【新唐人2014年04月22日讯】流亡美国的中国民运人士杨建利,日前接受香港“支联会”主席李卓人的邀请,前往香港参加全球首家“六四纪念馆”试展活动,结果遭到强制遣返。据了解,这是杨建利第四次被香港拒绝入境。李卓人表示,香港政府是根据中共当局提供的黑名单瓣事,尤其今年是“六四”25周年,中国民运人士要想入境香港更加困难。
19号晚上9点多,杨建利由美国经台北飞抵香港,准备出席20号举行的“六四纪念馆”传媒预展,结果被香港入境处扣查近4个小时,之后被遣返台湾。
香港入境处在接受媒体查询时,拒绝说明为何拒绝杨建利入境,杨建利对英国广播公司《BBC》中文网表示,他仍持有中国护照,按照规定可过境香港,逗留7天,这说明香港存在所谓“入境黑名单”,然而这是来自北京的名单。
作为律师,曾前往机场协助杨建利的香港“民主党”立法会议员何俊仁透露,入境处职员一直拖延时间,令人感到他们需要向香港以外的人“请示”。
旅美中国社会问题研究人士张健﹔“从香港回归之后,香港的特区政府,从原来一个中国的奴才,已经变成一个中国的帮凶,号称一个自由开放民主的特区,竟然害怕一个民主自由的斗士,拒绝杨建利博士入境,这是非常荒唐的。”
杨建利出生于中国山东省,1986年留学美国,1989年曾回国参加“六四”天安门“反腐败、要民主”的学生运动,他亲眼目睹了中共军队开枪射杀无辜学生,以及学生被坦克车辗死的惨状。杨建利对香港《苹果日报》透露,他原计划20号参观“六四纪念馆”时,向在场人士分享他的这段经历。
因声援“六四”学运,杨建利被中共当局列入拒绝入境的49人黑名单,杨曾在1996年和1999年,两次申请返回中国大陆,都遭到拒绝。
2002年,杨建利回国争取异议人士“回家”的权利,结果被抓。2004年5月,杨建利被中共当局以间谍罪和非法入境,判囚五年,后经海外组织营救,于2007年4月获释。此后,杨建利先后在2008、2009和2011年试图入境香港,但都没有成功。这一次是他第四次尝试进入香港。
邀请杨建利到港的香港“支联会”主席李卓人,对杨被拒绝入境感到愤怒。
香港支联会主席李卓人:“香港现在没有自主的入境政策,要问过北京,香港就根据黑名单拒绝民运人士进来香港,当然我们是非常的愤怒,中共在香港控制了我们的入境政策,所以他每次都不可以进来。另外,王丹、吾尔开希,现在还在参与民运的,都不可以进来香港。尤其今年是六四25周年,是一个敏感的年,他们要进来就更困难。”
李卓人表示,今年是“六四”25周年,北京十分紧张,“支联会”网站数度被骇客入侵,筹办的“六四纪念馆”也遭到中共打压。
李卓人:“六四纪念馆也遭到本地的打压,有两个业主要告我们,我们觉得这一定是背后有政治的目地。我们不知道和北京有没有关系,因为没有证据,但是,一般的商人不会用自己的钱去做这些事,因为我们不会影响它们的生意,有人出钱是很明显的,那谁出钱,我们觉得很大的可能是中共的打压。”
张健﹔“现在,整个香港政府的运作完全是按照中共的意旨,中共的意识形态渗透到香港的方方面面,所以香港政府拒绝杨建利博士入境,其最主要的原因就是在(六四)25周年的风口浪尖上,它不要再给自己添乱,让所有民主的声音都挡在香港自由贸易港口之外,香港特区政府绝对是遭到人民所唾弃的。”
4度无法进入香港的杨建利向媒体表示,他会不断的试下去,总有一天他会进入香港,而且,总有一天他会回到中国大陆,再次回到天安门广场,那是他的心愿。

Yang Jianli Refused Entry to Hong Kong Again
Dr. Yang Jianli is an exiled Chinese
democratic activist living in the U.S.
Dr Yang accepted an invitation from Lee Cheuk-yan,
Chairman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of
Patriotic Democratic Movement in China (HK Alliance)
The invitation was to participate in a media preview of
the world’s first June 4 Memorial Museum in Hong Kong.
