绿党Co-leader 加国会议员Russel Norman在今天国家副主席习近平访问国会即将进入国会大门时,高举西藏独立旗帜,高呼:“Freedom for Tibet (西藏自由独立)”。 习副主席开始步入国会会场时,有当时的中国保安试图用雨伞去遮挡他高喊的气焰和旗帜,之后,从one news播放的另外一个摄像机的镜头可以看出,当Russel Norman看到习副主席进入狭窄的国会入口前,手举西藏独立旗帜冲向习副主席,距离大概有一米多远时,被近身保镖用力推开,并压下他手中的旗帜。
Russel Norman之后接受了one news的头条采访,并且展示了,他被压下的西藏独立的旗帜和被习近平保镖推开时自己手上大米粒大小的刮伤放到了摄像机前展示。他明确表示,自己已经向国会提交了正式的complaint并以此质问John Key,为什么在新西兰国土上自己却被来自中国的保镖攻击。他质问道:“为何自己在国会的土地上被中国的保镖攻击,到底新西兰还有没有Freedom of speech!”
John Key在接受one news采访时说:“我们尊重freedom of speech,事情有待于进一步调查,而且贴身保镖也是为了保证重要人物的人身安全”。
"I think it's pretty outrageous that Chinese security can come to our country and push around an elected member of Parliament simply because we are standing up for democracy and freedom in our own country on our own Parliamentary grounds,"
He said it seemed most security were Chinese, rather than local.
"Certainly the New Zealand security didn't seem to give a lot of assistance...I mean the Chinese security guards elbowed me out of the way, and then I got an umbrella over the top of me and they took the flags off my hands and trampled on it and there wasn't a lot of support from New Zealand security, that I could see.
(他并且伤心地表示当时大部分的保安来自中国方面,说:“新西兰方面并没有提供多少保安,当我被中国的保镖攻击的时候,我并没得到新西兰自己保安的保护和支持”。)
"Chinese security - and there are very large numbers of them - roughed (Mr Norman) up in a way that I've never seen a member of Parliament treated," he said.
(他说:“中国保安,大量的中国保安,以我从未见过的残忍手段对待一个国会议员”。)
"If somebody does want to wave a Tibetan flag, which is clearly offensive to the Chinese ... well, we live in a democracy and should be able to express our views in the way Russel Norman did."
(他说:“如果任何人举起西藏独立的旗帜,很明显是对中国人的一种侵犯。。。不过,这是在我们这个民主的国家”)

".......Our nation defended China from Japanese aggression in WWII and we therefore have even more right to respectf rom visiting chinese on our soil................"
"Give me my flag back, Give me my flag back!" What a 2-year old idiot!
I doubt if it is appropriate to prosecute him under the Crimes Act 1980. Maybe, the application of Children and Young Persons Act would be more appropriate in this case.作者: angus-an 时间: 2010-6-23 19:57:49
