【禁聞】艾未未失蹤兩週 家人要求依法辦事

【新唐人2011年4月16日訊】在艾未未失蹤近兩個星期之後,中國官方媒體開始對艾未未進行批判指責。艾未未的家人對本臺記者表示,他們現在選擇沉默,要求政府「依法辦事」。另一方面,北京藝術家計劃聲援艾未未的行動卻受到警方阻撓。

中國著名藝術家艾未未自4月3號從北京機場消失後,至今已經12天。香港《大公報》和《文匯報》在14號的報導中,批評艾未未犯有偷稅漏稅,重婚以及傳播淫穢物品罪等等,還表示艾未未已經對所犯下的罪行「交代問題」。

對於媒體的各項指責,艾未未的姐姐高閣表示,官方從未按照法律程序正面回應家人,一味進行輿論抹黑,他們現在只有保持沉默。

高閣(艾未未姐姐):「現在所有的官方報紙在組織對艾未未這部分的指責也好,罪行也好,都不是來自於官方。我們也沒有收到官方或者政府或者國家比如公安部門的任何一個字的通知。所以我們現在對這一切都表示沉默。要求政府按照法律辦事。」

面對媒體報導艾未未涉嫌經濟詐騙案,身為艾未未公司法人的路青指出,政府稅務部門本身違反法律程序,扣押了公司的財務資料。

路青(艾未未妻子):「他們之前已經把所有公司會計室裡面所有的資料都已經扣押走了。那是8號的事。12號讓我到那兒去,我是法人,有一個筆述,讓我提供相關資料。我甚麼都提供不出來,因為他們把東西都已經先扣押走。」(此外,根據艾未未工作室助手劉艷萍的說詞,公司會計已經失蹤7天。她還披露,國保曾經多次向艾未未傳話,說上面可以請他當政協委員,但遭到艾未未拒絕。

劉艷萍(艾未未助手):「就在他走(失蹤)的前一天,我見到他,他親口跟我說的。國保跟他傳話的時候多次說過讓他當政協委員。他沒有同意。」

艾未未是北京鳥巢體育館的設計者,在藝術界名聲響亮。北京一群藝術家原來計劃16號舉行代號「一個行動」的集體曬太陽活動,要求當局釋放艾未未,但消息被當局截獲,其中兩名藝術家王軍與文皆已經被公安帶走,現在下落不明,他們所在的沙龍也被當局仔細搜查。

艾未未失蹤一事受到國際廣泛關注。

流亡歐洲的中國詩人貝嶺,起草了一封「致國務院總理溫家寶」的公開信,並在各國發動聯署,信中直指艾未未被捕,溫家寶要負起直接責任,這封公開信已經獲得捷克前總統哈維爾的領銜簽署。

德國的政治界也集體對艾未未發出聲援。德國《圖片報》採訪了德國主要幾位政治家。

其中德國外長韋斯特韋勒表示,自由發表言論的權利和藝術自由是非常寶貴的財富。德國政府已向中方要求澄清這一事件。

德國反對黨「社民黨」主席加布裡爾則指出,偉大而自豪的中國人民正處於經濟,文化和政治變革之中,德國覺得自己是中國的朋友和夥伴。但是,恰恰是在朋友和夥伴之間,當為所慾為和不公正危及這個變革時,就不能保持沉默。

Family of Ai Weiwei Call for Justice

Two weeks after Ai Weiwei』s disappearance, Chinese

official media began to criticize Ai. The family of Ai

said they chose to be silent, but requested the authority

to follow due legal procedures in handling Ai』s case.

On the other hand, the action of Beijing artists

to support Ai Weiwei was impeded by police.

It has been 12 days since Ai Weiwei disappeared

in Beijing Airport on Apr. 3. Hong Kong』s Ta Kung Pao

and Wen Wei Po criticized Ai on Apr. 14 for tax evasion,

bigamy and dissemination of pornographic materials,

claiming Ai has “admitted” the foregoing crimes.

Ai』s sister, Gao Ge, said the authorities never talked to

Ai』s family members but unilaterally smeared Ai.

Ai』s family had no other choices but remained silent.

Gao Ge: "All the accusations of Ai Weiwei on media

were not officially conducted. We did not receive any

notice from the authorities or any related departments

such as the Public Security Bureau. So, we have to

remain silent now. We request that the government

follow legal procedures in handling Ai Weiwei』s case."

As for media』s accusation of Ai for financial frauds,

Lu Qing, legal contact of Ai Weiwei』s company, said,

the taxation office itself violated the law by confiscating

the accounting documents of the company.

Lu Qing: "On Apr. 8, they took away all the accounting

documents of this company. On Apr. 12, they summoned

me as a legal contact, interrogated me with recording.

They asked me to provide them with related information,

but I was not able to, since they had taken everything."

Liu Yanping, an assistant in Ai』s workshop, said

the accountant of the company disappeared 7 days ago.

The authorities repeatedly invited Ai to be a local member

of the Chinese political consultative committee,

but were turned down by Ai.

Liu: "The day before his disappearance, he told me

in person that the authorities asked him several times

to take the foregoing position, but he declined."

Ai Weiwei is one of the designers for the Beijing Olympic

stadium. He is highly regarded in China』s art circle.

A group of Beijing artists planed to carry out a group

sun-tanning activity called “An Action”, requesting

the release of Ai Weiwei, but the police intercepted

the info and arrested two artists Wang Jun and Wen Jie.

Their art salons were also ransacked by the police.

The disappearance of Ai Weiwei sparked wide attention

throughout the world.

Bei Ling, a Chinese poet exiling in Europe drafted an

open letter to Premier Wen Jiabao and circulated it

among European countries for signature. The letter

said, if Ai were arrested, Wen will be held responsible.

Former Czech Republic president Javier first signed it.

German political circle also voiced to support Ai.

The German Bild interviewed several major politicians:

German Foreign Minister Westerwelle said, The rights

for free speech and art expression are precious.

Germany has requested China to clarify this incident.

Sigmar Gabriel, chairman of the Social Democratic

Party of Germany pointed out, The great Chinese people

are in the economic, cultural and political changes.

Germany is a friend and partner of China, so when

despots and injustice are jeopardizing the changes,

Germany should not remain silent.
