not sure if these details would affect
the subsequent investigation of the case."
International Federation of Journalists Asia-Pacific project
manager Hu Liyun, “The entire operation of the police and
the agency that oversees abuse by the police force are
both questionable.
The media are forced to express their views this way."
Hong Kong Social Workers’ General Union also called on
reports from the people on Nov. 29.
More than 210 members of the Union have responded
to this call.
The Union spokesman told Apple Daily that in the past
several days, police have abused their power on the streets
of Mong Kok. They attacked pedestrians and antagonized
the media.
He strongly condemned the police suppression of free press.
Other similar incidents are:
Another Apple Daily cameraman Lam Po-yik, was accused
by an officer of trying to snatch his gun.
A 15-year old Ming Pao Daily News school reporter
was also kicked and beaten by the police in Mong Kok.
Sham Yee-lan, Chairperson of Hong Kong Journalists
Association, confirmed that more than 20 cases of assault
on journalists during their duties in the Occupy Central
have been reported.
Many Hong Kong frontline journalists have expressed
their safety concerns.
Hu Liyun, “They have reasons to worry about their safety.
We know that, since Sept. 28, there have been news of
media, journalists, cameramen or photographers being
pushed, attacked, and beaten with batons when there’s
absolutely no need to do so."
Many foreign media correspondents have also been
attacked by Hong Kong Police.
Radio Free Asia reported that a New Zealand reporter
Wang Ning was attacked by three policemen from behind
during the clear out in Mong Kok.
The police pushed him over, pressed his face to the ground,
kicked his legs and generally assaulted Wang.
His injuries were serious enough to require hospitalisation.
Wang spoke out, saying of all the places he visited, never
had the law enforcement treated him so.
He declared that Hong Kong’s chaos has been
caused by the police.
Hu Liyun expresses her regret about the Hong Kong
police behavior.
They do not have a proper understanding of Hong Kong Basic
Law regarding press freedom, freedom of speech, policies
and principles of human rights in China and Hong Kong,
and failed to fulfill duties they should carry out.
