今年2名香港藝術家,在銅鑼灣以各自的方式默默悼念六四,未料卻被大批便衣港警包圍阻攔。(圖擷取自@whyyoutouzhele 社群平台「X」,本報合成)

今天是中國「六四天安門事件」37週年,各國民眾、團體以各自的方式,為所有六四亡者哀悼。原本是全球最大紀念六四地點的香港,近年被當局與警方嚴格控管六四相關活動,今年更是傳出,2名藝術家在公眾場合默默悼念六四,結果立即被大批便衣港警包圍阻攔,甚至一路尾隨他們離開現場。

時常揭露中國境內資訊的旅義華僑作家李穎,今(4)日上午在X帳號「李老師不是你老師」分享2段影片。其中一段影片,是香港民眾在昨(3)日晚間拍到藝術家陳美彤,手持一顆「求婚」氣球站在銅鑼灣街上不到3分鐘,就被數名便衣港警攔查與一路「包圍護送」她離開現場,還在她搭地鐵離開前,以氣球會爆炸為由當場弄碎。

另一段影片則是香港民眾、當地記者在今日上午,目睹行為藝術家「三木」(本名陳式森)出現在鄰近維多利亞公園、位於銅鑼灣的東角道路邊,並在原地默默放飛一根約6.4米長的紅色細線,未料突然衝出4、5名男性便衣港警從前後左右包圍他,除了上前搜查他的隨身物品、身分證,並且一路尾隨他2分鐘左右才離開。

李穎進一步補充,目前維多利亞公園周邊部署大量警力,昔日燭光晚會舉辦地,目前已成為港警的重點管控區,讓他無奈感慨,「香港曾是全球最大的六四紀念地之一,如今,公開和平悼念活動已變得極為困難。」

畫面曝光後,吸引香港與各國網友關注,「拿氣球都怕,真是可笑至極」、「香港已經不是以前的香港,是共匪的傀儡」、「現在的香港連批判政府,探討歷史都不行了嗎」、「中國政府膽小如蟻,放條線也能嚇到他們魂不附體」、「香港警察只用了10年時間就徹底蛻變成香港公安了,技能點媲美朱明王朝的廠衛了」。
