【禁闻】澳籍华裔作家杨恒均失踪引关注

【新唐人2011年3月31日讯】澳洲华裔博客作家杨恒均，几天前在广州机场失踪，引起
各方的关注。澳洲外交部也和中共当局展开交涉。澳大利亚有媒体猜测，杨恒均的失
踪，可能和中共为防止境内茉莉花革命而大批拘禁异见人士有关。

在29号的中共外交部简报会上，有记者专门询问了杨恒均27号失踪的这个案例。

外交部发言人姜瑜声称，她从来没有听说过杨恒均这个人。

据了解，姜瑜没有听说过的杨恒均，曾在中共外交部工作过。

《自由亚洲电台》报导，46岁的杨恒均毕业于复旦大学外交专业，曾经担任中共政府部
门要职及国安系统工作，也曾被外交部派驻海外，之后加入澳洲籍。杨恒均还是中国最
有影响力的政治博客作家，拥有"民主小贩"之称和百万粉丝，他的博客文集《家国天下
》去年底在北京出版。

27号，杨恒均打电话给他的博客管理员，说在广州白云机场发现有3人跟踪他，后来就
失去了联系。澳洲外交部29号表示，正在寻找杨恒均的下落。

《美国之音》报导，保护记者委员会表示，担心杨恒均在中共对中国异议人士的镇压中
受到迫害。

2月份，杨恒均在接受《美国之音》的访问中暗示：有"很大压力"，他说："事实上中国
的审查比任何国家都严重，他们还在控制这个言论自由，还在用审查压制这些东西。"

杨恒均的朋友，广东作家野火向《新唐人》表示，当局抓捕杨恒均完全没有理由。

野火："如果定个什么罪那是不可能，一个因为身份，二是他的文章全部都是公开博客
----国内允许的博客，通过的，网站管理员通过的。"

关注中国政治犯案件的美国「对话基金会」研究员罗助华认为，杨恒均一向对中国的政
治和社会形势"持批评态度"，但是也非常小心如何来表达他的观点。连"温和的政府批
评人士"也失踪，罗助华对中共公然漠视法律程序表示担心。

30号，与杨恒均素有交情的悉尼科技大学冯崇义博士对《美国之音》表示，杨恒均目前
已经跟朋友通过电话了，通话中说他"病"了几天，手机没电了。

而澳洲总理朱莉雅.吉拉德（Julia Gillard）预计将在4月26号访问中国。外界认为中
共将会释放杨恒均，以对吉拉德的来访表示善意。
