自由開講》跨境鎮壓威脅台灣民主

從司法嚴懲到事前預防,如何應對境外勢力透過犯罪組織進行的政治恐嚇

Quick Look

台灣面臨境外勢力透過犯罪組織進行「跨境鎮壓」的新型威脅。最高檢察署宣示將向上溯源,不僅懲處執行者,更要阻斷幕後資金與指使鏈,以保護言論自由並強化國家安全防衛機制。

Why It Matters

台灣近期發生多起媒體人及表演者遭暴力攻擊事件,引發對境外勢力跨境鎮壓的疑慮。最高檢察署已宣示將針對此類案件進行向上溯源調查。

台灣面對的國家安全威脅,已經不再局限於軍事恫嚇與外交打壓,境外勢力透過犯罪組織、金錢收買與暴力恐嚇,干預台灣人民言論自由的跨境鎮壓,正成為民主社會必須正視的新型態威脅。從媒體人遭暴力攻擊,到喜劇表演場所遭潑灑穢物、表演者遭到衝撞,相關事件引發社會對境外勢力介入的疑慮。最高檢察署宣示針對跨境鎮壓案件嚴查速辦、向上溯源、具體求刑,代表司法機關開始正視暴力犯罪背後可能存在的政治操控。台灣真正需要建立的,不只是嚴懲犯罪者的司法制度,更是能夠追查幕後指使、阻斷境外資金、保護言論自由的民主防衛機制。

跨境鎮壓並非一般治安事件,而是威權政府將政治控制延伸至境外的治理手段。根據國際人權組織自由之家對跨境鎮壓的研究,威權政體可能透過監控、威脅、騷擾、綁架與暴力攻擊,壓制居住海外的異議人士。相關手法不一定直接由官方人員執行,也可能透過犯罪組織、代理人或其他協力網絡完成。對台灣而言,最值得警惕的情況,就是境外勢力利用本地犯罪網絡,將政治恐嚇包裝成一般刑事案件,使司法機關難以辨識真正的犯罪目的。

這類行動最危險的地方,不只是個別受害者遭到傷害,而是可能造成整個社會的寒蟬效應。當媒體人因批評威權政府而擔心遭到攻擊,當表演者因政治諷刺而承受暴力威脅,當一般民眾開始懷疑公開表達意見是否安全,言論自由便可能在恐懼中逐漸萎縮。境外勢力不必全面控制台灣媒體,只要透過少數具有示範效果的恐嚇事件,就可能讓更多人選擇自我審查。這正是跨境鎮壓與一般暴力犯罪在政治效果上的重要差異。

最高檢察署強調向上溯源,正好點出台灣司法防衛最需要突破的問題。過去偵辦暴力案件,司法機關通常著重實際動手者、犯罪工具與現場證據。面對疑似跨境鎮壓案件,調查範圍必須進一步延伸至資金來源、通訊紀錄、組織關係與幕後指使者。犯罪現場只是整個行動的最後階段,真正決定暴力行動是否具有政治目的的關鍵證據,往往存在於事前的聯繫、付款與任務安排。若只逮捕執行暴力的打手,卻未能查明背後的組織網絡,類似案件仍可能反覆發生。

司法機關也必須嚴格區分犯罪事實與政治推論。暴力事件具有政治敏感性,不代表必然受到境外政府指使。是否構成跨境鎮壓,仍須依據具體證據判斷,不能僅憑犯罪者身分、政治立場或被害者言論推定。檢察官依法蒐證、法院獨立審判、被告享有正當法律程序,都是民主防衛不可放棄的原則。若以國家安全為理由降低證據標準,反而可能損害台灣最值得守護的法治基礎。強化國安偵查能力與保障基本權利,必須同步推進。

台灣可以從3個方向建立更完整的防衛機制。司法層面應強化檢警調與國安機關的情報整合,針對疑似境外指使案件建立跨機關調查程序。金融層面應追查可疑金流、地下匯兌及犯罪組織資金往來,避免境外資源轉化為國內暴力行動。社會層面則應建立受威脅者的通報、保護與法律協助機制,讓媒體工作者、藝文表演者及公民團體不必獨自承擔政治恐嚇風險。3個層面相互配合,才能從事後懲罰逐步走向事前預防。

跨境鎮壓也是灰色地帶衝突的重要形式。相較於軍事攻擊,透過犯罪代理人進行恐嚇,成本較低、責任較難追究,也容易模糊政治行動與一般犯罪的界線。台灣若將國家安全僅理解為軍備採購與軍事防衛,就可能忽略境外勢力對民主社會內部自由空間的侵蝕。司法韌性、金融透明、社會信任與公民自由,同樣構成國家安全的重要基礎。

最高檢察署宣示嚴查速辦,是司法回應跨境鎮壓的重要起點,真正的考驗仍在後續偵辦成果。能否查明指使鏈、阻斷資金鏈、保護受害者,並在合法程序下完成追訴,才是衡量政策成效的標準。台灣民主的力量,不只來自人民可以自由表達意見,更來自國家有能力保障人民不因表達意見而遭受暴力威脅。面對跨境鎮壓,司法不能只抓打手,更要依法揪出幕後黑手,讓民主自由獲得真正有效的制度保障。

Free Lecture》The backlash of the negative campaign: The blue camp’s current offensive and defensive miscalculations

However, Shen Boyang appeared on the dark blue program "Shaokang War Room" and faced 37 rigorous questions in a straight-ball showdown. Not only did he resolve the crisis, but it also triggered four backlashes including a joint protest by doctors and nurses.

After "Freedom to Lecture" 2758, the international community should answer "What is Taiwan today?"

In an interview, IPAC Executive Director Pei Lunde said that the international community's counterattack against Beijing's expansionary interpretation of UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 is only the first step. Taiwan should break away from the "who represents China" framework in the 1970s, push all countries to update their Taiwan policies, and face up to Taiwan's actual existence and global role as a democratic governance entity.

Kluman uses Taiwan F-16 to warn! Call on the U.S. government to take back control of Musk’s Starlink

Nobel Prize winner in economics Kluman wrote an article arguing that the U.S. government should take back control of "Starlink" from billionaire Musk. He used Taiwan's F-16 fighter jets as an example to question the rationality of private companies controlling key wartime communications and national security powers, arguing that this should not be decided by individual business owners.
