《网络公民》总编许渊臣仍在警局接受调查

今早,五名警员到《网络公民》总编许渊臣(Terry Xu)住处,充公其台式电脑、手机和笔记型电脑等电子设备,致使本社英语网站至今无法更新。

警方是根据投报,指其中一篇由Willy Sum撰写的文章“The take away from Seah Kian Ping’s facebook post”,严重指控政府高层涉及贪腐,而援引刑事法典第21条(1)的刑事诽谤罪展开调查。

截至目前为止,许渊臣仍在警察总部广东民大厦接受调查,至今仍未获释。支持者仍在警局外等候许渊臣。

维权律师张素兰担忧,许渊臣可能被警方连续审问,依法可以48小时把许渊臣拘留在警局协助调查。

警方传召许渊臣到警局,后者也在今天下午3时20分报到。张素兰在脸书贴文指出,有关调查涉及一封读者分享的信件,含有涉嫌诽谤“高层人士”的内容。有关文章目前也已从网站移除。和许渊臣一起接受调查的则是上述文章的作者。

然而,张素兰质疑警方的调查有欠妥当,因为如果是涉及诽谤,为何需要动用五名警员,到其住处充公电脑设备?而且长时间拘留许渊臣二人?而不是直接把他们提控上庭?

她指责警方行为形同把警力浪费在调查诽谤罪行,而不是去应对真正危险的罪案。“应该让名誉受损的人士,自己在民事法庭澄清声誉。”

人在泰国出席新媒体研讨会的徐顺全,对于《网络公民》因许渊臣接受调查而暂停运作,感到震惊:

至于人民之声党领袖林鼎,无法接受警方在许渊臣住所扣押其工作器材的做法,呼吁各界给与许渊臣支持。

他说,如果是调查刑事诽谤,只能调查有关的诽谤文章,并不需要充公电子设备而导致《网络公民》完全无法运作。警方的行事已超出他们的权限范围也不符合查案需求。

“许渊臣是真正的爱国者,放弃了财富和安逸,一直无私地耕耘,让本国有一个独立媒体管道。这是吃力不讨好的,但他相信开拓民主、透明和问责监督的荆棘路,能打造更美好的社会。”

社运份子范国瀚也在贴文更新许渊臣的近况:
