海基會公布今年4至7月及去年10月台灣一貫道信徒在中國被捕與拘留案例。
又有台灣一貫道信徒在中國被拘留,海基會秘書長羅文嘉今(16)日在例行記者會表示,今年4至7月連續4個月發生在中國生活、工作多年的一貫道信眾被拘留的案例,迄今均未被釋放。相關風險已從短期赴中國旅遊者,擴大至長期在中國居留的國人信眾,他認為,一貫道親前往中國,旅遊風險可升級為「紅色警示」,並喊話「快回台灣」。
羅文嘉表示,4月案例為在福建生活領有中國居住證的台灣民眾、5月案例為在東莞教書的台籍教師、6月案例為一名深圳台商、7月案例為在台灣退休後移居福建漳州的台灣民眾,4起案例共通點均為信仰一貫道。
羅文嘉提醒,過去幾起台灣一貫道信徒在中國被拘留案例,都是前往對岸短期旅遊或交流時發生;近期看到數起案例為在中國生活、工作已久者,由於宗教因素被拘留,「顯然過去幾年都沒問題的,並不表示現在和未來不會有問題」。
羅文嘉認為,中共對於一貫道的打擊,已經擴及長期在中國生活、工作者,強烈建議返台是比較安全的選擇;若在中國的生活、工作短期間難有變動,就要小心謹慎,減少讀四書五經、拜佛像、朋友聚會等頻率,「沒有從事宗教宣傳行為,也不表示是安全的」。
另有3名台灣一貫道信徒於2024年10月在中國被拘捕,羅文嘉透露,這3名當事人被以中國刑法300條拘捕、起訴,後來被判刑2至3年不等,目前有一位服刑中、一位結束刑期返台、另一位結束刑期尚未能返台。
