原憧憬李光耀口中平等正义 光谱行动前拘留者:被捕时大梦初醒

32年前的5月21日,有16人在清晨时分,在当权者的代号光谱行动中,以内安法令未经审讯下被扣留。政府指他们涉及“马克思主义阴谋”,企图颠覆和夺取政权。 被捕者包括天主教义工、社工、大学毕业生和专业人士等。一个月后,又有另外六人落网。逮捕发生后,人权机构、教会、外国政府、国内外个人、媒体等都表达抗议,被扣者亲友也反驳官方指控。 在1988年4月,九名被拘留者发表声明,驳斥政府对他们的指控,并确认他们曾经受到虐待。其中八人在隔天即被重新逮捕。 独立导演苏德祥(Jason Soo),在2015年创作了记录片《1987解开阴谋》(1987: Untracing the Conspiracy)中,由当年被拘留者娓娓道来当年被拘留的情节,以及他们所遭受的不公待遇。 为让群众紧记当年逮捕事件的黑暗,本地独立影院The Projector在前日重映《1987解开阴谋》纪录片,映后还请了三名前拘留者:刘月玲、陈智成和曾志成,也受邀参与与观众问答,分享那一段苦难经历和对现今时政的观点。 刘月玲表示,年轻时关注社会正义,所以求学时也曾积极参与学生运动,即便踏入社会也仍投身社会工作。她对于近期马芸偷拍事件发表看法,认为打自近年来政府打压校园学生运动后,如今的大学院方就连在对话会应付学生也显得笨拙, 即便学生也未能提出有意义的交流。究竟我们的社会怎么了?…
