【新唐人2014年12月01日訊】自香港當局下令對佔中區域進行清場後，香港警方對佔中人士暴力執法、濫用職權的行為不斷被外界曝光。一個星期以來，香港又頻頻傳出港警對佔中現場的媒體工作者襲擊施暴的消息。據港媒報導，香港大批媒體人士在忍無可忍的情況下，日前決定集體報案，捍衛新聞自由。
據香港《蘋果日報》報導，香港記者協會、攝影記者協會、壹傳媒工會、香港電臺節目製作人員工會，以及大專新聞教育工作者聯席等五個媒體組織，11月29號到灣仔警察總部，就連日來警方暴力襲擊並無理拘捕「佔中」採訪記者的行為，發起集體報案行動。
攝影記者協會主席蕭文超：「我們發起的這個活動的原因是因為我們集體採訪旺角清場的活動的時候，很多的記者都受到警方暴力的對待，還有兩個記者給他們用不同的罪名拘捕了。我們就覺得我們記者到現場去採訪，要是你把我們趕離開這個地區，我們真的沒辦法去工作，也沒有辦法去勘察警察整體權力的情況，所以我們很擔憂這個問題。」
據了解，被警方拘查的兩名記者分別是now新聞臺工程人員李小龍，和《蘋果日報》的攝影記者王俊龍。其中，李小龍在被拘查27小時後被雖然無條件釋放，但他的右耳有瘀傷及腫起，左眼皮亦有腫及明顯的擦傷。
據參與報案的攝影記者協會主席蕭文超介紹，這次報案行動得到了新聞從業人員和市民的支持，從早上9點到晚上，一直有人陸續到場，當天共有50多人前往報案。
有市民雖然沒有前往報案，但手持「除黑警，滅暴力」等標語到場聲援，並喊出了「支持採訪自由，抗議警方濫權」等口號。
蕭文超：「我們在現場的看法，就是我們覺得警方在清理的過程之中，很多時候不單止是市民，他們用不同的努力去推廣這些記者離開（被驅離）現場的情況。」
蕭文超說，很多報案的市民是警察施暴現場的目擊者，他們在報案時向警方提供了光碟和拍攝錄像等證據。但受理報案登記的警員只是在白紙上簡單進行了記錄，並沒有正式錄取口供就發出編號，對於報案者提交的可以作為證明的網上連結，警方也拒絕接受。
蕭文超：「因為這個方法是我們現在想到最好、最理想的方法去報告我們的事。但是我們很好奇的是，為甚麼警方沒有跟之前一般的報案程序一樣，嘗試著跟我們錄口供，我們有點好奇，但是我們還不清楚這個細節會不會影響到案件的調查。」
「國際記者聯合會」香港和中國區代表胡麗云：「香港警方在整個行動裏面的表現，去監督警方有沒有濫權的機構也值得懷疑態度。所以逼著香港媒體用這個方法去表達。」
此外，在11月29號，香港社會工作者總工會也號召社福同工和市民報案，得到210多名社福界從業員支持。《蘋果日報》引述社總髮言人吳偉釗的話稱，過去數天，警方在旺角街頭濫用暴力，以警棍毆打身處行人路上的市民，也屢次以敵視態度面對傳媒，強烈譴責警方打壓新聞自由。
類似的事件還有《蘋果》攝影記者林寶益在旺角遭警方指其搶槍，15歲的《明報》校園記者在旺角被警察拳打腳踢等等。
據香港記者協會會長岑倚蘭向《自由亞洲電臺》證實，目前已經接獲因記者採訪「佔中」行動而被襲擊的案件多達20多宗。
對此，香港很多前線新聞工作者都表示了對採訪安全的擔憂。
胡麗云：「他們擔心採訪安全有必要，我們很清楚，先不說9月28日開始的行動那麼遠，我們就講最近的25、26、27到昨天，也是不斷的聽到media（媒體）、journalist（記者）、cameraman或者photographer（攝影師），他們也不斷給警察去推、去碰、還有就是用警棍打他們，沒有必要打他們。」
除了香港記者以外，有海外媒體記者也遭到了香港警察襲擊。據《自由亞洲電臺》報導，11月26號，紐西蘭亞洲電視臺記者王寧在旺角彌敦道佔領區警方清場進行拍攝時，遭到三名警察從後襲擊，被按倒在地毆打、腳踢，導致腿部流血，背部及胳膊受傷，被送往醫院救治。
王寧在接受《自由亞洲》記者採訪時憤怒的說，他在美國、澳洲、紐西蘭、新加坡、日本等全世界多個國家採訪，沒有見過警察對記者這樣暴力的。王寧認為，香港現在的混亂和警察有關係，因為是警察在製造混亂。
「國際記者聯合會」香港和中國區代表胡麗雲說，她對於香港警方的表現表示遺憾，因為他們沒有好好的理解香港《基本法》中有關新聞自由、言論自由、人權的政策及原則，也沒有履行他們應該履行的職責。

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.
