【禁闻】王荔蕻获澳洲�推动中国进步奖�

【新唐人2011年10月11日讯】辛亥百年之际，澳洲齐氏文化基金会将�推动中国进步奖
�颁发给中国维权人士王荔蕻和独立制片人王利波。王荔蕻目前人还在狱中，她的儿子
齐健翔表示，为母亲感到骄傲和欣慰。

澳州齐氏文化基金会在10月10号发布公告，宣布将第4届�推动中国进步奖�颁发给中
国独立制片人王利波和王荔蕻。

王利波拍摄的记录片《掩埋》，披露了1976年�唐山大地震�之前有关地震预报被隐瞒
的真相。维权人士王荔蕻是记录片《赫索格的日子》的�灵魂导演�，这部片子记录了
去年（2010年）最重要的一场公民运动――�福建三网民案�围观声援活动。

因为王荔蕻目前还处于监禁之中，她的儿子齐健翔代表王荔蕻发表了获奖感言。

在接受《新唐人》采访时，齐健翔表示，为自己的母亲获得这一奖项而感到骄傲。

王荔蕻之子齐健翔：�我觉得替她感到欣慰吧！这个奖不是给我妈一个人的，是给中国
千千万万的，顶着巨大的政治压力，从事维权、从事民主、从事争取自由的这些工作
的，千千万万这些人的一个鼓励，实际上这个奖是给大家的。�

两位获奖者由中国知名的记录片导演艾晓明、胡杰和北京电影学院教授崔卫平共同推
荐。他们在推荐词中，称赞王利波拍摄的记录片《掩埋》揭示出，唐山大地震震前预报
的真相被有意隐瞒，正是当代中国很多浩劫的缩影。

2008年2月，福州市闽清县女青年严晓玲突然死亡。警方宣布是正常死亡，但死者母亲
林秀英认为死者是被轮奸致死。2009年，范燕琼等3人将严晓玲死亡的情况，整理成文
字、拍成视频，发到网上，引起各方广泛关注。随后3人被警方以涉嫌�诽谤罪�抓捕
并判刑。

为抗议这种�因言获罪�，王荔蕻发起了围观声援�福建三网民案�的活动，她还和很
多民众与警方对拍，并邀请何杨对视频做了进一步采访和剪辑，最终完成了《赫索格的
日子》这部记录片。王荔蕻也因此被认为，是这部作品的灵魂导演。

今年（2011年）3月份，当局号称王荔蕻在法院外扰乱秩序，以�寻�滋事�为名刑事
拘留。 9月份，北京朝阳区法院判处王荔蕻有期徒刑9个月。

北京博圣律师事务所韩一村律师：�她动员组织了一批人，走上街头，对司法机关的不
公表示抗议。作为当局来讲，它最怕的就是民众走上街头，它担心民众走向街头，对它
们是一个威胁，所以它们（中共）对走上街头表示抗议的行为，采取高压的打压态势。
�

多年来，王荔蕻一直在中国各地的维权活动中表现活跃，曾经参加过�邓玉娇事件�和
�三聚氰胺毒奶事件�的维权活动。作家野渡认为，王荔蕻是今年（2011年）中国最引
人注目的维权人士之一。

作家野渡：�王荔蕻获得这个奖，可以说是众望所归，也是对她这么多年来，推动中国
国内的公民运动的一个褒奖。虽然说，她现在已经失去自由，但是，我们可以做其他一
些事情，让更多的、像王荔蕻这样的人勇敢前行。�

澳洲�齐氏文化基金�会缘起于中国早期留美学者齐尊周，他曾经被中共投入牢狱长达
23年，后辗转出国。98年，齐尊周逝世后，他的儿女根据他的遗志，设立了�齐氏文化
基金会�，表彰那些用文字和影像记录，推动中国进步的人。

齐氏文化基金会的公告提到，已经将奖金和证书转给王荔蕻和王利波两位获奖者，这两
部记录片《掩埋》和《赫索格的日子》，将会在澳洲放映。
