【新唐人2013年10月24日訊】中國大陸繼《新快報》記者劉虎因「涉嫌誹謗罪」被批捕後，日前，另一名記者陳永洲，也被湖南省長沙市公安局的警察帶走，隨後，陳永洲被控「涉嫌損害企業商譽罪」被刑拘。23號，《新快報》頭版刊登：「請放人」，24號《新快報》頭版再次刊登「再請放人」，要求警方釋放被抓的記者。
據《新快報》報導，18號，報社記者陳永洲，因發表有關批評「中聯重科股份有限公司」的報導，在廣州被長沙警方以「涉嫌損害商業信譽罪」跨省刑事拘留。
陳永洲是繼劉虎之後，第二個被抓的《新快報》記者。劉虎通過微博，實名舉報多名中共副部級官員及一些地方官員。他被抓的罪名是﹕涉嫌製造傳播謠言。
而陳永洲自去年9月以來，曾連續發表十篇有關「中聯重科股份有限公司」的報導，當中涉及「利潤虛增」、「利益輸送」、「畸形營銷」及「涉嫌造假」等一系列批評性文章。今年7月，「中聯重科」董事長助理高輝，在微博中連續發文，直指陳永洲的文章抹黑「中聯重科」，因此導致公司股價大幅下降。
隨後，《新快報》作出澄清，也發表聲明控告「中聯重科」和高輝。報社在民事起訴狀中指出，高輝在未有任何證據的情況下，蓄意將《新快報》相關報導描述為虛假報導，企圖 混淆視聽，嚴重損害了報社聲譽，並侵犯了報導記者的合法權益。因此要求法院判決被告賠償《新快報社》損失1元、賠償記者陳永洲精神損失費10萬元，並賠禮道歉。
同時，報社在沉默了幾天後，在頭版打出了三個巨大字體：「請放人」，並且在頭版正中顯著位置寫道：「敝報雖小，窮骨頭，還是有那麼兩根的。」
原北京《百姓》雜誌主編 黃良天：「因為揭露醜聞被抓的記者，在中國大陸是很經常的事情，但是大部分出現這種事情以後就撇清了，《新快報》以一個媒體，向刑事部門叫版，在中國大陸還是第一次，敢於向當局抗爭。所以，《新快報》這種做法還是值得讚揚的。」
記者致電《新快報》，總編室人員表示「不方便」接受採訪。不過，陳永洲的薛姓同事表示，陳永洲為人不錯，他支持報社的呼籲。
據了解，長沙市公安局直屬分局早在今年9月16號已對陳永洲立案處理，並在10月15號發出網上追捕，而陳永洲一直被蒙在鼓裡，處於正常工作狀態。
美國中文雜誌《中國事務》總編輯 伍凡：「地方勢力保護自己的利益，跨省抓人，中國的一些法學院的院長，一些有名的律師都出來講話，過分了，記者報導這個事情，你認為報導不實，那就打官司，不能隨便抓人。」
大陸媒體人紛紛表示：記者還有安全感嗎？
有人說：「我相信，大家的憤怒絕不是為記者可能存在的問題背書，而是對警方粗暴執法的抗議。」
《新快報》則以無奈的語調說：「因為我們一直以為，只要負責任的去做報導，就不會有問題﹔萬一出現問題，我們登報更正，致歉﹔實在嚴重，對簿公堂，輸了官司，該怎麼賠就怎麼賠，該關門就關門，那也是活該。但事實證明，我們太天真了。」
黃良天：「現在這種警察部門、政府部門，在目前情況下，已經淪為資本家的打手，已經跟利益集團綁在一起，記者是困難重重的，他面對的是一個非常強勢的一個公權力。」
「中聯重科股份有限公司」創立於1992年，主要從事建築工程、能源工程、環境工程、交通工程等基礎設施建設所需重大高新技術裝備的研發製造。公司註冊資本77.06億元，員工3萬多人。去年，「中聯重科」下屬各經營單位實現收入超過900億元，利潤和稅金（利稅）總額超過120億元。

Reporters Arrested in China for Muckraking
Following the arrest of reporter Li Hu, reporter
Chen Yongzhou from the Express was arrested recently
by Hunan Changsha Public Security Bureau.
Chen was charged on suspicion of damage
to corporate reputation.
On October 24, the Express published, “Please Release
Our Reporter” on its front page.
According to the Express’ report, on October 18, Chen
was arrested in Guangzhou for publishing criticizing reports
regarding Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science
and Technology Co., Ltd.
Guangzhou police detained him for alleged damage
to Zoomlion’s business reputation.
After Liu Hu, Chen Yongzhou is the second reporter
to have been arrested in China.
Liu Hu was arrested for using his blog to report on many
vice-ministerial and some local officials.
Liu was charged with suspicion
of creating and spreading rumors.
Since last September, Chen published ten articles about
Zoomlion involving inflated profits, benefits,
deformity marketing and suspected fraud.
In July 2013, Gao Hui, assistant chairman of Zoomlion,
said in his blog that Chen Yongzhou discredited Zoomlion
and caused the company’s share price to drop significantly.
Subsequently, the Express also issued a statement against
Zoomlion and Gao Hui.
In a civil lawsuit, the Express alleged that Gao Hui aimed
to distort newspaper reports to confuse the public, causing
serious damage to the newspaper’s reputation and violating
the legitimate rights and interests of Chen Yongzhou.
Therefore, the Express asked the court to rule that
the defendant compensate the newspaper 1 yuan,
the reporter 100,000 yuan, and issue an apology.
Meanwhile, the newspaper was silent for a few days, and then
published on the front page, in huge print,
the words “Please Release Our Reporter.”
In the middle of the front page were the words, “although our
newspaper is small, we’ve got a few ounces of courage.”
Huang Liangtian, former chief editor of People:
“Muckraking reporters being arrested is common in China.
However, the Express, as a media, took it to court,
and this is the first time.
The Express dares to fight against authorities
and is commendable.”
When a reporter called the Express, the chief editor’s office
staff said that it was inconvenient to be interviewed.
However, a co-worker of Chen Yongzhou said that
he supported the newspaper’s call.
It is understood that the Changsha City Public Security Bureau
Branch processed Chen’s case as early as September 16,
and issued an online hunt on October 15.
However, Chen was totally in the dark and worked as usual.
Wu Fan, chief editor of China affairs: “Local authorities
protect their own interests and arrest people inter-provincially.
A number of well-known law school deans and lawyers spoke
out that they should take reporters to court
if they think reports are false,
but they cannot arrest reporters like that.”
Mainland media people asked, “Will reporters feel safe?”
Someone says, “I believe everyone is angry.
That is by no means just to endorse reporters,
but to protest against the brutal law enforcement.”
The Express said helplessly, “We have always thought that
if we report responsibly, there should be no problem.
If anything happens, we can correct and apologize;
if it is really serious, we go to court.
If we lose, we deserve to pay or close our door,
But the fact proves that we are too naïve.”
Huang Liangtian: “Now the police and government
departments have turned into thugs for the capitalists.
Reporters encounter enormous difficulties,
and they are facing a very strong public power.”
Zoomlion was founded in 1992, and mainly engaged
in construction, energy, engineering, environmental engineering,
traffic engineering and other infrastructure required
or the development of major high-tech manufacturing equipment.
The company is registered with 7.706 billion capital
and 30,000 employees.
Last year, Zoomlion had revenue over 90 billion yuan,
profits and taxes totaling more than 12 billion.
