澳洲港人社交群組遭舉報違反港區國安法 澳洲香港各業聯盟批評製造「白色恐怖」

港區國安法通過後，不但大大限制了香港本土的民主運動，就連在海外生活和拘留的港人都倍感壓力。近日，澳洲多家媒體報導，有居住在澳洲的人在香港警察的臉書頁面上舉報澳洲香港人的社交群組涉嫌違反港區國安法。SBS援引其中一個群組管理人形容，有人利用港區國安法製造「白色恐怖」，令所有人都恐懼。

周五（10日），澳洲香港各業聯盟發布新聞稿，譴責上述舉報行為，並稱該做法「嚴重威脅及破壞澳洲的言論自由，製造白色恐怖」。澳洲香港各業聯盟呼籲澳洲政府，調查這類破壞澳洲民主社會的行為，處分涉及外國勢力的違法行為並且剝奪其澳洲居留權。

以下是澳洲香港各業聯盟新聞稿全文：

澳洲港人網上群組被舉報 澳洲言論自由面臨威脅

澳洲互聯網上逾萬人的兩個香港人社交群組，最近被人向香港警方舉報，指涉嫌違反香港新近實施的「港區國安法」，要求香港警方對這些人士入境香港時進行處分。這項舉報已經立即在澳洲香港人社交群組造成惡劣影響，「澳洲香港各業聯盟」發言人批評這樣的舉報行為，嚴重威脅及破壞澳洲的言論自由，製造白色恐怖。

澳洲的香港人網上社交群組，7月8日瘋傳圖片，圖片中顯示有人向香港警方網頁舉報澳洲的兩大社交群組，指控群組中「很多人散播憎恨言論，不斷漠視新近實施的國安法」，「很多香港學生只是短暫停留在澳洲，最終會返回香港，因為違法應該受到懲處。」

這項舉報被發現之後，在網上已經立即有人批評此舉違反言論自由，如果不能接受言論自由，舉報者應該離開澳洲。

但舉報者看到這反駁，立即向香港警方再舉報提出這批評的人士，以及舉報澳洲網上另一港人社交群組，並自稱向香港警方作出舉報，是其本身的「言論自由」。

被向香港警方舉報的兩個澳洲香港人網上社交群組，一個已經成立近八年，成員高達一萬四千多人。另一個群組則成員一萬人，後者因為被舉報，已經把社群從「公開」，轉為「私人」以保障成員安全。

「澳洲香港各業聯盟」批評這樣的舉報，嚴重威脅及破壞澳洲的言論自由，甚至影響澳洲國民及持澳洲居留簽證者，踏足香港的人身安全。發言人呼籲澳洲政府，調查這類破壞澳洲民主社會的行為，處分涉及外國勢力的違法行為並且剝奪其澳洲居留權。

「澳洲香港各業聯盟」上月在全澳收集了七百七十多個簽名，包括來自商業、地產、工程、運輸、教育、醫護、傳媒、資訊科技等各行各業居澳港人及支持者， 向澳洲總理、外交部長、移民部長等遞交公開信，指出北京推出「港區國安法」違反了中英聯合聲明，促請澳洲政府重新檢討涉及澳洲與香港、澳洲與中國大陸之間的有關協議，並且制訂應變措施，增加香港移民配額等。

「澳洲香港各業聯盟」歡迎澳洲總理7月9日宣佈幫助香港人的有關簽證措施，歡迎澳洲政府宣佈擱置澳洲與香港之間的引渡協議。

 Australian Hong Kong online social groups were snitched!

Australia』s free speech under attack!

In Australia, two online social groups with over 24 thousand Hong Kong background members have been tipped-off to the Hong Kong police. The whisperers alleged members in the social groups have violated Hong Kong』s newly implemented National Security Law and requested the Hong Kong Police to arrest those members if they ever set foot in Hong Kong. The Australian Hong Kong Professionals Alliance (AHKPA) spokesperson criticized the snitching behaviour as it is threatening and destroying the freedom of speech in Australia and creating 「CCP Terror」 among the communities.

On July 8, the Australian Hong Kong online social groups posted images of the tip-off from the HK police website. In the pictures, the whisperer suggested that the social groups are 「spreading hate speech and are in fact continuing to ignore the new National Security Law」, the whisperer also went on about prosecutions most HK students are on temporary visas, they should be punished on their return to HK.

These comments have drawn a lot of attention in the online communities and some criticized the violation of free speech in Australia and some suggested the whisperer should leave Australia if they could not the concept of free speech and liberty.

The criticisms have led to another report by the whisperer to the HK police of another online social group. The whisperer then immediately mocked the responders, describing the reports as 「free speech」 rather than censorship.

Both compromised social groups are intended to provide a platform for Hong Kong Australians or visa holders to socialise, exchange ideas and share life experience in Australia. One of the social groups was founded 8 years ago with over 14 thousand members. The other has 10 thousand members and has recently changed its privacy setting from 「public」 to 「private」 in order to protect members』 personal details and safety.

AHKPA censures the behaviours of the whisperer. Their actions are undermining, threatening and destroying Australia』s freedom of speech as well as the safety of Australian citizens and visa holders. The AHKPA appeals to the Australian government for an investigation into such malignant behaviour, the foreign interference in our democratic society and the fact that the whisperers have rejected the values, rules and norms of Australia, and therefore shouldn』t benefit from membership of its citizenry.

Last month, AHKPA sent an open letter with over 700 signatures to the Australian Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and MPs. It pointed out that Beijing Central Government has breached the Sino-British Joint Declaration when it introduced the National Security Law. Due to the new legislations, we urged the Australian government for more actions concerning the possible threats from foreign interference and formulate contingency measures through revision and assessment on the validity of official documents made between Australia and Hong Kong, as well as between Australia and PR China.

AHKPA welcomes the announcements by the Prime Minister Scott Morrison on the 9th July that Australia would suspend its extradition agreement with HK in response to the NSL and extend temporary visas for Hong Kong people in the country.
