星期五(11月6日),澳門完成史上首宗國安審判。民主派領袖、前立法會議員區錦新被控「顛覆國家政權」等罪名,於初級法院被判囚12年6個月。

現年69歲的他預料須服刑到2039年,出獄時已年屆82歲。根據澳門《刑法典》規定, 服刑至三分之二可申請假釋。

判決後,區錦新妻子鄭妙珊表示裁決不可接受,她發公開信指區案是政治審判,「是人格羞辱的莫須有迫害」。家屬曾表示,接近一年都無法探望區錦新。

這是澳門首宗國安案,案件過程並不公開,區錦新由「指派律師」辯護,審理法官及律師身份不明。從預審、開審到宣判,外界只能從政府新聞稿得知消息。

澳門政府表示尊重並支持法院裁決,指政府維護國安、捍衛法治的立場堅定不移。中國外交部發言人亦表示,中央政府堅定支持澳門依法懲治危害國安的行為。

初級法院就區案作出裁決,區錦新四罪名成立,另有一罪名不作單獨處罰:一項「顛覆國家政權罪」;兩項「與境外組織聯繫危害國家安全」罪;一項「違反保密」罪。

根據法院裁決,在7月2日的預審中,區錦新原被起訴七宗罪:三項「顛覆國家政權罪」、三項「與境外組織聯繫危害國家安全」罪,以及《刑法典》下一項「違反保密」罪。法院在新聞稿指出,由於區錦新「沒有自行聘請律師」,由法院「指派律師」辯護。法院稱,「律師與緊密溝通、聯繫」。

整合法院裁決,區錦新違反《國安法》的行為有二:長期親身協助和配合境外組織,收集、預備,及散佈充斥顛覆國家政權的政治主張以及虛假歪曲的圖片及資訊,藉此勾連境外組織煽動仇恨,意圖推翻中國根本制度。相關行為在2023年國安法修訂生效後仍然持續。在2023至2024年間,先後與多個境外組織勾連,親身協助其收集虛假且歪曲消息、合謀散佈,意圖使外國作出針對中國及澳門的敵對行動、引發仇恨,以及破壞澳門特首選舉。

就行為一,法庭指出,區錦新各干犯「顛覆國家政權罪」及「與境外組織聯繫危害國家安全」罪,但因兩罪存在表面競合關係,以較重罪的「顛覆國家政權罪」作處罰。就行為二,區錦新被起訴兩項「顛覆國家政權罪」及兩項「與境外組織聯繫危害國家安全」罪。法庭指出,因嫌犯行為是否達至「推翻、破壞程度」的要求存在疑問,「顛覆國家政權罪」罪名不成立。但就「與境外組織聯繫危害國家安全」罪則完全符合犯罪構成要件,兩項罪名均成立。

另外就《刑法典》下「違反保密罪」一罪,法庭指於2021年身為時任立法會議員期間,區錦新把立法會有關賭牌續期閉門會議的秘密內容向境外組織洩漏,認定該罪罪成。

法院稱在庭審中,區錦新對大部分基礎事實無異議,承認勾結和串通多個境外組織的事實行為構成犯罪,並「認同辯護律師為其辯護的意見」。法院作出判案理由,指出儘管區為初犯,且承認相當部分的犯罪事實,「惟其故意程度極高,有關犯罪的不法性程度及可能造成的後果均十分嚴重」。

判決如下:「顛覆國家政權罪」判囚11年3個月;兩項「與境外組織聯繫危害國家安全罪」各判囚3年9個月;「違反保密罪」判囚9個月。最後經合議,法庭決定判處區錦新單一刑罰12年6個月。

在判決後,區錦新妻子鄭妙珊發公開信。她表示從閉門審訊到公開宣判,「是政治審判」,「是人格羞辱的莫須有迫害」。她表示作為家屬,只望往後能夠得到當局允許,能「不附加條件」地跟獲得丈夫書信和定期探訪的權利。

