八位议员敦促英国外交大臣戴维·拉米呼吁释放王炳章医生

（伦敦，2025年6月3日）——今天，在1989年天安门屠杀民主抗议者36周年前夕，英国人权捍卫者组织“捍卫权利” （Fortify Rights）表示，中华人民共和国应立即无条件释放中国人权捍卫者王炳章博士。八位英国议员致信

英国外交大臣戴维·拉米，呼吁释放王炳章博士。王炳章博士于2002年在越南被绑架，并因其参与民主活动而在中国被判处终身监禁。他已被单独监禁23年。如今，王博士已77岁高龄，他的身心健康状况日益令人担忧。

“我们热烈欢迎英国议员的这些倡议，旨在关注王炳章医生令人震惊的案件。王炳章医生在中国监狱被单独监禁了23年，他从越南被绑架并被强制引渡回中国，这被广泛认为是任意的，违反了国际法，”捍卫人权组织高级主任本尼迪克特·罗杰斯表示。“世界各国政府都应该谴责这起令人震惊的跨国镇压案件。”

On June 27, 2002, Dr. Wang was in Mong Cai, a city in Vietnam bordering China, meeting Chinese labor activists. A group of men reportedly accosted him and forced him into a waiting van, which then transported him by boat to China. The Guangxi Public Security Bureau then took him into custody, and he was later charged with “offenses of espionage” and “the conduct of terrorist activities.” He was tried by the Intermediate People’s Court in Shenzhen, and sentenced to life imprisonment. His trial lasted only half a day and was closed to the public, and he was denied the right to due process, access to a lawyer, and a fair trial.

Eight U.K. Parliamentarians have written to the British Foreign Secretary David Lammy this week to ask him and all U.K. ministers and officials to raise Dr. Wang’s case with the Chinese government and call for his immediate release. The letter urges the U.K. government “at every opportunity, public and private, to call on the government of the People’s Republic of China to release Dr Wang Bingzhang and permit his return to the United States to be reunited with his family, immediately and unconditionally.”

The Parliamentarians include the Chair of the U.K. Parliament’s Joint Human Rights Committee Lord Alton of Liverpool, the Director of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute Baroness Helena Kennedy KC, the Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Groups (APPG) on the Uyghurs and Hong Kong Blair McDougall MP, the Chair of the APPG on International Freedom of Religion or Belief Jim Shannon MP, and Luke Taylor MP, urge the Foreign Secretary also to consult and coordinate with the United States, where he lived for over twenty years and where his family still resides.

Dr. Wang’s family members welcome the support from British Parliamentarians. In a statement provided to Fortify Rights on May 26, his daughters Qingyan and Tianan Wang, his son Times Wang, his brother Bingwu Wang, and his sisters Jinhuan, Yuhua and Mei Wang, said:

We are the family of Wang Bingzhang. Every June 27th is a very sad day for us because this is the day when our relative Wang Bingzhang was illegally abducted from Vietnam to China by the Chinese government. Later Wang Bingzhang was illegally sentenced to life imprisonment by China and lost his freedom forever. For 23 years, countries in the world with freedom democracy human rights and rule of law have long spoken out for Wang Bingzhang’s freedom. Today we see British MPs speaking out for Wang Bingzhang again, calling on the Chinese government to release Wang Bingzhang. We believe that this voice of justice will spread throughout the world. Thank you to the British people for their call for justice!

国会议员 Blair McDougall 和上议院议员 Alton 最近也分别向英国下议院和上议院提交了书面质询，国会议员 Jim Shannon 已就此案提交了提前动议

。王炳章医生是国际上尊敬的海外华人民主运动领袖，也是一位杰出的医生。他创办了《中国之春》，该杂志被《时代》杂志誉为“海内外华人恢复民主和自由改革运动的声音，这些改革始于邓小平 1978 年，1980 年停止”。后来，他创办了中国民主联盟，并于 2024 年 5 月荣获自由之家的“自由奖”。2003

年，在王炳章因不公正审判被判处终身监禁后不久，联合国任意拘留问题工作组宣布“对王炳章的拘留是任意的，违反了《世界人权宣言》第九、十和十一条”。

根据国际法，当个人从事受保护的活动，例如行使和平集会自由权和言论自由权时，逮捕和拘留是非法的。

王博士的家人继续争取他的释放，最近成立了一个新的联盟以释放王炳章。

尽管王博士每月被允许接受直系亲属一次探望，每次只有 30 至 40 分钟，并在狱警的监视下，但他的家人由于为他倡导权利而无法获得进入中国的签证，如果他们前往中国，也面临被拘留和监禁的风险。王博士最近一次接受探望是他最小的妹妹王梅在 2024 年 5 月。她报告说，王博士的身心健康状况非常差。

“在‘​​捍卫权利’组织，我们对王博士继续被监禁深感担忧，并支持其家人为释放他而开展的活动，”本尼迪克特·罗杰斯表示。“在被单独监禁23年后，王博士的案件不应被遗忘，这一点至关重要。我们呼吁中国立即无条件释放王博士，并呼吁英国、美国、加拿大和国际社会尽一切努力向中国施压，促使其获释。”
