傳媒工作者被襲 業界集體報案
News industry file reports collectively on assault of newsman
Now新聞台工程人員李小龍在旺角協助同事採訪期間,被警方以襲警之名制服,頭及身體多處受傷。最後,李小龍被扣查逾24小時後,獲無條件釋放,警方仍保留檢控權利。
On Tuesday evening, 25 November 2014, an engineer of NOW TV news, Li Siu-lung, was subdued by police officers for allegedly assaulting a police officer while he was carrying out reporting duties with colleagues in Mong Kok. He suffered multiple injuries to his head and body during the process. After more than 24 hours of detention, Mr Li was released unconditionally, but the police have stressed it retains the right to prosecute in the future.
自佔領運動以來,部分警務人員屢以敵視態度面對傳媒,各大組織多番與警方高層交涉亦未見有任何改善,今次拘捕和襲擊記者更是變本加厲,打壓新聞自由。昨晚警方再一次以襲警之名拘捕正在採訪的蘋果日報攝影記者。我們相信在往後的日子,類似的警民衝突情況必定陸續發生,新聞工作者亦繼續面對更大的威脅,所以我們不能袖手旁觀。
Since the Occupy Movement started, some police officers have been antagonizing the media. Despite repeated dialogue between various media organizations and senior police management, the situation has not improved. It has, in fact, worsened with the recent arrests and assaults on reporters. These arrests and assaults are a suppression of a free press. Yesterday, police arrested a cameraman of Apple Daily for allegedly assaulting a police officer. We believe that there will be more confrontations between the police and the public in the near future, and journalists will face even greater threats. We can no longer look on and do nothing.
