港人罢工罢课聚立法会外堵《逃犯条例》修法二读

苹果动新闻直播截图

香港立法会于今日(12日)二读《逃犯条例》修订草案,引来大批港民聚集立法会外,防堵“反送中”修法二读通过。

一些民众从昨晚就通宵驻扎现场。今早大约八时左右,就有大批集会人士冲出龙和道占领道路。警方简报则表示,有集会人士包围警车和私家车,车辆遭袭击和破坏,令被包围人士有生命危险。

此外,警方指龙和道和添华附近有大批人士聚集,准备冲击警方防线,并呼吁集会者离开,别无选择情况下会用适当武力保护防线。

而截至上午11时25分,苹果动新闻报导仍有不少民众前来金钟广场,但现场情况仍算平静。

至于民间人权阵线则在脸书发文指立法会秘书处发出通知,今日会议改制稍后时间进行,而立法会如复会民阵会继续直播。

民阵也重申三点呼吁,即:林郑月娥为首的特区政府必须撤回逃犯条例修订;全港市民继续支持反对送中运动,继续前来的市民,请坚守和平非暴力,在现场互相照顾,尤其是长者和学生;

以及呼吁警方执勤必须保持克制,不能挑衅和平集会的市民。

罢工、罢市、罢课

据了解,昨日就有多达72间中学学生发动罢课,52个社会福利、宗教团体发起在今日罢工,以及历届大专学生会发表声明,呼吁市民在612罢工、罢市罢课,密切留意立法会内外的师太进展,形容“送中恶法等同将香港与中国司法屏障一夜尽毁”。

港人“反送中”背景(参考此前报导):

此次修订条例是由2018年一起发生于台湾的香港命案所引起,碍于台湾与香港间并无司法互助安排,无法将嫌犯移交台湾受审,故香港保安局期望能修例。

截至今日,香港的罪犯移交条例仍援用1997年回归之前的安排,与20个国家签订长期的引渡条例协议,其中并不包括中国、澳门及台湾。其他地区若提出移交嫌犯申请,需逐个个案经立法会审批。

而修订条例后,全球便可向香港提出移交申请,只要疑犯在移交地犯下其中37项罪行,特首便可授权后,将单次移交疑犯。

对于修例为何引起大批港民的反弹,其主要原因为,港民忧心修例后将会引发不公平审讯,尤其在中国司法并未独立的情况下,香港疑犯很可能会被移交到中国接受审讯,并且打开从香港引渡疑犯的缺口,影响香港的新闻自由与营商环境。

另外,港民认为缺乏立法会审批的移交过程,程序过于简单,中国可以轻易要求香港将疑犯移交到中国受审。

立法机关在建制派议席占优势的情况下,如果没有任何建制派议员选择弃权或反对,难以阻挡草案获得通过。
