Gurkha Protest in HK - SHOTDEAD

[Lee_Gong_Yaw]

There are lots of Gurkhas protesting in the UK for their disappointment in benefits serving as mercenary for the UK. They are a huge neglected lot.

In HK the Gurkhas are unemployed and retrenched from security jobs.

HK police shot dead one of them.

About a thousand of them are protesting against HK police now.

肉搏三分钟 警员轰毙非法入境尼泊尔男子

　　「放低武器……咪郁……否则开枪……唔好逼我」！「警魔」徐步高枪杀同袍事件三周年，何文田红灯山发生警员轰毙疑犯案。

　　「放低武器……咪郁……否则开枪……唔好逼我」！「警魔」徐步高枪杀同袍事件三周年，何文田红灯山发生警员轰毙疑犯案，一名非法入境尼泊尔男子在山边面向民居撒尿，铁骑警员接投诉率先登山调查，却遇反抗，被狂汉用木椅袭击，警员喷尽整支胡椒喷雾，仍无法制服对方，再三警告下，近距离连轰两枪，将其轰毙。

　　警员在何文田山边截查可疑尼汉遇袭，在惊慄三分钟混战后，鸣枪将他击毙。死者约四十岁，无任何证件，疑匿居本港尼泊尔人，露宿何文田乐民新邨对面、人称「红灯山」山边小径逾年，他被其中一枪击中，子弹由左面颊近耳珠位置射入头部重伤，送院后六句钟不治，警方在一棵树上发现一张似是死亡预告的尼泊尔文字条，指有人要死，吁家人节食，含意耐人寻味。

　　遇袭开枪警员三十岁，绰号「可乐」，身材高大，当差约十年，现隶属红磡分区巡逻小队，背部及右前臂受伤。

　　现场是何文田乐民新邨，与何文田配水库游乐场之间山边，警方消息称，昨中午十二时四十分，一男子在山边小解，住在乐民新邨一对母女在住所窗旁目击对方不雅举动，更见对方窃笑，即报警投诉被滋扰。

　　两名铁骑巡警奉命驰至调查，两警员分头登山搜寻撒尿男子，其中绰号「可乐」警员，沿石级登山，约五分钟后抵达山边小径，发现一可疑尼汉上前截查，但遭遇反抗，被对方挥拳打面，连忙拉动「紧急掣」。

　　乐民新邨一名目击者表示，遇袭警员取出胡椒喷雾器，向尼汉喷射，但仍无法将其制服。尼汉再取一张木椅敲打路旁铁栏发出巨响，再发狂高举木椅袭击警员，警员以警棍还击，双方埋身肉搏，连椅背亦打断，警员大声喝止，再向尼汉喷射胡椒喷雾，将整支胡椒喷雾喷光，对方仍不就范。

　　警员再大声喝称：「放低武器……咪郁……否则开枪……唔好逼我。」说话响彻山边，警员一度后退，但尼汉再扑过来，双方再展开混战，警员再三警告无效，拔出佩枪，向尼汉轰两枪，第一枪落空，第二枪命中巴汉，他当场重伤昏迷倒地。警员拾起一条白毛巾挥舞，通知同袍其身处位置。

　　由截查尼汉至开枪历时约三分钟，大批警员穿避弹衣赶至增援，由消防员用担架牀，将中枪尼汉抬下山，再由救护人员送往伊利沙伯医院抢救，延至傍晚六时十四分不治。

　　受伤警员将佩枪等装备交予上司，由救护员包扎手臂，自行落山送院，警方出动半百警员封锁现场蒐证，惟未能寻回发射落空的其中一粒弹头，今日将再度搜索，案件由九龙城警区重案组接手侦查。

　　九龙城警区副指挥官黄进展称，事发时警员被人用木椅不断袭击，先后使用警棍及整支胡椒喷雾，仍未能制服疑犯，感到生命受威胁，唯有使用仅余的佩枪制服疑犯。

Gurkhas demand govt stop foot-dragging over rights AFP/File – Former Gurkha soldier Lachhiman Gurungi in London in October 2008 during a protest. Actress Joanna Lumley …
Tue Mar 17, 8:45 am ET

LONDON (AFP) – Actress Joanna Lumley led a protest by Gurkhas outside London's High Court Tuesday as they demanded the government stop dragging its feet over a court ruling allowing them to settle here.

