墨尔本再发印度学生遭遇种族暴力攻击 在澳印裔设立救助电话热线 - #74楼

villa

据2009年1月4日《Sunday Herald Sun》报道，近期墨尔本频发专门针对印度裔移民和留学生的种族暴力攻击案件，特别是墨尔本西区，类似罪案发生太过频繁以致于警方和政府成立专案组予以打击。维州警方、政府和印度驻墨尔本领事馆都参与配合这一专案组行动，以保护在墨尔本的印度裔移民和留学生。

印度媒体广泛报道了这些种族暴力攻击案，这正威胁着维州数以亿元计的国际留学生教育出口业。去年的统计数据显示，维州共有35,000名印度留学生。

一些印度裔移民和留学生迁离了墨尔本西部城区，因为他们在那里不再有安全感。

Footscray，St Albans和Sunshine是这些暴力事件的高发区域。





Big rise in attacks on Indians


January 04, 2009 12:00am  Article from: Sunday Herald Sun

INDIAN students are being terrorised by gangs of thugs in Melbourne's suburbs in racially-motivated attacks.

The number of crimes being committed against Indians, mainly in the western suburbs, has so alarmed police and the Government that several taskforces have been formed in response.

The problem is being widely reported in India, threatening Victoria's multi-million-dollar foreign student industry.

Police, the Government and the Indian consulate have joined forces to try to protect Indian students and residents, some of whom are moving out of the western suburbs because they no longer feel safe.

With almost 35,000 Indian students studying in Victoria last year, The Times of India has hosted forums on whether Melbourne is safe, saying the suburbs had "increasingly turned unsafe with a good number of attacks on migrant youth".

The Times also reported last year: "Some of these crimes bear the us-and-them racial overtone."

Footscray, St Albans and Sunshine are trouble hot-spots, with police increasing their presence at train stations to curb the violence.

Founder of the Footscray-based Bharat Times, Dinesh Malhotra, said crimes against Indian residents and students had risen in the past year.

"Sunshine is pretty bad, quite violent for the Indian residents and the students," he said.

He said Melbourne was not a racist city and it was a minority who were targeting Indian students for bashings and robberies.

Community leaders said Indian students were considered a soft target because they were not aggressive and often carried the latest gadgets such as mobile phones and iPods.

As they were required to pay full fees at university and colleges, most worked to support themselves and were often travelling alone on public transport at high-risk times such as late at night.

As officials react to the violence:

* A POSTER urging Indian students to speak out against crime was distributed at train stations across the western suburbs.

* A POLICE crackdown in the Brimbank and Maribyrnong municipalities saw 50 charges laid over attacks on foreign students in four months, with police identifying 150 victims.

* FOOTSCRAY police and Victoria University compiled a DVD with safety advice for new students.

Footscray MP Marsha Thomson, who has also set up a taskforce, said: "An Indian student came into my office to see me... he'd been assaulted."

She said she was concerned students were too afraid to report crimes, as they incorrectly feared interaction with police might harm their migration chances.

Ms Thomson also chaired a committee which reported in December: "  Public perceptions, both domestically and overseas, of overseas students' safety and welfare, highlighted in recent media articles... have the potential to deter new students from choosing Victoria as their preferred destination for study and research."

Commander Trevor Carter said police had been aware of the problem for 12 to 18 months.

"There was a range of victims, but people of Indian backgrounds were over-represented in the crime statistics," he said.

Police launched an operation, code-named Repped, to have a strong presence around train stations to curb gangs.

Commander Carter said there was no specific ethnic group targeting the Indian students.

Police would not release figures on how many attacks on Indian students had been recorded.

Two Indian men who live in Melbourne, Bunty Mirpuri, 27, and Karan Chadha, 23, have moved out of the western suburbs due to safety concerns.

Mr Mirpuri, who is now an Australian citizen and runs a car-wash, employs Indian students and said several of them had been attacked in recent months.

"There is a lot of abuse, a few people got robbed at knife-point," he said.

