警拘中港兩槍客 疑對李柱銘不利


(星島)2009年5月31日 星期日 06:30

(綜合報道)


(星島日報 報道)民主黨 前主席李柱銘 證實，警方在去年八月曾告知他，拘捕兩名涉嫌藏槍人士，疑對他不利，更一度在他出席公開場合時向他提供保護。他拒絕推測兩人動機，但相信事件一定與中央政府或共產黨無關。消息透露，去年受警方保護的，還包括壹傳媒 老闆黎智英 及天主教陳日君 樞機，但李柱銘拒絕證實此一消息。警務處 處長鄧竟成 亦證實警方曾拘捕兩名涉及無牌藏有槍械的男子，但拒絕透露案情。


　　現年七十一歲的李柱銘為民主黨創會主席，去年立法會 選舉期間李柱銘放棄角逐連任，但仍四出為黨友拉票助選。李柱銘表示，在去年八月二十日，「兩個高級的警官告訴我，最近拘捕了人可能對我人身有些危險……所以要求我與警方合作，每逢我要出席大場面的地方支持任何人參選，都要預先通知他們，他們可以派人安排（保護）。」


　　警方於一個多月後通知李柱銘「無事」，再無派人保護他。他說：「當時已經拉了人，可能幕後主腦亦知道有警方『住』，所以我亦不擔心。」他透露警方至今仍未知幕後主腦身分，他亦無從稽考，相信警方會繼續追查。


　　他亦拒絕揣測事件的動機，但相信事件必定與中央政府或共產黨無關，「以中共的行事方式，他們不會這樣做，他們最多罵我『漢奸』。」他笑說，相信中共對於這類事件亦會好驚，「因為所有人都會入晒佢數」。他接受外電訪問時亦說，去年在北京 奧運 前，他撰文要求國際就中國人權問題向中央政府施壓，中央政府亦只發表超過九十篇文章及社論批評他。


　　有消息指，當時受警方保護的，還包括與李柱銘關係密切的黎智英和陳日君，但李柱銘對此只是說，「我唔知，你要問警方。」他強調自己曾答允警方，不會透露內情，事件只有他的太太和兒子知道。至於事件在六四 前夕披露，他表示是有記者查詢，又相信與六四、七一無關。


　　李柱銘強調自己一向問心無愧，不會做出令人憤怒到要殺害他的事情。他又強調自己並不擔心：「我不覺得生命是太過重要，因為我是有宗教（信仰）的 人，今生不是最重要，下一個（進入天堂生命）才是最重要，我從政這麼多年，都有人威脅，寄一些刀片來，我都無理，我都無通知警方。」他又透露八九年六四事 件後，他和支聯會 主席司徒華 是黑名單的頭號人物，更有隊人持機關槍來港暗殺他。


　　警務處處長鄧竟成昨天證實，警方於去年八月拘捕了兩名男子，涉及無牌藏有槍械等罪名，但他拒絕透露案情，只重申：「警方非常非常關注這類案件，我們是有決心和有能力去繼續維持香港的治安情況。」

Hong Kong democrat claims assassination plot

</abbr>
<!-- end .byline --> HONG KONG (AFP) – Leading Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigner Martin Lee said Saturday he was the target of an assassination plot during elections in the city last year.


The veteran activist, who founded the city's Democratic Party, said two men had been arrested over the plot, which he said was foiled by police in August last year.


The men were expected to stand trial in Hong Kong "soon," he added.
Police had arrested an alleged hitman from China and a Hong Kong accomplice and seized a pistol and ammunition, the South China Morning Post reported.


A police spokesman was not available for comment.


"I was never afraid because, as a Catholic, death to me is just like pushing the door open to another life," Lee told reporters, after a meeting with US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi.


Lee said he had been asked by police not to reveal the information, but had confirmed the story when contacted by a reporter this week.


The 70-year-old, who stepped down as a legislator last July, said he did not know who was behind the plot, but said the public exposure of the story could provide a warning.


"I hope the publication of the story will send a certain message to (whoever is behind the plot) that the police will still be trying to get to him or her," he said, without elaborating.


The plot was uncovered during the 2008 Legislative Council elections, one of the limited voting opportunities in the city.


Universal suffrage was promised to Hong Kong when it was handed back to China by colonial power Britain in 1997, but no timetable was set and democrats remain frustrated at the slow pace of constitutional reform.


