经济学人:俄罗斯炸毁卫星扰乱国际空间站遭谴责

Russia conducted an anti-satellite missile test that blew up one of its own satellites.The debris it created forced the crew of the International Space Station to take refuge in safety capsules.Worldwide condemnation followed.At least 2,000 migrants remained trapped at the Belarus-Poland border.EU countries have managed, however, to persuade several airlines to stop ferrying people from the Middle East to Belarus, where they have been lured by the Belarusian dictator’s false promise that they will be given refuge in the West.

俄罗斯进行了一次反卫星导弹试验，炸毁了自己的一颗卫星。它造成的碎片迫使国际空间站的机组人员躲进了安全舱。全世界的谴责随之而来。至少2000名移民仍被困在白俄罗斯—波兰边境。然而，欧盟国家已经成功说服了几家航空公司停止将将旅客从中东运送到白俄罗斯，这些人曾受到白俄罗斯独裁者虚假承诺的诱惑，即将他们送往西方避难。

一名美国记者以“人道主义理由”从缅甸监狱获释，几天前，他因非法结社和其他指控被判处11年监禁。丹尼·芬斯特算是其中幸运的一个。自2月军事政变以来，已有数十名缅甸记者被拘留。缅甸被废黜的领导人昂山素季被控腐败和违反保密法等一系列罪名，11月30日被定为闭门审判的判决日期。执政的军政府还对昂山素季提出了新的指控，指控她在去年的大选中有欺诈行为，那次昂山素季所在的政党赢得了大选。

菲律宾总统罗德里戈·杜特尔特的女儿萨拉·杜特尔特宣布竞选副总统，这让她的父亲很失望，他原本希望女儿竞选成为他的继任者。在定于5月举行的选举中，她将与前独裁者之子小费迪南德·马科斯（他正在竞选总统）结盟（副总统与总统选举是分开进行的）。已故的老马科斯于1986年在大规模的“人民力量”抗议中被推翻。赛义夫·伊斯兰·卡扎菲是2011年被推翻并被杀害的利比亚独裁者的儿子，他已登记为下个月总统选举的候选人。他因战争罪被国际刑事法庭通缉。

 

A government panel found that the Nigerian army shot dead at least 11 peaceful protesters in Lagos last year.The victims were taking part in a rally against police brutality.The finding contradicts the government’s claim that no massacre occurred.At least 53 people were killed when jihadists attacked a security post in Burkina Faso.On the other side of Africa four people were killed and many more wounded by two suicide-bombings in Kampala, the capital of Uganda; an affiliate of Islamic State claimed responsibility for that attack.Cuba’s government arrested and threatened dissidents ahead of a planned nationwide “civic march for change” in the communist state, thereby suppressing the protest.Dissidents had hoped to match big demonstrations in July.Hundreds were arrested then.

译文

一个政府小组发现，尼日利亚军队去年在拉各斯枪杀了至少11名和平抗议者。受害者当时正在参加反对警察暴行的集会。这一发现与政府声称没有发生大屠杀的说法相矛盾。圣战分子袭击了布基纳法索的一个安全哨所，造成至少53人死亡。在非洲的另一边，乌干达首都坎帕拉发生了两起自杀式炸弹袭击，造成4人死亡，多人受伤；伊斯兰国的一个分支声称对那次袭击负责。古巴政府逮捕并威胁持不同政见者，从而压制了抗议活动，即此前计划的在这个共产主义国家举行全国性的“变革公民游行”。持不同政见者曾希望该抗议活动能比得上7月份那次大规模示威活动。当时有数百人被捕。
