中新网约翰内斯堡9月6日电 中国驻南非使馆6日发布公告称,近期,南非约翰内斯堡的塞尔比、杰米斯顿地区连续发生涉我侨胞被绑架案件。绑匪以经营店铺、酒铺的侨胞为主要目标,以索要赎金为作案目的,选择受害人送货途中或门店附近作案。我侨胞人身财产安全受到严重威胁。驻南非使馆提醒广大侨胞,务必密切关注当地安全和治安形势,进一步提高安全防护意识,主动防范被绑架风险。
一、加强安防措施。尽量选择安保设施齐全、周边环境安全的社区经营居住。已在较高风险地区从业侨胞尽快搬离,加大店铺周围和出行途中安防措施,运用远程监控等手段看店,配置“一键报警”等便携式防范设备手段,加强与亲友和邻居日常联系。提前规划安全避险和脱离路线,降低被绑架风险。
二、确保出行安全。合理调整店铺营业时间,避免清晨夜间单独出行。时常变换通勤及进出货路线和时间,进出经营居住场所和行车出行时多留意周边环境和陌生人,防止遭人尾随。如发现尾随情形,迅速驾车前往附近警局或加油站等相对安全场所,并视情向华人社团求助。避免前往绑架案件安全风险高、社会治安不靖地段。
三、依法合规经营。遵守当地法律,尽量雇佣当地人,确保合法用工,加强对员工及临时雇员的情况了解和日常观察,妥善处理劳资关系。不随意透露自己的住址、行程、车辆、作息和财务信息,避免因非法用工经营引发案件。不随身携带大量现金,不在公共场合谈论公司经营、货款往来和家庭财产情况。
四、沉着冷静应对。如遇到危险,尽量保持冷静,以人身安全为重,找准时机报警或逃脱。如无法逃脱,不与绑匪冲突、不透露家底、不允诺赎金,相机灵活应对,以便警方营救。受害人家属应及时报警,并听从警方谈判专家意见,不轻易许诺高额赎金,主动向警方提供相关细节,积极配合警方开展侦查,争取尽快解救被绑架人员。
驻南非使馆将继续推动南非警方尽快侦办涉中国公民案件,切实维护中国公民安全和合法权益。(完)
