澳门首宗国安案宣判：前议员欧锦新被判12年6个月
中国澳门特别行政区初级法院11月6日就澳门首宗国家安全案件宣判：69岁的前立法会议员欧锦新被判处有期徒刑12年6个月。美联社与路透社均报道，这是澳门《维护国家安全法》2009年生效以来首宗公开已知的检控案件。
法院认定，欧锦新犯有颠覆国家政权、与境外组织、团体或个人建立联系从事危害国家安全行为，以及违反保密义务等罪名；另有两项颠覆指控因证据不足不成立。法院在声明中表示，欧锦新长期协助、配合境外「敌对组织」，收集、编撰并散播带有颠覆国家政权性质的政治言论与虚假信息；其违反保密义务一罪，涉及他在2021年担任立法会议员期间，把一次闭门委员会会议的内容泄露给一个境外组织，该会议与博彩牌照续期有关。据路透社援引澳门广播电视报道，欧锦新各罪的合并量刑幅度为11年3个月至19年6个月，法院经审议后判处单一合并刑期12年6个月。
法院在声明中说：「虽然被告是初犯，并承认了相当部分的犯罪事实，但他表现出高度的主观故意。其违法行为的程度与潜在后果都非常严重。」
欧锦新是退休小学教师，在澳门立法会担任议员近20年。他于2025年7月30日被捕；澳门《维护国家安全法》2009年生效、2023年经扩充修订，本案审理今年9月以闭门方式进行，法官表示闭门是为确保国家安全利益不受损害。澳门当局从未公开披露案件细节。
欧锦新的妻子郑明轩（Virginia Cheang）在公开信中称这宗案件是「旨在羞辱欧锦新的无理迫害」，并表示只希望当局容许家人与他通信、并能定期探望。欧锦新身在伦敦的女儿欧鸿仪对美联社说，她的父亲是一个热爱澳门、心系家庭的平和之人。
各方反应方面，国务院港澳事务办公室发表文章称，国家安全是不可逾越的红线，并批评欧锦新长期打着所谓「民主」「自由」旗号勾结外部势力。中国外交部表示，坚决反对任何外部势力以个案为借口干涉澳门事务。欧锦新的国际法律顾问迈克尔·波拉克（Michael Polak）呼吁葡萄牙与欧盟要求澳门容许持有葡萄牙公民身份的欧锦新离开澳门，并表示以他的年纪，这样的刑期可能意味着他会死在狱中。欧盟曾于2025年谴责欧锦新的被捕，称这加深了外界对澳门政治多元与言论自由受侵蚀的担忧；欧盟对外行动署11月6日就本案判决发表了发言人声明。

Macao's First National Security Case: Former Lawmaker Au Kam San Sentenced to 12 Years and 6 Months
The Court of First Instance of Macao, China, on November 6 sentenced former lawmaker Au Kam San, 69, to 12 years and six months in prison in the territory's first national security case. Both the Associated Press and Reuters reported that it was the first publicly known prosecution under Macao's national security law since the law took effect in 2009.
The court found Au guilty of subverting state power, establishing links with organizations, groups or individuals outside Macao to commit acts endangering national security, and violating confidentiality obligations; he was acquitted on two additional subversion counts for insufficient evidence. In its statement, the court said Au had for a long period assisted and cooperated with what it called hostile organizations outside Macao, collecting, preparing and disseminating political views laden with ideas of subverting state power and false information. The confidentiality count concerned his leaking, while a Legislative Assembly member in 2021, of the contents of a closed-door committee meeting to an overseas organization; the meeting concerned the renewal of gaming licenses. According to Reuters, citing Macao broadcaster TDM, the applicable range for Au's cumulative sentence was between 11 years and 3 months and 19 years and 6 months, and the court imposed a single consolidated sentence of 12 years and 6 months.
"Although the defendant is a first-time offender and admitted to a considerable portion of the criminal facts, he demonstrated a high degree of intent. The degree of unlawfulness and the potential consequences of his crimes are both very serious," the court statement said.
Au is a retired schoolteacher who served as a Macao lawmaker for nearly two decades. He was arrested on July 30, 2025. Macao's national security law was broadened in 2023, and his trial was held behind closed doors in September, with the judge saying the step was needed to ensure no prejudice to national security interests. Macao's authorities never publicly disclosed the details of the case.
In a public letter, Au's wife, Virginia Cheang, called the case a groundless persecution designed to humiliate Au, and wrote that she only hoped authorities would allow his family to exchange letters with him and visit him regularly. Au's daughter in London, Au Hon I, told the Associated Press that her father is a peaceful family man who cares deeply about Macao.
Beijing's Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office said in an article that national security is a red line that must not be crossed, and criticized Au for long colluding with external forces under the banners of so-called democracy and freedom. China's Foreign Ministry said it firmly opposes any external forces using individual cases as a pretext to interfere in Macao's affairs. Michael Polak, Au's international counsel, called on Portugal and the European Union to demand that Au, a Portuguese citizen, be allowed to leave Macao, saying that a sentence like that for someone of his age could mean he dies in prison. The EU condemned Au's arrest in 2025, saying it added to concerns about the erosion of political pluralism and freedom of speech in Macao; the European External Action Service issued a spokesperson statement on the verdict on November 6.
