Yang Yiming, a reporter for China's state-run Guangming Daily based in Prague, has been detained for four months. He is accused of working for Chinese intelligence services and gathering information on Czech politicians who are friendly towards Taiwan. This marks the first time an individual in the Czech Republic has been prosecuted under the charge of "unauthorized activities for a foreign power."
中共黨媒「光明日報」駐布拉格記者楊藝明,遭羈押4個月後將出庭受審。楊藝明被查出為中國情報機構工作,長期情蒐捷克友台政要不利資料,檢察官依「為外國勢力從事未經授權活動罪」對其提起公訴,此為捷克首次有人因該罪名遭起訴。若罪名成立,最高可判處5年有期徒刑。
根據捷克廣播電台(iROZHLAS.cz)2日報導,布拉格市法院發言人伊利亞索娃(Kateřina Eliášová)表示,法院將審理此案。
伊利亞索娃說:「我可以確認,本院已收到針對該名被告的起訴書。根據起訴內容,被告涉嫌犯下為外國勢力從事未經授權活動的罪行。由於案件目前仍處於審理階段,無法提供更多資訊。」
報導指出,本案由布拉格高等檢察署負責監督偵辦,並於5月15日正式起訴。一般情況下此類案件由地方法院審理,但因涉及國家安全,因此改由層級較高的市法院負責,目前尚未排定正式開庭日期。
中共黨媒「光明日報」(Guangming Daily)駐布拉格記者楊藝明(Yang Yiming)被查出實際上隸屬中國情報機構,在布拉格監視與蒐集政治與學術界特定人士的情報,例如試圖蒐集友台政治人物捷克參議院議長韋德齊(Miloš Vystrčil)、前眾議院議長艾達莫娃(Markéta Pekarová Adamová)的不利資料。
楊藝明已在捷克活動多年,曾訪問多位捷克與斯洛伐克政治人物,捷克政府多次延長其新聞採訪證與駐留許可。
捷克警方今年1月拘捕楊藝明,布拉格第8區法院隨後於1月19日將其羈押,理由是擔心其可能繼續犯罪或潛逃。
布拉格第8區法院發言人胡梅妮(Jana Humeni)在3月表示:「本院裁定已獲確認,被告對羈押裁定提出的抗告已被布拉格市法院駁回。」
報導指出,這名中國情報人員雖對羈押提出異議,但並未對刑事起訴本身提出抗告。布拉格高等檢察署嚴重經濟與金融犯罪部門主任比利(Martin Bílý)證實:「被告在規定期限內未對檢方的起訴程序提出異議。」
「為外國勢力從事未經授權活動罪」與間諜罪、危害機密資訊罪同屬捷克刑法中「危害共和國、外國國家及國際組織罪」章節,最高可處5年刑期。
被告遭起訴所依據的是「捷克刑法」第318a條。這項條文於去年2月正式生效,主要針對替外國勢力蒐集敏感資訊的人士,特別是被認為與俄羅斯或中國情報活動有關的案件。
