問題(經簡化及修改)
Q1:哪個政府部門與香港民研聯繫過?
Q2:他們就調查報告的發佈有何建議?
Q3:「風險評估」是否與《國家安全法》或《煽動條例》有關?
Q4:香港民研會否考慮之後再發佈有關調查報告?香港民研會否繼續進行明年的六四事件調查?
香港民研回覆
A1:該部門認為以「政府部門 」的名義即可,傳媒及公眾可自行查詢。
A2:他們建議我們不要公佈有關調查報告。
A3:有關部門沒有向我們告知詳情,我們亦沒有詢問。我們尊重有關部門的評估,但不等於我們會在得悉所有細節後,會認同他們的評估。
A4:我們在知悉有關風險評估前,其實已經開始檢視和策劃民研在今年7月1日之後的運作。我們可能會繼續進行一些追蹤調查,又或改變一些題目只供學術研究或內部參考,又或停止某些調查。目前我們尚未決定六四事件調查的去向。
Questions (simplified and sub-edited)
Q1: Which government department(s) contacted HKPORI?
Q2: What suggestions have they made about the release of the survey report?
Q3: Is the “risk assessment” related to the National Security Law or the Sedition Law?
Q4: Will HKPORI consider releasing the survey report some other time? Will HKPORI continue to conduct the survey on June 4th anniversary next year?
Replies from HKPORI
A1: The department considers it sufficient to be named as a “government department”, media or the public can make their own enquiry.
A2: They advised us not to release the survey report in view of their risk assessment.
A3: We were not told, and we did not ask. We respect their assessment, although we may not necessarily agree with their assessment should we have known the details.
A4: We were already in the process of reviewing our operation after July 1 this year, when this risk assessment came. We may continue to conduct some of our tracking surveys, and/or keep some of them for academic or private reference only, and/or stop some of the surveys. We have not yet decided where to put the June 4th anniversary survey, so we have not yet decided how to handle this year’s survey report.
