（泰国-2022年10月25日）   

 

信仰和意向的正式聲明

 

我，潘永光，於2022年8月31日持合法登陸簽證進入泰國，並向曼谷的聯合國難民署提出難民申請。我和我擔任牧師的深圳聖道教會的其他成員，由泰國曼谷庇護保護中心的律師Alex Sonsev代理。

自從我在泰國提交難民申請後，我本人受到威脅和騷擾。我仍然居住在中國的親屬被中國政府脅迫給我打電話，試圖迫使我返回中國。2022年9月5日，在曼谷接受美聯社採訪時，由於來自中國的特工人員進入採訪場所，對我和我們教會成員的採訪不得不停止。當我向聯合國難民署曼谷辦事處提交庇護申請時，我被可疑的人跟蹤。我在現在的住所前被拍到，幫助我的一位牧師三次接到泰國旅行社和泰國移民局的電話，詢問我現在的下落，並堅持要我向泰國當地移民局報到。

基於上述明顯的威脅和未說明的危險：我有可能被中共特工秘密綁架並被送回中國大陸。我也有可能被泰國移民局逮捕，被非法押送到中國大陸，並像其他許多主張宗教自由和人權原則的人一樣，"失蹤 "了。

我宣佈我不會自願返回中國大陸；我不會讓我的家人和教會成員沒有牧師。我不會離開基督教會，我也不會背叛我的信仰。我堅信我的生命屬於耶穌基督，無論在什麼情況下，我都不會選擇自殺。

如果我失去了自由，一切與此聲明相悖的言语、行为，都不是我自己的意願，皆沒有法律效力。

我莊嚴宣誓並證明上述內容是真實的，具有法律效力。

Official Statement of Faith and Intent

 

Name: YONGGUANG PAN

Date: October 25, 2022

 

I, Yongguang Pan entered Thailand on August 31, 2022, on a legal landing visa and filed a refugee claim with the UNHCR in Bangkok.  I, along with the rest of the members of the Shenzhen Holy Reformed Church of which I am the pastor, are represented by Alex Sonsev, a lawyer from the Center for Asylum Protection in Bangkok, Thailand.

I was personally threatened and harassed since submitting my refugee claim in Thailand.  My relatives still residing in China have been coerced by the PRC government to call me and attempt to force me to return to China.  During a September 5, 2022, interview with the Associated Press in Bangkok, interviews with myself and members of our church had to be stopped when operatives from China entered the venue where the interviews were taking place.  When I submitted my asylum application to the UNHCR Bangkok office, I was followed by suspicious persons. I have been filmed in front of my current residence and three times a pastor helping me has received phone calls from a Thailand travel agent and Thailand immigration inquiring of my present whereabouts and insisting that I present myself to the local Thai immigration authorities.

Based on the above apparent threats and the unspecified dangers: the possibility exists that I may be secretly kidnapped by Chinese communist agents and returned to mainland China.  The possibility also exists that I may be arrested by Thai immigration authorities, be illegally escorted to mainland China, and “go disappeared” as have many others who stood for the same principles of religious freedom and human rights that I also espouse.

I declare I will not return to mainland China voluntarily; I will not leave my family and church members without a pastor. I will not leave the Christian Church, and I will not betray my faith. I firmly believe that my life belongs to Jesus Christ, and I will not choose to commit suicide, no matter what the circumstances. 

If I lose my freedom, anything I do or say is not of my own volition, and is contrary to my declaration, and has no legal effect.

I solemnly swear and attest that the above is true and legally valid.