However, Dr. Yang was forcibly repatriated, marking the
fourth time Yang Jianli was refused entry to Hong Kong.
Lee Cheuk-yan believes the Hong Kong
government adheres to blacklists provided
by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the June 4 massacre.
Currently, it is very difficult for pro-
democracy activists to enter Hong Kong.
Yang Jianli arrived at Hong Kong airport at
21:00 on April 19, from the United States, via Taipei.
He was travelling to attend a media preview
of the June 4 Memorial Museum on April 20.
He was detained for nearly four hours in Hong Kong
Immigration Department, and repatriated to Taiwan.
The Hong Kong Immigration Department declined
to explain why they refused entry to Yang Jianli.
Yang Jianli told BBC Chinese network
that he still holds a valid Chinese passport.
He should be allowed to enjoy a 7-day
transit visa exemption at ports of entry.
However, the refusal of entry proves that there is
a blacklist at HK Immigration, provided by Beijing.
HK Legislative Council Albert Ho Chun-yan had
traveled to the airport to assist Yang Jianli as a lawyer.
He indicated that immigration officers were delaying,
and seemed to wait for instructions from outside of HK.
Zhang Jian, China social issue researcher: “Since HK
was returned to China, the HK government has become
an accomplice, shifting from its former role as subordinate.
As a special administrative region of liberalism
and democracy, it is frightened of a democratic
fighter and rejects the entry of Dr. Yang Jianli.
This is very absurd."
Yang Jianli was born in Shandong Province, China.
He went to the United States to study in 1986, and
had returned to China to participate in the 1989
student democracy movement in Tiananmen Square.
He witnessed as the Chinese military shot and
killed innocent students, and saw the horror
scenes of students being rolled over by tanks.
Yang Jianli told Hong Kong’s Apple Daily that he had
planned to visit the June 4 Memorial Museum on April 20.
There, he would share his experiences.
The CCP had listed Yang Jianli as one of the
49 people to be refused entry to China, because
of his solidarity to the Tiananmen student movement.
He was already been refused entry
to China previously in 1996 and 1999.
In 2002, Yang Jianli returned to China to fight for the
rights of dissidents to ‘return home’, but was arrested.
In May 2004, Yang Jianli was sentenced in China to 5 years
imprisonment on charges of espionage and illegal entry.
Overseas rescue efforts saw Yang released in April 2007.
Since then, Yang Jianli has tried to enter
HK in 2008, 2009 and 2011, but to no avail.
This is now his fourth attempt to enter Hong Kong.
HK Alliance Chairman Lee Cheuk-yan
was very angry about this refusal of entry.
Lee Cheuk-yan, Chairman of the HKAlliance: “Hong Kong
has lost its independent immigration policy to China.
It has refused entry of significant figures
based on the black list from China.
Of course, we are very mad that the CCP
is controlling our immigration policies.
He has been refused every time.
People like Wang Dan and Wuer kaixi,
who are still involved in the pro-democracy
movement, cannot come to Hong Kong either.
For the 25th anniversary of Tiananmen, this year is
particularly sensitive and hard for them to enter Hong Kong."
Lee Cheuk-yan says Beijing is very tense this year
over the 25th anniversary of the June 4 massacre.
The HK Alliance website was subject
to numerous hacking attack this year.
The June 4 Memorial Museum has
also faced suppression from the CCP.
Lee Cheuk-yan: “The June 4 Memorial
has also met with local pressure.
There are two owners who are claiming to sue us.
We believe there are political agendas behind this.
We don’t know if it is related to Beijing,
as we currently lack evidence of this.
But, ordinary businessmen would not
do things like this with their own money.
Our Memorial Museum does not affect their businesses.
It’s obvious that someone is paying for their legal costs.
We think it is very likely the CCP is
paying it to suppress the Museum."
Zhang Jian: “Now, the entire operation of the Hong Kong
Government is in accordance with the wishes of the CCP.
The CCP’s ideology has penetrated
into all aspects of Hong Kong.
The main reason for the Hong Kong government
to refuse entry to Dr. Yang Jianli was to avoid
any troubles during the 25th Anniversary.
The HK government has absolutely been scorned
by the people for shutting out all democratic voices."
Dr Yang Jianli told the media that after being
rejected four times by HK, he will continue to try.
It is his wish to return to China
and visit Tiananmen Square again.
