香港反送中集会 维文：未有国人受影响或受伤
外交部长维文针对议员提问，今日在国会指出，截至目前为止，未有国人在香港受到集会冲突的影响或受伤。
他说，外交部也建议到香港旅游的国人，避开集会场地，“即便是和平集会，也有演变成冲突的可能。”
他也劝告旅居或在港公干的国人保持警惕，遵守当地法律，并多留意来自媒体报导和新加坡驻港领事馆的通知。
维文透露，估计有1万5000名新加坡人旅居香港，如国人有需要帮助应立即联系领事馆。
但他表示，通常只有五分之一的人会主动到外交部官网登记，目前有向该部登记的旅港国人仅为三千人。他解释，鼓励国人在外交部官网登记，并不是要追踪他们的行程，而是能让他们在必要时向外交部求助，或提供更新资讯。
香港“反送中”集会自六月以来延烧至今，昨日也迎来“三罢”、七地集会及不合作运动，被认为是“反送中”风潮至今规模最大的抗争行动。当地警方称，从6月9日截至昨日凌晨，合共拘捕420 人，并释放约一千发催泪弹。
