香港海关依据《港区国安法》第四十三条实施细则,有权扣查被认为具煽动意图的物品。此前多间独立书店曾遭国安处搜查。
“候鸟”组织周一(11月2日)在脸书发文表示,一批自台湾进口的书籍,原订10月中旬送达候鸟经营的“如一”门市,但不仅延误到货,且有两箱书送到时仅剩半箱遭翻倒的书籍,逾60本书“不翼而飞”。
“候鸟”指出,向香港海关询问后,确认遗失书籍是遭海关扣查。运输公司提供的海关“检取物品收据”显示,香港海关的依据是《港区国安法》四十三条实施细则。该法于今年3月修订后,赋予海关检取“合理怀疑具煽动意图”物品的权力,并可申请充公。
海关10月29日给“候鸟”的简短书面回復,并未说明扣押书籍原因。
“候鸟”成员尤思聪向《明报》表示,不明白被扣押书籍与国安和煽动意图之间的关联。他并未透露涉事书籍名称及作者,但指出这些书不只一次从台湾进口至香港,部份仍在市面流通,因此将继续凭借他们认为合理、合法的准则贩售。
“候鸟”在声明中强调“无意、亦没能力危害这个国家的安全”,呼吁海关加以说明,哪些书籍存在风险,以及如何危害国安。
根据《法庭线》、《香港01》等港媒,海关2日对此回復称,不会就个别个案作评论,强调海关若发现具煽动意图的物品,将依法扣查,并视情况转交警务处国家安全处跟进。
今年3月至7月,香港独立书店“一拳书馆”、“猎人书店”、“田园书屋”及“留下书舍”先后遭国安处以涉犯“煽动”搜查。保安局局长邓炳强7月曾表示,港府无意设立“禁书名单”,并把会被港府认定为“煽动”的书籍,比喻为有毒的食物,称“卖食物都要确保不会是毒药,不会食到人肚痛”,强调书商有责任确保贩售的书籍不犯法。
7月的独立书店搜查风波,有媒体消息指,有争议的书籍包含记者冯哲芸的著作《唯红花绽放》等。冯哲芸当时接受BBC等媒体访问时说,香港过去仍有一些灰色地带的出版空间,但显然现在情况已经不是如此。
许多书店与出版界人士当时亦指,随着港府收紧国安控制,如今越来越难以判断言论与出版的界线。
