澳大利亚联邦警察呼吁社区警惕外国干预 第二名涉外国干预罪成者上月被判入狱
澳大利亚联邦警察（AFP）10月19日发布声明，呼吁全澳各社区对外国干预保持警惕、报告可疑活动。声明发布的背景是，上月澳大利亚法院第二名因外国干预罪名被定罪判刑的人已被判入狱。
AFP 说，外国干预指其他国家政府或其代理人试图损害澳大利亚以谋取自身利益，手段包括秘密干预澳大利亚的政治与社会事务，或威胁侨民社区成员。针对特定社区的这类行为在国际上被称为「跨国镇压」，可包括由外国政府指挥或资助的威胁、恐吓与施压，目的是让异见者噤声。
AFP 表示，已知有外国国家行为体正在针对澳大利亚人从事外国干预，这类活动往往刻意、耐心且貌似日常，被盯上的人多因其专业经验、接触面或人脉。AFP 此次声明附有俄语、中文、波斯语与印地语译本，并提供普通话、粤语等语言的影音材料。
Australia's Federal Police Urge Vigilance on Foreign Interference After Second Conviction
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) on October 19 urged communities across Australia to remain vigilant against foreign interference and to report suspicious or unusual activity. The reminder follows the conviction and imprisonment last month of a second person for foreign interference offences in Australian courts.
Foreign interference, the AFP said, occurs when governments of other countries, or those acting on their behalf, try to harm Australia to advance their own interests — by covertly interfering with Australia's political or social landscape or by threatening members of diaspora communities. When targeted at specific communities, this is known internationally as transnational repression, and can involve threats, intimidation or pressure directed or funded by foreign governments to silence dissidents and undermine Australia's multicultural way of life.
The AFP said foreign state actors are actively undertaking foreign interference targeting Australians, in activities that are often deliberate, patient and designed to appear routine, with individuals targeted for their professional experience, access or networks. The release was issued with translations in Russian, Chinese, Farsi and Hindi, and audio-visual material in Mandarin and Cantonese, among other languages.
