一名美国公民和四名中国情报官员 被控对著名的民运人士、持不同政见者和人权领袖进行间谍活动
by DOJ Pressby DOJ Press在昨天呈交到布鲁克林联邦法院的一份起诉书中,美国公民、皇后区居民王书君和中国国家安全部(国安部)的四名官员被指控犯有与间谍和跨国镇压有关的阴谋和其他罪行. 国安部的四名官员分别是贺锋,又称“贺老板”, 纪杰,李明,又称“唐长老”和“小李子”,以及吕可清,又称“吕老板”. 王书君此前于2022年3月16日因刑事指控被捕,稍后将被传讯。贺、纪、李、吕仍然在逃. 美国纽约东区检察官布雷昂皮尔斯, 司法部国家安全司助理部长马修 G.奥尔森, 以及联邦调查局纽约分局助理局长迈克尔.德里斯科尔宣布了这些指控. “正如指控所述,王书君在自己社区充当地下情报人员,监视著名民运人士和组织,并将敏感信息报告给他的同案被告:中国国家安全部的成员”,美国检察官皮尔斯表示. “在美的中国公民支持民主信仰和言论,导致中国政府威胁他们的人身安全和自由. 今天的起诉书揭露并扰乱了这种行为. 我们办公室和我们的执法伙伴将保持警惕,挫败针对我国公民和居民的外国间谍活动”. “我们不会容忍中国或任何权威政府向我国公民施压,”助理司法部长奥尔森说. 这些指控表明,司法部将坚定不移地把所有试图压制美国境内的不同政见,阻止我们的居民行使其合法权利的违法者绳之以法”. 助理局长德里斯科尔指出,我们指控,王为中国工作.他参加了一个民运组织,意图监视那些成员.他把居住在美国的持不同政见者作为目标,危及他们的生命与安全. 中国政府一次又一次地证明,它愿意无视我们的法律来追捕那些公开反对该政权的人. 我们正在与我们的执法伙伴积极合作,以阻止这些行为. 我们希望那些担心自己安全的人能够与我们联系”. 王是一位知名学者和作家. 他在皇后区帮助建立了一个反对中国现行共产党政权的民运组织. 然而,正如指控所述,至少自2011年以来,王利用自己在中国侨民和持不同政见社团的身份和地位,为国安部和中国政府秘密收集有关著名活动人士和人权领袖的信息. 作为王的联络人,贺、纪、李、吕指使王把中国认为有颠覆性的个人和团体作为目标,如香港民运人士、台独倡导者, 支持维吾尔和西藏的人士等,并获取对国安部至关重要的特定主题和事件的信息. 如起诉书所述,王通过加密通讯应用程序和电子邮件,以及在中国会面等方式,与包括贺、纪、李、吕在内的国安部沟通并提供信息. 王经常将所收集的信息记录到电子邮件“日记”,供国安部查阅. 这些“日记”包括王与知名异议人士的私人谈话以及民运人士和人权组织的活动细节. 王被捕后,从他家中搜查发现, 王曾给贺、纪、李、吕以及其他国安部官员写了大约163篇“日记”. 比如,在2016年11月22日前后的一系列沟通中,纪指示王在即将到来的民运活动中与某位特定与会者见面,以“完成老板(指吕)所指派的任务”. …
