Foreign students targeted

ANOTHER attack on international students has sparked claims police are out of touch and in denial about the problem.

Two youths, aged 17 and 18, allegedly threw items at the University of Tasmania students on Friday.
Police said the youths were at a bus stop on Churchill Ave, Sandy Bay, when they allegedly threw eggs at the students as they drove by.

The young men will appear in the Hobart Magistrate Court charged with discharging a missile.

Inspector Craig Waterhouse of State Community Policing Services said there was no evidence to suggest the incident was racially motivated.

However, Multicultural Council of Tasmania chairman Davor Perovic said police needed to acknowledge the problem or a solution would not be found.

"To deny anything is wrong is to encourage the villain and that has me concerned," Mr Perovic said.

"We need changes in our police so we can come clean and truly address this matter."

The attack comes just weeks after the murder of Chinese student Zhang Yu prompted revelations that racist taunts and attacks, with eggs and bottles, were far more common than authorities admit.

Tasmania Police says the murder was opportunistic, not racially motivated.

But the recent attack has escalated the university's concerns for international student safety.

UTAS international services director Paul Rigby said there had been a significant increase in perceived racist attacks on international students in Tasmania recently.

"The reports range from physical and verbal abuse, theft, to egg-throwing and water-bombing," Mr Rigby said.

"While some of these events may be opportunistic rather than racist, it is apparent that a very small minority of Tasmanians see international students as a soft target."

Mr Rigby said the offenders involved were usually young and operated in groups.

He said the issue of under-reporting racist incidents was significant and needed to be addressed.

Mr Rigby believes many students do not report the incidents to police because of cultural barriers.

"Many of our students come from countries in which there is a fear of authority, and there may be a consequent reluctance to report incidents to police," he said.

Mr Rigby said reporting of racist incidents was also low because of lenience in Tasmanian courts.

"A further complication is that when charges are laid sentences appear to be very light and students are concerned there may be repercussions from the same offender," he said.

Mr Rigby said a 2008 incident in Hobart's bus mall was just one example of the injustice.

An 18-year-old received only a good-behaviour bond after telling a 15-year-old Asian boy to "go back to your own country" before stabbing him and stealing his mobile phone.

Mr Rigby acknowledged police had made huge efforts to work with education providers and other groups to ensure victims felt comfortable and confident making reports.

But he called for a united front to resolve the issues.

"International students come to Tasmania, many at a very young age, because of the quality of the education and the lifestyle offered here," he said.

"Whether they will continue to come in the future depends very largely on how we as a community respond to them: do we welcome them into a safe environment in which they can live and study or will we tolerate a tiny minority of hoons and bigots who have the potential to damage our international reputation as a place of peace and harmony?"

Insp Waterhouse said there was a lot of good work being done by good people to improve Tasmania.

好消息，希望以后不会再发生此类事件。

到目前为止还没有具体的措施能从根本上杜绝这个问题
关注度越高，这个问题将会越严重

大多数仍东西的人们都是无知的少年，绝着好玩，但是现在他们知道了如果在这样就可能会上法庭，有警察纪录，我想一般他们就不敢了，起码心里会掂量一下。

作者: rambler 时间: 2009-7-19 12:46
他们几岁能开车上路，至少是P牌，17岁以后吧，18岁就是成年了，不应该再算是少年了
我个人怀疑是种族主义情绪
他们为什么不砸LOCAL的学生或者白人学生呢

LS所说我也认同，都17，8岁了，不是小孩了

又一件国际学生遭受袭击声讨了警察对于此类事件的否认和不干涉。
根据分别为17和18岁的两个年青人的陈述，他们在星期五向塔斯马尼亚大学学生丢砸物品。
警察称依据陈述这些年青人在CHURCHILL AVE的巴士站附近，SANDY BAY，开车尾随学生并且朝其投掷鸡蛋。
这些年青人将会出现在霍巴特地方法庭以非法投掷物品被控告。
社区警务的检察员 Craig Waterhouse 称没有足够的证据来证明这些事件是因为种族动机。
然而，塔斯马尼亚多文化理事会主席Davor Perovic 说警方要承认问题否则他们将不会找到问题的解决方案。
Perovic说“否认每件事是错误的，这是在给我所担忧的那些恶人的鼓舞。”
“我们的警方需要改变，那样我们才能全盘招供并给大众一个交代。”
此次袭击仅仅发生在中国留学生TINA谋杀案侦破的后几周。种族主义者的辱骂和用鸡蛋瓶子等的攻击更是远远超过了人权所能容忍的。
塔斯马尼亚警方称，谋杀只是机会性的并非起因于种族动机。但是日趋平凡的袭击事件使得大学为学生的人生安全更加担忧。
塔斯马尼亚大学国际部主任Paul Rigby 说，在这段日子里这些国际学生受袭更广泛地被认为种族主义袭击。
Rigby称，报告中有涉及到人身的和口头的攻击和辱骂，偷窃，砸鸡蛋，水炸弹。一些事件可能是偶然的而并非种族原因，显然极少数塔斯马尼亚居民把国际学生当做目标。但是涉及这类事件的罪犯都很年轻并且成群出击。
他说对于这些对于种族主义事件的低估是十分严重的，并且他们需要给大众满意答复。
我们的留学生对有权利的人颇有恐惧感，结果他们不敢向警方报案陈述此类事件。他又说关于种族主义者事件的报道很少也有原因是塔斯马尼亚法庭对他们的仁慈。
将来的事情可能变得复杂化。如果法院对于这些犯罪分子的惩戒过轻，那些国际学生很可能会被同样的犯罪所伤害。
08年巴士商业街只是非正义中的一个例子。18岁的年青人在告诉一个15岁亚洲男孩滚回老家后只是收到个良好行为协定。然而之后，他却刺了亚洲男孩并盗走其手机。
Rigby承认警方在教育提供者和使其他受害者敢于发表报告上做了巨大努力。但是他希望号召起一个联合阵线来解决此类事件。
他说，许多年轻的留学生来到塔斯马尼亚是因为这里的教育和生活方式。
他们是否将来还会继续来这求学，在于我们如何作为一个社会团体回复他们：我们是否欢迎他们来这里学习和生活，我们是否会容忍那些将会影响到我们和谐的国际声誉的顽固人士。
Waterhouse发表说，许多良好的塔斯马尼亚居民正在努力改善着这片土地。

我也觉得是种族主义情绪，只是政府要是那样说，我们有什么办法？

受袭事件上报表格

大家好，

现在UTAS校方和塔州警方在集中调查留学生被扔鸡蛋等类似事件，校方希望受袭同学积极向他们报告，他们会集中整理并报告警方。警方会以此为准，在事件多发区增派警力，增加照明设配，加强对留学生安全的保护。受校方委托，现在把上报表格发布如下，大家可以此为参考标准，向campus security 报告(校警电话：6226 7600. 见学生证背面)；或者直接去 International Service 填写表格并交至其Reception.

请所有遭遇过此类事件的同学们，行动起来，积极报告，因为你的行动会减少同胞们受袭事件的再次发生，你的报告对所有留学生的安全至关重要！
