加拿大皇家骑警队是参与调查全国多所伊斯兰学校收到威胁事件的六支以上警察队伍之一。加拿大国家警察机构已向加拿大广播公司新闻部证实此事。
The RCMP are among more than a half-dozen police forces probing a threat sent to Islamic schools across the country, the national police force confirmed to CBC News.
皇家骑警队周一在一份声明中表示：“执法机构正与学校领导协作，调查有关威胁的报告，并评估所有可获得的信息。”
"Law enforcement agencies are working collaboratively with school leadership to investigate the reported threats and assess all available information," the RCMP said in a statement on Monday afternoon.
皇家骑警队表示：“我们仍致力于保障公众安全，并鼓励任何掌握相关信息或有所担忧的人向警方报告。”该队西北地区分部正在调查这封邮件。这个分部管辖草原三省以及西北地区和努纳武特地区。
"We remain committed to public safety and encourage anyone with information or concerns to report them to police." The RCMP said their northwest region is looking into the note, a division that covers the Prairie provinces as well as the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
截至周五，这封邮件已发送给加拿大穆斯林协会旗下学校网络中的多所学校，其中大多位于安大略省，蒙特利尔和温哥华也有学校收到。
As of Friday, the note was sent to multiple schools in the Muslim Association of Canada's network, mostly in Ontario but also in Montreal and Vancouver.
加拿大皇家骑警队暂时无法解释西北地区为何参与调查。不过，加拿大广播公司新闻部看到邮件中的一段内容提及阿尔伯塔省即将举行的公投，其中一个问题涉及日后是否举行独立公投。邮件称，一旦“阿尔伯塔成为一个独立国家”，穆斯林将被“驱逐或遭到屠杀”。渥太华、滑铁卢地区、皮尔区、安大略省伦敦市和蒙特利尔的警方均告知加拿大广播公司新闻部，他们上周参与了调查。这些地区的学校都收到了这封威胁邮件，其中使用了针对穆斯林的非人化语言。
The RCMP did not have an immediate explanation as to why the northwest region is involved in the investigation, though a section of the note, seen by CBC News, alludes to the upcoming Alberta referendum that includes a question about an eventual secession vote, stating Muslims will be "deported or slaughtered" once "Alberta becomes its own nation." Police in Ottawa, Waterloo Region, Peel Region, London, Ont., and Montreal all told CBC News they were involved in investigations last week. Schools in their jurisdictions received the threatening note, which uses dehumanizing language against Muslims.
温哥华警方周一也在一份声明中表示，他们正在调查此事，并已在全市增加巡逻警力。
On Monday, Vancouver police also said in a statement they are investigating and have increased patrols across the city.
皇家骑警队在新闻稿中表示：“调查人员没有掌握任何表明威胁迫在眉睫的信息；不过，仍鼓励公众保持警惕。”政治人物谴责：加拿大广播公司新闻部于周五刊发首篇报道后，一些联邦和市政民选官员谴责了这封邮件，其中包括联邦公共安全部长加里·阿南达桑加里。
In their release, the RCMP mentioned "investigators have no information to suggest an imminent threat; however, members of the public are encouraged to remain vigilant." Politicians condemn Some federal and municipal elected officials condemned the email after CBC News published the initial story on Friday, including federal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree.
在一份声明中，阿南达桑加里的办公室表示，政府“对针对伊斯兰学校的威胁，以及这些威胁给加拿大各地的学生、家庭、教育工作者和穆斯林社区造成的恐惧深感不安”，并补充说：“加拿大人民必须团结起来，反对伊斯兰恐惧症和一切形式的仇恨。”自由党议员伊克拉·哈立德表示，她对这些威胁感到骇然。
In a statement, Anandasangaree's office said the government is "deeply disturbed by the threats directed at Islamic schools and the fear they have caused students, families, educators and Muslim communities across Canada," adding "Canadians must stand together against Islamophobia and all forms of hate." Liberal MP Iqra Khalid said she is appalled by the threats.
“我的两个侄女就在收到恐吓信息的一所学校读书，”她在一份声明中说。
"Two of my own nieces attend one of the schools that received threatening messages," she said in a statement.
密西沙加—埃里米尔斯选区议员表示，必须认真对待这些威胁，“必须追究相关人员的责任。”密西沙加市市长卡罗琳·帕里什称这些威胁“极其令人不安”，并表示，威胁儿童“尤其卑劣”。渥太华市市长马克·萨特克利夫也表示，他对这些信息“深感不安”。
The MP for Mississauga-Erin Mills said the threats must be taken seriously and "those responsible must be held accountable." Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish called the threats "incredibly disturbing," and said threatening children is "especially despicable." Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe also said he is "deeply troubled" by the messages.