Holding placards outside the court, they asked judges for an injunction forcing ministers to carry out a decision in September that approved extending the right to stay permanently in Britain to all Gurkha veterans.

At the moment, only Gurkha soldiers who retired after 1997 -- when their base was moved from Hong Kong to Britain -- have the automatic right to stay permanently.

All other foreign soldiers in the army can settle in Britain after four years' service.

"We want the High Court to say that the new policy must be applied forthwith, immediately," Lumley, whose father fought alongside the Gurkhas in World War II, said.

Describing the delay in implementing the court ruling as "disgraceful," Lumley said that more than 1,300 Gurkhas wanted the right to settle in Britain, but the government had not reviewed any of their cases.

A spokesman for the interior ministry said revised guidance on the issue was "currently under consideration and will be issued as soon as possible. Once we have published the guidance, all cases will be reviewed.

"We are determined to get the guidance right to ensure that it is fair to all Gurkhas. This has involved consultation across government."

Almost 250,000 people signed a petition, handed to Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Downing Street office in November, saying all Gurkha veterans should be allowed to settle in Britain.

Around 3,500 Gurkhas currently serve in the army, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, where two of the Nepalese soldiers have died this month. More than 45,000 in total have died serving Britain.

尼籍保安罷工4天 G4S炒百人
李卓人斥「玉石俱焚」 勞處查是否歧視職工會 2009-01-23

【明報專訊】跨國保安公司G4S約200名尼泊爾籍保安員為爭取加薪而發起的罷工，昨日已踏入第4日，行動不但未取得突破，該公司更於下午突然宣布因業務受到工潮影響，即時解僱100名保安員，當中不少是參與罷工的員工。職工盟批評公司拒絕談判，並採取「玉石俱焚」方法，工會會蒐集證據投訴公司歧視職工會。

勞工處發言人表示，會盡量協助員工，並已設立熱線2928 7002，供受影響員工查詢。勞工處亦會調查公司是否涉嫌歧視職工會，若有足夠證據會提出檢控。

G4S﹕工潮影響業務 人手需求減

G4S保安公司鲔喀服務部約200名尼泊爾裔保安員在本周二發起罷工，他們主要不滿公司總部由05至07年度每年盈利均達10多億港元，但尼泊爾裔員工卻未能與本地員工看齊，多年未獲加薪，故要求公司將月薪由1萬增至1.4萬元，並發放雙糧。

勞資雙方經過多日談判未有結果，公司日前只答應增加300元勤工獎，及只承諾減少用合約制聘用及將他們職級與其他同事看齊等。

但公司突然在昨日下午召開記者會。執行董事黃偉才表示，工潮已影響到公司業務，流失部分客戶，人手需求減少，故已向100名員工發出遣散通知，公司會透過調配人手以減低影響。

他續稱，勞資雙方曾兩度談判，雙方在前日已達成協議，資方提出發放300元勤工獎，但員方強調應將勤工獎納入底薪。

員工圖闖寫字樓 車場重裝保安戒備

當聽到公司遣散100名員工消息後，正在公司門外罷工的保安員情緒激動，一度企圖衝入寫字樓，而公司亦作出戒備，甚至安排多名身穿避彈衣及手持長槍的保安員駐守在解款車出入口。員工其後在晚上散去，聲言會在今日繼續抗爭行動。

職工盟秘書長李卓人批評G4S此舉是玉石俱焚，並質疑公司是借今次事件顯示公司不會向罷工員工屈服，以便向其他同事，甚至其他國家分公司製造寒蟬效應。

職工盟一直協助該班員工，但李卓人否認「錯估形勢」，因為今次罷工的尼泊爾保安員主要看守一些優質、高級物業，原估計公司未必可以即時找到員工代替，但想不到公司寧願玉石俱焚。工盟組織幹事李凱亦表示，由於公司是採用掛號信形式通知員工，故暫時未能點算有多少罷工員工被解僱，要待今日才能掌握具體情。

今續罷工 被炒員工蒐歧視證據

員工今日中午會回到公司位於青山道的總部繼續罷工。部分被遣散員工則會到其以前工作崗位蒐集證據，若公司已派人代替其工作，而非公司所言「工作消失」，便會要求勞工處檢控公司歧視職工會。
