日前，多份報章指「銅鑼灣書店」再有一名股東失蹤。「銅鑼灣書店」以出版及售賣大陸禁書而聞名，該書店於3個月內共有5名股東或主管相繼失蹤。與之前失蹤事件不同的是，今次事件中的李波先生是於香港境內失去聯絡，而非外地。

報導更指李先生是於柴灣貨倉工作後，被幾名不明來歷的人士帶走。書店職員指於李先生失蹤當晚，兩度接到李先生致電「報平安」，來電號碼均為大陸電話號碼。因此，有理由相信，李先生已離開香港，並身處大陸。其後，北角警署確認接獲一名姓蔡女子報案，指未能與其李姓丈夫聯絡，案件列作「失蹤人士」，由港島總區失蹤人口調查組跟進。其後，警員上門調查時，發現李先生的回鄉證仍在香港家中，出入境紀錄中更沒有李先生離開香港的記錄。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。" w& a7 ? d+ r0 M; w2 \

首先，基本法第二十七條清楚保障香港居民享有出版自由。「銅鑼灣書店」如因其出版的書籍而被捕，無疑是侵犯了他們基本法下應有的權利。

7 O0 E: E& h8 X公仔箱論壇香港特區政府擁有香港境內的執法權。中國法律（除於附件三內的全國法外）並不適用於香港，中國公安更不能在香港境內執行中國的法律。由於事件關乎到中國有沒有嚴格遵從基本法的承諾，香港特區政府必須嚴正調查事件，不容基本法及香港法治再受衝擊。

因此，法政匯思促請香港特區政府、警方及入境署全力追查事件，維護香港一國兩制及高度自治及保障李波先生及其他四名人士桂民海先生、呂波先生、林榮基先生及張志平先生的人身安全及人權。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。& C1 m& \: a7 k8 j

Causeway Bay Books is known for publishing and selling books banned in Mainland China. Within the past three months, five of its co-owners or managers have successively gone missing. What differs from previous incidents in which persons have gone missing is that in this case, contact with Mr. Lee Bo was lost within, and not outside Hong Kong.公仔箱論壇" h j8 Q# ~% X; j
8 l0 s# r3 Z* r) d3 c1 x+ _- I. N5.39.217.76The reports further indicated that Mr. Lee was taken away by individuals of unknown identities after working in a godown facility in Chai Wan. Employees of the bookstore indicated that on the evening of Mr. Lee's disappearance, they received two calls from Mr. Lee indicating that he was "safe", and in both cases the caller identification was a Mainland China number. Therefore, there is reason to believe that Mr. Lee was no longer in Hong Kong, and was in Mainland China. 1 T) X3 }8 A) A( K- _/ c$ n7 j; R. ]

The report was characterised as a "missing report" case, and was assigned to the Hong Kong Island Regional Missing Persons Unit for investigation. Thereafter, when police officers went to Mr. Lee's residence to investigate, they discovered that Mr. Lee's Home Return Permit was still at his residence in Hong Kong, and moreover there was no immigration record of Mr. Lee leaving Hong Kong.

The HKSAR Government has the power to enforce Hong Kong laws within Hong Kong. PRC laws (save for national laws contained in Annex III of the Basic Law) shall not be applied in Hong Kong and China’s enforcement agencies shall not enforce PRC laws within the territory of Hong Kong. The Lee Bo incident sparked concerns that China did not strictly comply with the Basic Law. The HKSAR Government must investigate into this matter so as to prevent any further erosion to the rule of law in Hong Kong.1 B/ m ^ a, @1 t. r; g6 b( A

“1. Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention. No one shall be deprived of his liberty except on such grounds and in accordance with such procedure as are established by law.

3.
