反非法勞工行動拘二十人(附圖)

入境事務處(入境處)於十月二日至昨日(十月八日)在全港多區展開反非法勞工行動,包括「銳破行動」、「促進行動」、聯同香港警務處及勞工處執行的「權能者行動」、聯同香港警務處執行的「撒哈拉行動」、「風沙行動」、「冠軍行動」以及聯同香港海關、香港警務處、食物環境衞生署和康樂及文化事務署執行的聯合行動。行動中,調查人員搜查了多個目標地點,包括餐廳、裝修單位及美容院等,共拘捕十七名懷疑非法勞工、兩名涉嫌聘用非法勞工的僱主及一名逾期逗留人士。被捕的懷疑非法勞工共十五男兩女,年齡介乎二十二至五十八歲,當中五男一女持有不允許僱傭工作的擔保書(俗稱「行街紙」)。因涉嫌聘用非法勞工被捕的僱主為兩名男子,年齡分別為四十八及六十四歲。此外,被捕的逾期逗留人士為一名四十九歲男子。有關涉嫌聘用上述非法勞工的僱主的調查仍然在進行中,不排除有更多人被捕。 入境處發言人說:「任何人違反對他有效的逗留條件,即屬犯罪。同時,所有旅客在未獲入境處處長批准前,無論受薪與否,均不得在港從事任何僱傭工作。違例者會遭檢控,一經定罪,最高刑罰為罰款五萬元及監禁兩年。協助及教唆他人違反逗留條件者同罪。」 發言人警告:「根據《入境條例》第38AA條,非法入境者、受遣送離境令或遞解離境令規限的人、逾期逗留或被拒絕入境人士不得接受有薪或無薪的僱傭工作,開辦或參與任何業務。違者一經定罪,最高可被判罰款五萬元及監禁三年。根據《入境條例》第20(1)(a)條規定,如果某入境者在香港被裁定觸犯可以判處不少於兩年監禁刑罰的罪行,則行政長官可以向他發出遞解離境令,禁止該入境者在以後任何時間留在香港。」 發言人強調,僱用不可合法受僱的人是嚴重罪行。根據《入境條例》,僱主若僱用不可合法受僱的人,而該人是非法入境者、受遣送離境令或遞解離境令規限的人、逾期逗留或被拒入境人士,最高刑罰由原來的罰款三十五萬元及監禁三年,大幅提高至罰款五十萬元和監禁十年,以反映有關罪行的嚴重性。而有關公司的董事、經理、秘書、合夥人等,亦可能需負上刑事責任。高等法院曾頒布判刑指引,聘用非法勞工的僱主須被判即時入獄。 根據法院判例,任何人士在決定聘用一名僱員前,必須採取一切切實可行的步驟以確定有關僱員是可合法受僱。除了查閱僱員的身份證外,該人亦負有明確的責任向僱員作出查詢,而僱員提供的任何答案不會令該人對僱用有關僱員的合法性產生合理懷疑,否則法院不會接納以此作為免責辯護。如求職者沒有香港永久性居民身份證,僱主亦必須查閱求職者的有效旅行證件,違例者經定罪後,最高可被判罰款十五萬元及監禁一年。就此,發言人提醒所有僱主切勿以身試法,僱用非法勞工。入境處會繼續嚴正執法,打擊有關罪行。 入境處會根據現行機制的標準程序以審核及識別販運人口及/或強迫勞動受害人,對所有行動中被捕的容易受剝削人士(包括非法勞工、非法入境者、性工作者及外籍家庭傭工)進行初步審核。如初步審核結果顯示