Lee has also been at the forefront of the campaign to remember and vindicate pro-democracy activists who led a six-week protest in Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 1989.


The 20th anniversary of the crackdown on the protests -- which left hundreds, possibly thousands, dead across the Chinese capital -- will be marked on Thursday in Hong Kong with a candlelight vigil expected to draw tens of thousands.


Lee told the Post that he did not think the Communist Party, of which he has been a vocal critic, was linked to the plot to kill him.
"They are more keen to use character assassination," said the lawyer, who is banned from China.


Hong Kong, which has a separate legal system from China, has an outspoken and vibrant political culture, but violence against politicians is rare.


In 2006, the current Democratic Party chairman Albert Ho was attacked in a fast food restaurant by a gang wielding baseball bats, although it is not known if the attack was linked to his political activities.


Other leading democrats have received death threats.



Pelosi, who has been a vocal critic of China's rights record in the past, was heading a US delegation visiting China for meetings on the nation's climate change agenda.



Lee said he had told Pelosi he was "extremely worried" about the slow pace of political reform in Hong Kong.

China boleh

It would by default looked like BeiJing, but I think not. Because they are much more resourceful and capable and don't need these lame underhand. If BeiJing wanted Mr. Martin Lee dead, at his age, it would be finger snapping ease for them to arrange a heart attack look alike that even postmortem can hardly find any difference.

Such gunman lame trick would fit the profile of some local HK who have some money and conflict of interest with HK Democrats hiring some thugs who failed even to deliver bullets. :p

If you checked the current affairs, this kind of bullet tactic fits Myanmar Junta the best. If Aung San Suu Kyi was kill by bullets everyone will 100% pointed fingers to junta generals. However junta also learned smarter they hired an American to swim to her house then jail here for anther term just before the GE. :oIo: The important is to hire an American so that it would look the LEAST like what the Junta did it.

The more remote chance of the HK gunman thing could be some powers wanted to frame BeiJing, so hired some lame gunman to cause people to finger point BeiJing.

BeiJing's standard won't be so low. You compare Moscow, they at the very least will use radioactive isotope to kill, something more high-tech.

At this moment, HK's Democrats are very minor trouble to BeiJing. Even with economy so bad, BeiJing can still feed HK, and give tax rebates. The Hong Kongers took to street not because of bread & butter, they opposed new oppressive laws - they won, they want Tung Chee Wah to Fuck Off - they won. During those days BeiJing did not even wanted Martin Lee dead. Now the problems are so minor, why pay any unnecessary political price?

BeiJing would rather keep HK Democrats to march a bit, make noice a bit, to stage HK a Democracy Showcase for PRC, to shut the west up. This bullet thing is not in BeiJing's interest at all. I think BeiJing's leader must had instructed that the culprits be caught including the mastermind, to clear their own name.

Currently, even Ah Bian & Dalai Lama both are not causing BeiJing govt sufficient problem. BeiJing got MaYingJiu to fix Ah Bian, and few capable country showed interest with Dalai. I am not sure even if Obama will talke to Dalai. If he did then Dalai will still find some value with himself to be used as a chess-piece by Washington against BeiJing, otherwise, Dalia can just go chant his Buddhist scripts & await his next incarnation.

險遭暗殺 市民願保護 李柱銘：死後也進天堂


(明報)2009年6月1日 星期一 05:05

【明報專訊】民主黨 前主席李柱銘 日前證實自己一度成為暗殺目標，昨日他如常參加六四 遊行，不少市民更提出要保護他，但李柱銘氣定神閒的說﹕「未驚過！」


李柱銘稱，不擔心人身安全受威脅，事前亦沒有通知警方或要求任何保護。他強調由於自己是天主教徒，故死亡並非什麼大事，死亡也是進天堂。


遊行期間李柱銘未有走在隊頭，只與多名民主黨成員同行，當途至灣仔警察總部外的天橋時，他在民主黨中常委羅致光陪同下走上天橋，向遊行人士揮手打氣。


熊焱順利來港「是進步」


對於學運領袖熊焱順利來港，李柱銘相信這是一個進步，他認為愈多人參加遊行，愈能爭取平反六四，雖然天氣預測指6月4日（周四）天氣較差，但他指20年前的遊行亦是在八號風球下舉行，故相信會有更多市民不畏風雨參加今年的六四晚會。
