【禁聞】馮正虎網上募捐 維權者籲國際伸援手

【新唐人2012年1月18日訊】上海著名維權人士馮正虎在互聯網尋求公眾募捐,支持他的維權事業,他說,英雄也有氣短之時,公眾的事業需要公眾來支持。有維權者指出,馮正虎請求民眾資助是一種無奈之舉,希望國際社會能伸出援手資助中國的民主進程。

上海知名維權人士馮正虎在互聯網發出《公開賬號 坦誠求助》的公開信。他在信中說,我們是先驅者,先行的英雄,但不是聖人,也是普通人,也會英雄氣短。我知道:把困難坦誠相告,民眾會幫助的。

馮正虎是上海知名的維權人士。

2009年2月15號,馮正虎在北京遭當局秘密綁架,並被非法拘禁41天。當局為六四事件20週年,勸誡他迴避。4月他前往日本,此後,他先後8次試圖回國,都被禁止入境。馮正虎滯留日本機場第一空港入境審查大廳,堅持他的公民回國權利,不願再回到日本。

期間,日本官方不讓馮正虎的親人送食物進到管制區內,許多人從中國向東京空運食物和日用品,並給他捐款。馮正虎的遭遇引起中國網民及國內外維權機構的關注。他在機場被困92天後,成功回國。

馮正虎:「在機場上沒有那麼多民眾的給我捐食品啊,給我一些資助啊,我不可能那個……就是安全在機場,也不可能回到自己的國家,也不可能在維權方面做出一些成就。」

回國後,繼續從事維權事業的馮正虎依然受到當局的嚴密監視,時有「被失蹤」的消息傳出,馮正虎在信中說,一年四季家門口有十幾位非法看守者,24小時輪番監管他。

馮正虎:「我們這些人主要整個精力都投入那些(維權)活動方面,那麼在國內不可能有其他方面的一些資助收入。公眾的事業需要公眾來支持的,得到民眾的支持他才會有力量,因任何一切活動,它都需要……要做出實施它需要一些錢的。」

馮正虎自費辦網站,編輯出版《督察簡報》。去年網民發起借錢給艾未未運動,他也給艾未未匯去了999元。他表示,鈔票就是選票,民眾對艾未未的支持也是對他一次投票。

馮正虎:「民眾只要一小點支持,它就會聚成一個很大的一個財力的。就是一般民眾他喜歡支援,他就捐款來支持就可以了,我沒有那麼多精力來數錢,我把精力投向這個(維權),很簡單的就可以了。」

「權利運動博客」負責人胡軍表示,馮正虎尋求民眾資助也是一種無奈之舉,如果他的經濟能力還能繼續維持,繼續維權的話,他肯定不會提出「募捐」。

胡軍:「確實在國內維權這一塊面臨困境,資金的問題,經費的問題,特別困難,因為中共對國內的維權的人士採取的手段就是,斷絕經濟來源,在工作方面就是要切斷你的生活的經濟這方面的來源,一般的工作要會截止,或者你想從事一些謀生的職業,都會受到阻攔,或者給你去對各個地方打招呼,不允許給你就業的機會。」

胡軍希望國際社會能伸出援手資助馮正虎,他說,幫助馮正虎就等於幫助中國的民主進程,幫助中國民眾擺脫中共專制統治,實現真正的民主。

Feng Zhenghu Calls for Donations Online, Defenders Urge the International Community to Help

Well-known Shanghai human rights activist Feng Zhenghu

is seeking public donations on-line to support his human rights activities.

He said even a hero has difficulties,

public business needs public support.

Some activists pointed out, it’s an urgent need for action

that has made Feng Zhenghu ask for public donations.

He hopes the international community can help him

to push forward China’s democratic process.

Feng Zhenghu published a public letter on line which had

the title “Publish My Bank Account, Ask for Help Frankly”.

He said in the letter: “we are pioneers, the leading heroes.

We aren’t sages, but normal people who

will meet difficulties In our path.

I knew that if I spoke about my difficulty frankly,

people would help me.”

Feng Zhenghu is a well-known human rights activist

in Shanghai.

On February 15th, 2009, Feng Zhenghu was secretly kidnapped

by the Beijing authorities, and was illegally detained for 41 days.

The authorities warned him to avoid the 20th anniversary

of the June 4th event.

He went to Japan in April, but was refused entry to China 8 times

when he tried to go back.

Feng Zhenghu stayed at the entrance hall of Terminal 1

of Japan’s Narita Airport to ask for the right go back to China with his Chinese passport, and refused to enter Japan.

During this period, the Japanese government didn’t allow

his relatives to send food into the control zone.

Many Chinese brought food and daily necessities to him

from China by air.

What Feng experienced caused Chinese netizens and

human rights’ organizations grave concern.

After spending21 days at the airport,

he successfully returned to China.

Feng Zhenghu says: "When I was at the airport,

if there had not been many people to bring me food and other things,

I wouldn’t have been safe or able to go back to my country,

and then I wouldn’t have been able to succeed in those achievements in the area of human rights .”

After he arrived home, Feng continued to engage in the

human rights’ business but was closely monitored by the authorities.

He was also “missing” frequently. Feng said in the letter that

there were always a dozen illegal caretakers outside his home 24/7.

Feng Zhenghu says: "Our main effort is in human rights activity,

but we can’t have any income in China.

Public business needs public support. It will be powerful with public support.

Any kind of action needs money to make things happen.”

Feng Zhenghu spends money setting up a website,

edits and publishes a newspaper “inspection briefing”.

Last year, when netizens led a campaign to lend money

to Ai Weiwei,

he sent him 999 yuan by wire transfer.

He said money is the ballot, cash support is the vote.

Feng Zhenghu: "If each person gives a little support,

the total amount will be a considerable. If people like, they can donate support.

I don’t have time to make money, I put my energy

in the human right’s activities. Simple is good.”

The director of “Rights Movement Blog” Hu Jun said, it’s because

of urgency that Feng Zhenghu is seeking money in this way.

If he had money to maintain the operation of his projects,

he certainly would not ask for donations.

Hu Jun says:"It’s true that human rights’ activities are facing

financial issues, such as operating costs and funding.

It’s very difficult because it’s the Chinese Communist Party

(CCP)’s trick that is always used to deal with human rights activists.

CCP cut your income, cut the financial resources of your life.

You can’t find a normal job, and you will meet a block

as you try to make a living.

They tell all related businesses and units not to give you a job.”

Hu Jun hopes that the international community can help

Feng Zhenghu.

He said, to help Feng Zhenghu is to help China’s democratic

process, is to help Chinese to get rid of the CCP’s dictatorship, to realize real democracy.
