孩子寫的23條(三)

續上回,通識班上,幾個剛升中的孩子,戰戰競競嘗試為基本法23條立法。

根據孩子的定義,要「危害國家安全」,必須有「意圖+行動」。只罵不做,不算。有行動,但沒有「意圖推翻政權」,也不算。

哪,究竟要幹過甚麼,才算犯法?我問。

「我知我知! 例如,行刺領導人,就是『煽動叛亂』!」

「又若果曾蔭權叫溫家寶下台,自己做總理,就是『顛覆中央政府』!」

「『叛國』即是當間諜;爭取香港獨立就是『分裂國家』;『竊取國家機密』嘛... 應該是偷了軍事情報、外交策略之類啦。」

「嗯...那麼,如果我去調查豆腐渣工程,有沒有問題?」

「沒有,那只是求知,而不是推翻國家。」孩子們理所當然地說。

「那麼,若我向外國傳媒『放料』,鼓勵它們大肆報道,繼而遊說外國藉此向中國施壓,甚至不惜經濟封鎖,外國因此得到更多國際舞台上的談判籌碼,又行嗎?」我連珠炮發追問。

「嗯...這...這個嘛...」孩子們遲疑着。

「豆腐渣工程,你們認為不是國家機密。但若中央政府不同意,怎辦?」

「如果要到了『行刺領導人』的級數,才算犯法,沒多少人會入罪吧?為什麼香港人如斯恐慌?」

孩子們緩緩搖頭。然後,我按下投影器,一個又一個故事在屏幕上徐徐流過﹕

結石寶寶的爸爸趙連海,被判刑兩年半,罪名是「尋釁滋事」。

劉曉波發起「零八憲章」,判刑十一年。

地震中喪兒的家長,到豆腐渣工程現場悼念子女,被公安無情驅趕。

「原來,國家的定義,跟我們的,差這麼遠?」孩子們,紅着眼問。

「不,是一樣的。」我說得堅定,孩子們不明所以,瞪大眼看着我。(待續)

in the 1940s, the United States had similar law which was even much more extreme than Article 23 in HK. it takes a long time from being "tight" to "loose" in many many small steps. the UK democracy took 800 years to slowly eliminate "functional" seats and it'll take many years from now on to completely remove those "functional" seats. HK and China won't jump to the ideal state in one step but i see the right direction of them moving in small steps.

Congress passed the Smith Act, which made it illegal to advocate, abet, or teach the desirability of overthrowing the government, in 1940. In 1949, the federal government put Eugene Dennis, William Z. Foster and ten other CPUSA leaders on trial for advocating the violent overthrow of the government. Because the prosecution could not show that any of the defendants had openly called for violence or been involved in accumulating weapons for a proposed revolution, it relied on the testimony of former members of the party that the defendants had privately advocated the overthrow of the government and on quotations from the work of Karl Marx, Lenin and other revolutionary figures of the past. During the course of the trial the judge held several of the defendants and all of their counsel in contempt of court.
