Zoe Buhler was scheduled for an ultrasound appointment on the September morning when Australian police entered her home. The pregnant mother was handcuffed in front of her partner and two children. Ms. Buhler’s offense? She’d posted a message on Facebook detailing an upcoming peaceful protest in Melbourne against strict pandemic lockdowns. Authorities in the state of Victoria charged Ms. Buhler with "stirring up" because, they say, protests are unsafe and undermine public health measures.
"During the time of the pandemic, obviously the state can take certain measures to restrict civil liberties, but it’s very important that those measures are necessary, lawful, and proportionate," says Elaine Pearson, the Australia director at Human Rights Watch, based in Sydney. "It was neither necessary nor proportionate to arrest her in that fashion."
From Australia to Zimbabwe, almost every nation in the world passed restrictions during the pandemic. The wide spectrum of measures varied from country to country—and often within different jurisdictions within nations. Freedom of movement was restricted by various rules for curfews, travel, and public and private assembly. Some countries cracked down on speech and press freedoms. Others bypassed privacy in favor of track-and-trace measures and digital surveillance of those under quarantine.
"That tension is long-standing, liberty versus security. Are they complements or substitutes?" says Marcella Alsan, professor of public policy at Harvard Kennedy School, who studies public health and infectious diseases. "What’s interesting about the current situation, and particularly prior to the development of the vaccines—when all countries basically have these nonpharmaceutical interventions—was basically, How willing were people to go along with these restrictions? What were they willing to sacrifice and what were they not willing to sacrifice?"
Alsan co-authored a November study that surveyed over 400,000 people across 15 nations about their attitudes toward civil liberties during the pandemic. More than 80% were agreeable to giving up some freedoms during a crisis. A closer look at the results, however, reveals gradations between citizens of different nations. Those surveyed in the United States and Japan were far less willing to relax privacy protections, sacrifice the freedom of press, and endure economic losses. Respondents in India, Singapore, and South Korea were more willing to suspend democratic procedures for the sake of public health. Citizens in European countries occupied a middle ground between those two poles.
Marcella Alsan believes that liberty________.
选项
A、hardly complements security
B、can be given up in this crisis
C、has been enforced by rules
D、has relations with security
答案
D
解析
根据题干关键词Marcella Alsan和liberty定位至第四段。第四段中,玛塞拉.阿尔桑首先表明了自己的观点,即自由与安全之间的紧张关系由来已久(That tension is long-standing, liberty versus security),换言之,自由和安全二者之间是有关系的,故D项has relations with security(与安全有联系)为正确答案。第四段中,玛塞拉.阿尔桑对于自由和安全的关系提出了一个疑问:它们是互补的还是替代的?(Are they complements or substitutes?)但并未给出答案,故选项A排除。第五段中,玛塞拉.阿尔桑的研究结果表明,超过80%的人愿意在危机期间放弃部分自由(More than 80%were agreeable to giving up some freedoms),并非所有人都同意在疫情期间放弃自由,故选项B排除。选项C与玛塞拉.阿尔桑的观点无关,故排除。
