【12港人疑在港海域被擄走 音訊全無 下落不明 家屬要求警方徹查到底】

12名港人被中國當局無理扣押於深圳鹽田看守所，家屬上週（12日）召開記者招待會並表達四點訴求後，中、港兩地政府至今均未正式回應，僅藉詞推卸責任、混淆視聽。惟事至如今，家屬委託的律師都被拒絕會見當事人。換言之，所謂被捕者的狀況，仍然只有中共官方知曉。

事件發生至今疑點重重，不論是被拘留者身處何地、拒絕律師探訪的原因、定還是中國海警有否進入香港水域執法等等，港府有關部門只盡用中國官方資訊，甘於淪為傳聲筒，從未親自聯絡家屬交代資料或派人到中國了解釋疑。綜合各點及觀察過去一週的事態發展，今天，一眾家屬決定集體到灣仔警察總部報案，要求查明真相。

此外，我們認為12港人事件在家屬以外，更涉及公眾利益。為釋除公眾疑慮，在報案以外，同時向政府部門提出下列要求：

一、要求香港警察交代十二人被中國海警拘捕的日期、時間、地點、過程，並交代有關過程有否出現傷亡；

二、要求海事處提供事發當日的船隻雷達紀錄以及要求水警提供事發當日的巡邏路線及位置。

三、要求香港政府派員以會面或通話親自確認12人的情況，並確保家屬委託的律師能與12人會面。

【No News and Whereabouts of 12 Hong Kong People Suspected to Have Been Kidnapped in Hong Kong Waters
Relatives Ask Police to Investigate Thoroughly】

The Chinese authorities are detaining 12 Hong Kong people at the Yantian Detention Centre in Shenzhen. After their families held a press conference last week (12 September) and expressed 4 demands, the Chinese and Hong Kong governments have yet to respond formally. They only shirked responsibility and confused the public with mere excuses. However, up to now, the lawyers appointed by the families have been refused to meet with the detainees. In other words, the conditions of the so-called arrested persons are still known only to the Chinese authorities.

There are lots of dubious questions yet to be answered: Whether it is the whereabouts of the detainee, the reason for refusing the lawyers' visit, or whether the Chinese Coast Guard entered Hong Kong waters to enforce the law, etc., the Hong Kong government only uses official information from China, becomes a willing mouthpiece of the Chinese side, and has never provided any details or sent anyone to China to clarify the doubts. Summing up all the points and observing the developments in the past week, the families decided to report the case to the Police Headquarters in Wan Chai today to find out the truth.

In addition, we believe that the incident involves not only the families of the 12 Hong Kong people, but also public interest. To allay public concerns, we would like to make the following requests to government departments in addition to reporting the case.

1. Request the Hong Kong Police Force to give an account of the date, time, place and process of the arrest of the 12 persons by the Chinese Coast Guard, and whether there were any injuries/casualties during the process.

2. Request the Marine Department to provide the radar records of the vessel, and the police force to provide the patrolling route and locations of the marine police vessel on the day of the incident.

3. Request the Hong Kong government to meet in person or make phone calls to ascertain the situation of the 12 detainees, and ensure that lawyers appointed by relatives of these detainees can meet their 12 clients.
