【錯誤】AIT處長將舉辦會議說明台海戰爭的撤僑行動？無關戰爭或撤僑的例行性活動

MyGoPen

網傳「美國AIT處長將在6月14下午3點在內湖館址舉辦公民會議，包括向其公民說明台海戰爭爆發時撤僑行動」的訊息，描述美國在台協會 AIT 會說明戰爭時撤僑如何運作以及預防性演習之準備工作。經查證，事實上這是 AIT 的例行性會議，邀請在台美國公民討論與台美有關的一般性事務以及 AIT 所能提供給公民的服務，此為美國所有外館的職責，為美國公民服務的一部分。類似內容也在近幾年被不明訊息拿來做文章，網傳內容為曲解的錯誤訊息。


AIT處長將舉辦會議說明台海戰爭的撤僑行動？

原始謠傳版本：

🌸為戰爭而準備？
美國AIT處長將在6月14下午3點在內湖館址舉辦公民會議，包括向其公民說明台海戰爭爆發時撤僑行動，並回答聽眾問題。
要參加者（限美國公民）請上網登記。
AIT不敢在email中明說這是有關台海戰爭（這會造成民眾恐慌），但在會議中，戰爭及撤僑之事一定會被提出討論，AIT也會作詳細說明戰爭時撤僑如何運作。這是一個負責任的政府所做預防性演習之準備工作！

網傳 AIT 信件的實際內容為何？

對此，MyGoPen 實際向在台美國公民 Landy Lin 及其家人求證，目前收到流傳的英文訊息，主要來自於 AIT 的電子郵件內容。

事實上信件內容並無提及撤僑或戰爭的說法，並描述此座談會為告知美國公民提供的服務，主要是與僑民溝通的例行性活動，另外原始電子郵件顯示的寄件者也是來自於 [email protected] 這樣的美國政府公民服務信箱。


美國在台協會 AIT 的說明

對此 AIT 發言人表示，AIT 會定期舉行會議，邀請在台美國公民討論與台美有關的一般性事務，以及 AIT 所能提供給公民的服務。他也指出，該會議的目的也是給予機會，讓公民可以向 AIT 的管理階層，和領事館代表提出疑問。AIT 表示，6 月 14 日的會議是他們在台定期，持續舉辦的活動。


結論

這是 AIT 邀請在台美國公民的例行性會議，主要為討論台美有關的事物以及給公民的服務，原始信件也無關戰爭或撤僑，網傳內容描述說法為錯誤訊息。
