捍衛言論自由 抗議選擇檢控 修訂過時《電訊條例》

聲援司徒華等被檢控人士

支聯會主席司徒華因出席民間電台活動，五度被檢控，源於2007年5月25日以嘉賓身份出席民間電台在旺角行人專用區，舉行的一個要求平反「六四」論壇；2008年4月20日出席民間電台在旺角行人專用區的「開放大氣電波」論壇，要求特區政府修訂過時的《電訊條例》及向民間電台發牌；2008年5月4日出席在銅鑼灣時代廣場舉行的「從五四運動到香港爭取公共空間」論壇；2008年5月29日出席在銅鑼灣記利佐治街行人專用區舉行的「平反八九民運－－紀念『六四』十九周年」論壇；以及2008年6月30日出席在銅鑼灣記利佐治街行人專用區舉行呼籲市民出席「七一」遊行論壇。

世界上任何一個先進的城市，都有民間電台。香港作為國際大都會，應與先進國家看齊，開放頻道給予民間電台。選擇性檢控出席「民間電台」人士，是打壓言論自由。

支聯會要求特區政府立即修訂過時的《電訊條例》，撤銷所有人士的檢控並作出合理賠償，同時開放大氣電波，容許民間開辦電台。為了捍衛香港的言論自由，我們呼籲各界人士採取不同方式表達意見。

我們強烈要求：

1. 撤銷所有人士的檢控，包括：司徒華、劉慧卿、李卓人、張超雄、李永達、梁國雄、黃毓民、陳偉業、曾健成、羅堪就、陳妙德、林旭華、麥志恆、楊匡、張錦雄、李偉儀、柯華冰、曾浚瑛及潘達強；
2. 開放大氣電波，修訂過時《電訊條例》，容許民間開辦電台。