Mr Chadha said most people were tolerant, but some accused Indians of taking Australian jobs.

"There have been many incidents... two of my friends were attacked and one received a fracture and spent six or seven days in hospital," he said.

"Some people feel we shouldn't come here from overseas."

Indian university student David speaks about being bashed by a gang of four men.




据2008年5月8日《The Age》报道，最近两周，墨尔本北区屡次发生团伙抢劫打人案件。

共有六名行人在夜间被一个四人团伙抢劫攻击，其中一个星期六就有五人被袭。这四人团伙成员都是年龄在20岁左右的欧裔年轻人，作案时脸上都蒙着白色或黑色的大头巾。

本周一晚10点左右，21岁的印度留学生David从Pascoe Vale火车站下车回住处，结果被这四人围殴并抢走了手机、背包和钱包里仅有的$10块钱。他本人则被拳打脚踢，鼻青脸肿，不省人事，在医院里躺了10多个小时，头部和脸上缝了好多针。David抵达澳洲仅仅两个半月。

Broadmeadows警局抢劫专案组的高级警官Steve Signorini表示，被抢劫殴打的受害人有男有女，来自不同的文化背景。两周前的星期六，北区Coburg、Strathmore和Glenroy更在一天之内共有五人被抢劫。他呼吁这些地区的居民在夜间独自行走时小心观察周边的情况。








2008年12月2日，超过100名印度裔移民和留学生游行到墨尔本西区Sunshine警局，抗议近期频发的针对印度裔暴力事件，要求警方加强保护措施。





Stop the violence, demand Indians


December 3, 2008   Source: www.theage.com.au

MORE than 100 men marched on Sunshine police station last night to protest against what they claim is police inaction on crimes targeting people of Indian background.

The group met outside an Indian supermarket in a street where a man was savagely beaten during an armed robbery on Monday night.

They claim that local police took at least 50 minutes to respond to an emergency call at 6.40pm, despite being told that between 10-15 men were attacking the store.

The group last night demanded police release security footage of the incident to help identify the attackers. They also called for justice for the victim, Sukhraj Singh, who was last night in a serious but stable condition in the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

"We want a personal police presence, and a change in police attitude," spokesman Vinodh Bommrasipet said. "They treat us like animals."

Dayajot Singh, who has been living in the Sunshine area for three years, said he had heard of more than 20 cases during that period in which police had failed to take satisfactory action on violent attacks against people of Indian background. "  Police never take complaints seriously, even when they are given details," he said.

Mr Singh later handed an official complaint to Sunshine police station.

Another protester, Anandbir Singh, called for regular police patrols around the Sunshine train station. "  Please tell the police they should patrol the area more, because the overseas students have a lot of trouble," he said. "A lot of students return from university late and they have to walk around this area alone."

The men walked to Sunshine police station at around 9pm, where they talked to police for over an hour. They say they will hold further protests if police do not respond to their concerns.

A Victoria Police spokesman last night denied police were ignoring crimes against the local Indian community.

He said police were called out to an armed robbery involving up to 15 youths with sticks at the supermarket, but said the initial incident was reported at 7pm.

Video footage of the attack has been handed over to the special armed robbery taskforce, and will be released if public help is needed, he said.

Gone home: Indian student Kanan Kharbanda was attacked at Sunshine railway station by a group of 10. He was left partially blind and has now returned to India.




●2008年1月22日晚，一伙年轻歹徒在墨尔本西区Footscray一家麦当劳餐厅闲聊，有人提议专门去找印度人进行打劫（‘‘curry-bashing’’）。于是这伙人驱车在街上游荡，寻找目标，结果在路上碰到41岁的墨尔本维多利亚大学华裔数学研究员曹中军博士，这群歹徒不但抢劫还将曹博士殴打致死。随后这伙青少年的三人又在另外一处地方毒打并抢劫了另一名无辜的毛里求斯裔男子，只因他长得象印度人。

