入境事務處與旅遊業監管局採取聯合行動打擊非法勞工拘兩人(附圖)

入境事務處(入境處)聯同旅遊業監管局(旅監局)於十月五日及六日一連兩日展開反非法勞工行動,打擊非法勞工在港提供導遊及攝影服務,拘捕兩名懷疑從事非法工作的內地旅客。 因應有懷疑非法勞工利用社交媒體宣傳,聲稱可來港提供導遊及攝影服務,入境處聯同旅監局以「放蛇」方式喬裝顧客,透過社交平台向目標人物查詢及預訂服務。其後,當兩名目標人物來港提供有關服務時,入境處將其拘捕。被捕人士為一男一女,年齡分別為二十二及四十三歲,並已因違反逗留條件罪而被起訴。被捕的其中一名非法勞工今日(十月七日)在沙田裁判法院承認控罪,被判監禁五十四日。 在執法行動期間,入境處亦聯同旅監局人員前往熱門旅遊景點,向市民及旅客派發宣傳單張,提醒切勿聘用非法導遊或領隊。 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。 發言人續指,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有任何販運人口及/或強迫勞動指標出現,入境處人員會依據一份標準核對清單再作全面調查及識別程序,以確定當中是否有販運人口及/或強迫勞動的元素。被識別的販運人口及/或強迫勞動受害人會獲提供各項支援和協助,包括緊急介入、診症和治療、輔導、收容或臨時住宿及其他支援服務。入境處呼籲販運人口及/或強迫勞動受害人應立即向有關部門舉報有關罪行。 市民可使用舉報非法勞工專線185 185、傳真2824 1166、電郵 anti_crime@immd.gov.hk 、或登入入境處網址 www.immd