區錦新女兒區翰怡則向BBC中文表示,對判決「深感悲痛和憤慨」。她形容其父親是一位愛好和平的人、慈愛的父親。區翰怡表示,希望澳門人記住父親的正直、勇氣、慈悲和為澳門人所作出貢獻。她呼籲葡萄牙政府和歐盟採取行動,盡一切可能確保他返回葡萄牙。

區錦新擁有葡萄牙國籍。他被羈押以來,外界、甚至家屬均難以接觸他。今年7月,區錦新羈押滿一年前夕,其女兒區翰怡曾向葡新社表示,過去一年家人無法探望,只能透過當局安排的社工了解情況。

區錦新的海外法律代表邁克爾·波拉克(Michael Polak)在判刑後發聲明,批評這是「一場虛假的審判」,形容區被定罪心不僅令澳門蒙羞,也將影響國際社會從法治角度對澳門的看法。他指出,區錦新不應該僅因為他的「非暴力信仰」被拘捕。

據在場媒體表示,一輛疑似押送區錦新的囚車於上午11時15分駛離初級法院。在法院外,道路被封,現場有大量保安和警察看守。法院對出空地設有傳媒區,大批無法進入法院的傳媒只能在此等候,現場約有20人。

是次宣判消息公佈來得突然。11月5日初級法院於下午3點發新聞稿,表示區案將於明早10點公開宣判。欲旁聽的公眾及傳媒須分別在4點起到法院及新聞局的線上系統登記。但有市民發文表示,4點02分左右到達法院,已有職員表示「已經取完籌,額滿了」。當局沒透露旁聽席數量為何。另據BBC中文了解,有本地媒體表示成功在新聞局系統登記後,獲告知「沒有足夠的位置」無法旁聽。

今早新聞局向現場媒體確認,只得四間傳媒出席旁聽,包括澳門廣播電視中文及葡文台、澳門日報及大眾報。法院判決後指,「數十名市民、傳媒以及嫌犯家屬出席了今天的公開宣判」。惟在場記者所見,現場僅有零星做運動的市民及多名便衣警員。

曾在澳門執業多年的葡裔律師何睿智(Jorge Menezes)向BBC中文指出,澳門當局透過刑期傳遞訊息:「澳門社會必須受到震懾、外界必須看到一個可以交代的結果,以及當局想像中的北京。」在他看來,審判同時反映當局的軟弱,「一個有自信的政府,根本會把這種虛構出來的威脅當作笑話。澳門如今卻是在用手榴彈打蚊子。」

多年研究澳門政治的學者余永逸博士則向BBC中文分析,區案是政府劃出「清楚紅線」的基准:「澳門居民可以做什麼、不可以做什麼,有什麼是不能接受」。至於判決對社會的影響,余永逸認為自2021年立法會候選人遭集體DQ事件後,市民已目睹澳門變成「自我審查」、「不能夠表達意見」的社會,今日判決未必再對社會帶來多大衝擊。

人權觀察亞洲區副主任王松蓮(Maya Wang)表示,國安定罪向澳門「所有以和平方式提出批評的人士發出了令人不寒而栗的信號」。

區錦新持有葡萄牙國籍。2025年7月30日,區被捕後,歐盟對外行動署譴責中方抓捕歐洲公民,形容事情的發展加劇了人們對澳門「政治多元化和言論自由持續受到侵蝕的擔憂」。中國外交部駐澳門公署其後批評歐盟「蓄意攻擊澳門法治、粗暴干涉澳門事務和中國內政」。

On the third reading of the Legislative Yuan, the subsidy for veteran farmers was increased to 15,000. Chen Suyue: Regardless of financial resources, it hindered the payment.

The Legislative Yuan passed the third reading to increase the allowance for veteran farmers to 15,000 yuan per month, which will take effect retroactively in July this year. Changhua County Magistrate candidate Chen Suyue expressed doubts about this, worrying that the lack of sound financial resources will crowd out funds for farmland water conservancy and infrastructure construction, and called on farmers to consider the sustainability of policies and financial planning.