●2008年3月，26岁印度留学生Kanan Kharbanda在Sunshine被一群10人团伙围殴，导致两眼几乎失明，目前已返回印度医治。另一名20岁留学生Kanwerdeep Singh被一名歹徒抢劫手机，腿部也被刀扎伤。

●2008年4月29日清晨六点左右，23岁的印度留学生Jalvinder Singh开夜班出租车在墨尔本市中心以北Clifton Hill区被刺多刀倒在血泊中，其中一刀距离心脏仅1厘米，伤势严重，神志不清，身体冰冷。经两个星期的抢救才逃出死神魔掌。这是一年来第三起出租车司机被人捅刀子事件，其中一名才二十岁的司机更被刺身亡。

第二天清晨，天气寒冷，但近千名印度裔出租车司机聚集在墨尔本市中心主要街道上游行示威，要求就前天一名印度裔学生出租车司机被刺案与州政府直接对话，强烈呼吁政府给出租车司机提供更多人身安全保护。下午维州州政府不得不出来谈判并达成妥协协议，几乎答应了司机们提出的所有要求。

●2008年5月6晚10点左右，21岁的印度留学生David从墨尔本北区Pascoe Vale火车站下车回住处，结果被这四人围殴并抢走了手机、背包和钱包里仅有的$10块钱。他本人则被拳打脚踢，鼻青脸肿，不省人事，在医院里躺了10多个小时，头部和脸上缝了好多针。David抵达澳洲仅仅两个半月。

●2008年9月27日晚，澳洲最受尊敬的资深医生之一、前澳洲医疗协会主席印度裔Mukesh Haikerwal在墨尔本Williamstown一条街上遭六人团伙暴力攻击，被打翻在地，不省人事。

●2008年10月，40岁的印度移民Biju K. Joseph在一个火车站被4人围殴，伤势危及生命。

原因只有一个，就是澳洲量刑太轻，抓着就该重判，起码对这帮孙子在精神肉体上的惩罚要严重过受害人所遭受的。伤人杀人之后还可以继续逍遥，基本上就是鼓励那些人渣犯罪。

在此关头,我们和印度人没什么两样,都是外来移民,都是非白人, 都是漂在澳洲...我们是同病相怜的.可以先放下对印度人的看法,毕竟主要的矛盾在于白人对少数族裔的侵害. 这是关切到我们的自身利益.我们或许对印度人有这样或那样的看法,但那毕竟是对人品和性格的判断, 而无论判断的结果怎样,侵害别人,这是绝对的错误,.尤其是对少数族裔的人身伤害.
还记得希特勒么,他不就是先从煽动对犹太人的歧视发动了人类历史上最残酷的浩劫么? 俄罗斯的秃头党不也是正在反华人么?我们不能以为那些少数渣子歧视印度人,就认为印度人低等,华人不受欺负就是高一等,这种看法要不就是沾沾自喜的心态--除了白人我就是第二了;要不就是抱着侥幸能逃脱种族歧视的心态.

我们来澳洲的目的不就是向往自由,民主,和平么? 请不要自己为自己设上等级,也不要做埋头的鸵鸟, 澳洲历史上会因为有我们的一笔而更加进步.

xyj

动不动就是种族的真是不好，还是要因人而异，有些国家的人比如说一些印度人因为他的国家的历史文化等和别人的差异形成了一些也许在我们眼里比较烦人的习惯，不喜欢的话可以远离，但是请记住把尊重别人永远放在第一位，因为想让别人尊重你的前提是你需要尊重别人，否则总这么片面地看问题尤其是种族问题会越发得让人感觉到无知和不自尊。

据2009年2月19日《The Age》报道，为了抑制墨尔本西区频繁的抢劫事件，警方建议印度学生不要使用他们的母语大声说话，并且不要把身边值钱的东西示人。

去年发生在西区的抢劫案上升了27％，警方估计其中三分之一的受害者是因为长着印度人的外表。

警方已成立了一个特别小组侦破此类带有种族攻击色彩的抢劫案，主要是因为担心印度留学生成为罪犯的主要目标。这些留学生经常在晚上随身携带手提电脑和MP3等搭乘火车，很容易引起犯罪分子的注意。

