特赦波蘭斯基 波法向美陳情

【聯合報╱編譯莊蕙嘉／報導】 2009.09.29 04:16 am


名導演羅曼波蘭斯基（Roman Polanski）26日因30多年前性侵未成年少女案在瑞士被捕，歐洲政府首長和藝文圈人士震驚且憤怒，波蘭和法國要求瑞士立刻讓他交保，並敦促美國特赦他，案件升高為國際爭端。

波、法兩國外長席科斯基與庫希內，已聯名致函美國國務卿希拉蕊‧柯林頓，請她要求總統歐巴馬特赦波蘭斯基。波蘭斯基原籍波蘭，目前已取得法國籍並定居法國。

波蘭斯基也透過律師要求瑞士讓他交保，並表明拒絕被引渡到美國。美國可在兩個月內提出引渡他的要求，雙方可能在瑞士法院進行數個月訴訟。

正和波蘭斯基合作拍片的英國作家哈里斯對波蘭斯基被捕感到驚訝，他表示「波蘭斯基在瑞士有一棟房子，我過去一兩年間曾到那裡跟他一起工作兩三次」。律師也證實今年稍早波蘭斯基在瑞士渡假聖地古斯塔德住了幾個月，沒想到這次會在瑞士被捕。

瑞士司法部發言人包默說，瑞士對來自法國的旅客很少查驗護照，因此過去並不知道波蘭斯基曾入境，這次他的行程被警方得知，因此將他逮捕。

最近美國正在調查透過瑞士銀行帳戶逃稅的美國富豪，兩國鬧得很不愉快，外界傳聞瑞士此際逮捕波蘭斯基是為了和美國重建關係。但包默斷然否認此說。

波蘭斯基的演員妻子艾曼紐辛納和好萊塢演員哈里遜福特呼籲藝人連署，要求立即釋放波蘭斯基，據稱義大利演員莫妮卡‧貝魯琪和香港導演王家衛也簽了請願書。

Top directors rally around Polanski

(AFP) – 4 hours ago


PARIS — Top film directors across the world rallied around Roman Polanksi on Monday, declaring themselves "astonished" at the arrest of the film-maker over a 1977 underage se-x case.

Michael Mann, Wim Wenders and Pedro Almodovar were among more than 70 film industry figures who signed a petition in protest at the detention of the Polish-French director on Saturday in Zurich.

"We demand the immediate release of Roman Polanski," urged the petition, which was coordinated from France by the SACD, an organisation which represents performance and visual artists.

"Film-makers in France, in Europe, in the United States and around the world are dismayed by this decision," the petition said, adding the arrest came as "astonishing news" to the SACD.

"It seems inadmissible to them that an international cultural event, paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary film-makers, is used by police to apprehend him."

Names were piling up on the petition late Monday, and included directors Julian Schnabel, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Walter Salles and actress Tilda Swinton.

Polanski, who directed "Rosemary's Baby", "Chinatown" and "The Pianist", was detained as he arrived to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich film festival.

The five members of the film festival jury said Monday that the event "had been exploited in an unfair fashion".

Posters were stuck on the cinema where Polanski had been due to receive his award, declaring "Free Polanski" and "No extradition".

The director pleaded guilty three decades ago to having se-x with a 13-year-old girl. His lawyer said Monday he had refused to be extradited from Switzerland to the United States.

The 76-year-old fled the US in 1978 before sentencing on a charge in the underage se-x case. He has never returned, even missing the Oscar award for "The Pianist" in 2003.

France's Society of Film Directors also voiced concern the arrest "could have disastrous consequences for freedom of expression across the world".

Polish film-makers called on their government to act and prevent a "judicial lynching".

Some 100 Swiss artists and intellectuals signed a petition demanding the release of Polanski, while papers in the country lamented that a "trap" had been laid there for the director.

The film industry's outrage was echoed by the international community with France and Poland criticising the arrest.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said he was working with his Polish counterpart Radek Sikorski to help Polanski and that they had jointly written to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to ask for the charges to be dropped.

"This affair is frankly a bit sinister. Here is a man of such talent, recognized worldwide, recognised especially in the country where he was arrested. This is not nice at all," Kouchner told France-Inter radio.

French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand has called the arrest of the film-maker, who lives in Paris, "absolutely horrifying".

Artists demand Polanski's immediate release

Sep 28, 2009, 8:12 GMT

Paris - Actors and film directors from around the world have put their names to a petition denouncing the arrest of director Roman Polanski in Switzerland and demanding that he be freed, French media reported Monday.

The artists who joined the demand for Polanski's 'immediate release' from a Zurich jail include actresses Fanny Ardant and Monica Bellucci, directors Ettore Scola, Wong Kar-wai and Costa-Gavras and the president of the Cannes film festival, Gilles Jacob.

A number of film associations, including the Cannes festival, also threw their official support behind the demand.

In addition, newly elected UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova told French TV5 that the arrest of the 76-year-old Polanski under a 31-year-old US arrest warrant on charges of se-x abuse was 'shocking.'

French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterand called the arrest 'absolutely appalling.'

'We know the conditions under which (the arrest) took place. And as there is an America that is generous and which we love, there is also this America that frightens us, and it is this America that has now shown us its face,' Mitterand told Europe 1 radio.

Polanski's French attorney, Herve Temime, told the daily Le Figaro that he would demand Polanski's release.

'It appears that there is a problem of a statute of limitations in a case in which... the supposed victim of the crime withdrew her complaint long ago,' he said.

The woman Polanski is accused of se-xually abusing in 1977, when she was 13, long ago publicly forgave Polanski.
