华盛顿,3月30日(路透社)——美国一名法官将于周一就五角大楼是否藐视保护记者采访权的法院命令举行听证会,这是一场备受关注的新闻自由与行政权力冲突事件。

美国地区法官保罗·弗里德曼已安排于美国东部时间上午9:30(格林尼治标准时间13:30)在华盛顿举行听证会,审议《纽约时报》提出的要求五角大楼遵守此前法院裁决的申请。

美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟领导下的五角大楼去年10月表示,如果记者怂恿未经授权的军方人员披露机密——在某些情况下还包括非机密——信息,他们可能被视为安全风险,其记者证将被吊销。

在五角大楼记者协会的56家新闻机构中,仅有一家同意签署该政策的确认书,未签署的记者已将记者证交还给五角大楼。

3月20日,弗里德曼裁定,国防部有关五角大楼新闻记者证的规定违反了美国宪法中对新闻采集权和正当程序的保护。

这位法官发布了禁令,要求立即恢复采访五角大楼的记者的媒体证件。

作为挑战赫格斯瑟政策的主要原告方,《纽约时报》上周向弗里德曼表示,五角大楼并未遵守其命令,反而发布了其所谓的新“临时”政策,公然违抗法院裁决。

《纽约时报》称,该政策禁止持有记者证的记者在无陪同的情况下进入大楼,规定了记者何时可以为消息源保密,并保留了被法院裁决否决的其他规定。

在周五提交的一份文件(打开新标签页)中,五角大楼否认违反了弗里德曼此前的命令。该部门表示:“国防部已谨慎处理了法院在先前政策中指出的所有法律缺陷。”

五角大楼记者协会表示,五角大楼的新规定“公然违反了弗里德曼裁决的文字和精神”。路透社是该协会的成员,该协会包括《纽约时报》、美国广播公司新闻、福克斯新闻等多家媒体机构。

WASHINGTON, March 30 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge will hear arguments on Monday on whether the Pentagon has defied a court order protecting journalists’ access, in a ​closely watched clash over press freedom and executive power.

U.S. District Judge ‌Paul Friedman scheduled a hearing for 9:30 a.m. EST (1330 GMT) in Washington to weigh a request by the New York Times to compel the Pentagon’s compliance with the prior court ruling.

The ​Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in October said journalists could be ​deemed security risks and have their press badges revoked if they ⁠solicited unauthorized military personnel to disclose classified, and in some cases unclassified, information.

Of ​the 56 news outlets in the Pentagon Press Association, only one agreed to sign ​an acknowledgment of the policy, with reporters who did not sign surrendering their press passes to the Pentagon.

On March 20 Friedman ruled that provisions of the Defense Department’s policy pertaining to Pentagon press ​credentials violated protections for news gathering and due process in the U.S. Constitution.

The ​judge issued an injunction requiring the immediate reinstatement of media credentials for reporters covering the Pentagon.

The New ‌York ⁠Times, the lead plaintiff that sued to challenge Hegseth’s policy, told Friedman last week that the Pentagon had not complied with his order but instead released what it called a new “interim” policy defying the court ruling.

The policy, the Times said, bars reporters with press ​passes from entering ​the building without ⁠an escort, sets up rules governing when a reporter can offer anonymity to a source and leaves in place other rules ​that the court order rejected.

In a filing, opens new tab on Friday, the Pentagon denied ​violating Friedman’s ⁠prior order. “The Department was careful to address all of the legal defects that the court perceived in the prior policy,” it said.

The Pentagon Press Association said the Pentagon’s ⁠new rules ​are “a clear violation of the letter and spirit” ​of Friedman’s ruling. Reuters is a member of the association, which includes the Times, ABC News, Fox ​News and other outlets.