Brimbank 警局Scott Mahony警官表示，留学生们应该保持基本的警惕和戒心。“他们需要确保自己单独行走时的路线光线充足，不要显示出自己随身带有值钱的东西如手机和 iPod等，也不要大声的用印度语讲话。”“我们确信有些受害者之所以成为犯罪者的目标是因为他们印度人的外表。”








Indians told to keep low profile

INDIAN students will be taught not to speak loudly in their native tongue or display signs of wealth such as iPods when travelling on trains at night, as part of a strategy to crack down on violent robberies.

- Jump in robberies
- Warning for international students
- New support teams

Robberies in Melbourne's western suburbs jumped by 27 per cent last financial year. Police estimated almost a third of victims were of Indian appearance.

Are you an Indian student who has experienced a racial attack? Email us: scoop@theage.com.au

A special police group has been formed to combat the robberies amid fears that some are racially motivated and that Indian international students are soft targets because they carry iPods and laptops on trains late at night.

The Federation of Indian Students of Australia says Melbourne, which has about 33,000 Indian international students, may no longer be seen as a safe destination.

Inspector Scott Mahony, of Brimbank police, said it was crucial to stop Indian students becoming victims and address their mistrust of police.

"They need to make sure they walk through a well-lit route, even if it might be longer, and they are not openly displaying signs of wealth with iPods and phones, and not talking loudly in their native language," Inspector Mahony said.

" We do believe there are some where the victim is targeted because of Indian appearance."

Dayajot Singh, who helped organise a protest last year over attacks on Indians, said Indian students should be taught crime prevention as part of their university induction course. "They should be taught that if you go on public transport in this country, people don't talk loudly, they talk in a low voice. If you talk loudly it could be taken as violent behaviour. It's different cultural behaviour — speaking loudly to each other is not taken offence to in India."

He said an important message was not to carry valuables on trains at night.

Federation of Indian Students of Australia president Raman Vaid said most students carried valuables. "It's not being told to other communities or other students, 'Don't speak loudly in your native tongue, don't carry laptops'," he said.

Mr Vaid said racist attacks gave Indian students a bad impression and could encourage them to study in other states or countries.

The Police Indian Western Reference Group was formed after 100 Indian men marched on Sunshine police station in December to protest against what they said was a poor response to the attacks.

Mr Singh said police had since met representatives of the Indian community and police behaviour had improved.

Police were frustrated that the crime prevention message did not appear to be getting through. "We need to re-examine what we are doing to find out why it's not working," Inspector Mahony said.

Ricky Ahluwalia told The Age he was knocked unconscious and robbed last year while walking to his Albion home from the station at night. "There is a lot of racism. My friends, they have always had the same problems. It only happens with Indians, no Asians, no other people."

Other attacks on Indians include the stabbing of taxi driver Jalvinder Singh last year and the bashing of former Australian Medical Association president Mukesh Haikerwal.

Victoria University academic Dr Zhongjun Cao was bashed to death in Footscray last year. He was not Indian, but the court heard two gang members suggested they go out "curry bashing". Four members later bashed and robbed a second man, Binesh Mosaheb, a Mauritian, believing he was Indian.

Last month, communications and peer support teams, made up of police and Indian community representatives, were set up. Inspector Mahony said the peer support team would provide support to Indian victims of crime and explain cultural differences.

"Some people simply had no concept of the meaning of bail and how we can arrest an offender on a robbery charge and they can be back on the street the next day," he said. "The perception was that offenders get away with crime."

Indian students had raised concerns police had not responded immediately to victims' calls or notified them when arrests were made. "There is a perception we don't care, and we have to do a lot of work around changing that perception," he said.

Robberies in the western suburbs, including Brimbank, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Melton and Wyndham, jumped from 417 in 2006-07 to 530 in 2007-2008.
