作者:Catherine Morrison, Amy Stewart抗议者整夜留守在加瓦吉路,德拉姆克里游行争端持续发酵。
By Catherine Morrison, Amy Stewart Protesters remained on the Garvaghy Road overnight as the Drumcree parade dispute continues.
北爱尔兰争端各主要方在经历了一天的政治会谈和在斯托蒙特的激烈交锋后,依然陷入僵局。
The main parties involved in the dispute in Northern Ireland are still in a stalemate, following a day of political talks and heated exchanges at Stormont.
周一举行了旨在解决问题的会谈,当时橙衣会成员正等待开始获准举行的游行——原定于周日早上进行,路线将穿过波特唐以民族主义者为主的加瓦吉路。
Talks to resolve the issue took place on Monday as members of the Orange Order waited to begin their permitted parade, which was due to take place on Sunday morning, and walk down the mainly-nationalist Garvaghy Road in Portadown.
橙衣会成员也在德拉姆克里教堂过夜维持存在,但人数比前几晚有所减少。
Orangemen also maintained a presence at Drumcree church overnight, but were smaller in number than previous nights.
他们在教堂附近的警方防线前与警官交谈,试图获准走下加瓦吉路。不过,似乎并没有人真正指望这能实现。
They spoke to officers at the police line near the church in an attempt to walk down the Garvaghy Road. However, there did not appear to be any serious expectation that would happen.
克里斯托弗·内尔森在1999年其母亲、律师罗斯玛丽·内尔森被保皇派杀害时年仅11岁,他表示目前的局势勾起了那段往事的回忆。罗斯玛丽·内尔森曾代表加瓦吉路居民协会。
Christopher Nelson, who was 11 when his mother, the solicitor Rosemary Nelson, was murdered by loyalists in 1999, said the current situation had brought back memories of that time. Rosemary Nelson represented Garvaghy Road Residents Association.
内尔森说,他“害怕暑假临近”,因为他知道母亲“会花大量时间在加瓦吉路”。
Nelson said he "dreaded the summer holidays approaching" because he knew his mother "would be spending a lot of time on the Garvaghy Road".
“随之而来的是担心她在外面会发生什么事。妈妈今晚能回家吗?如果能回,她会没事吗?”他告诉BBC广播阿尔斯特台的《早安阿尔斯特》节目,母亲经常和孩子们谈论她的工作,告诉他们她在“帮助像我们这样的家庭”。“即使你脑海深处存有不安,她也竭力让你感到安全。”内尔森从未公开谈论过母亲的死。
"With that came the worry about what was going to happen her when she was out there. Is mum coming home tonight and if she is, is she going to be okay?" He said his mother spoke to her children about her job a lot and told them she was "helping families like our own". "She tried her best to make you feel safe even though there was uncertainty in the back of your head," he told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster programme. Nelson has never spoken publicly about his mother's death.
他觉得现在是时候了,因为“如果她在世,她会希望我站在这里,她会站在那条路上”。
He feels now is the time to do so because "if she were here she would want me to be here and she would be standing on that road".
如今已是两个孩子的父亲,并与新芬党议员凯瑟琳·纳尔逊结婚的他表示,不希望任何孩子“担忧或不安”,并说这感觉就像“一切重演”。他对代表们的呼吁是“为双方的孩子着想”。
Now a father-of-two himself, and married to Sinn Féin councillor Catherine Nelson, he said he did not want any child "worrying or concerned" and said it was like it was "happening all over again". He said his message to representatives was to "think about the children on both sides".
“这是一个经历过这一切、亲身感受过、生活受其影响的孩子发出的呼声。请采取一切必要措施来保护他们,”他说。
"This comes from a child who went through it, who experienced it, whose life it impacted. Do whatever needs to be done to protect them," he said.
他补充说,他对当前局势“非常担忧”,因为“我知道事态会升级到多么糟糕的地步,以及在许多情况下会造成什么后果”。
He added that he was "very worried" about the current situation as "I know how badly it escalated and what the repercussions were in many cases".
德拉姆克里游行在1990年代引发了北爱尔兰历史上一些最严重的骚乱,在经历一系列法律挑战后,原定于30年来首次举行。
The Drumcree parade, which in the 1990s sparked some of the most serious disorder in Northern Ireland's history, was due to go ahead for the first time in 30 years after a series of legal challenges.
自1998年以来,奥兰治教团被禁止完成其德拉姆克里游行——直到今年,游行委员会(负责裁决争议的机构)一直反复拒绝其完成路线的许可。
Since 1998, the Orange Order had been banned from completing its Drumcree march - and until this year had been repeatedly refused permission to finish the route by the Parades Commission, which was set up to adjudicate disputes.
奥兰治教团是一个亲英的新教组织,而其想要行进的地区——特别是加瓦吉路——主要是天主教徒聚居,且以亲爱尔兰民族主义者为主。
The Orange Order is a Protestant pro-British organisation, while the area where it wants to walk - specifically along the Garvaghy Road - is largely Catholic and predominantly inhabited by pro-Irish nationalists.
抗议者在周末封锁了道路,在与北爱尔兰事务大臣会面后,该路居民的代表表示,奥兰治教团应专注于另一条路线。
Protesters blocked the road over the weekend, and after a meeting with the Northern Ireland secretary, a representative of the road's residents said the Orange Order should focus on a different route.
周日,加瓦吉路上的抗议者得到了新芬党成员的加入,其中包括首席部长米歇尔·奥尼尔,以及社会民主工党成员。民主统一党随后指责奥尼尔行为非法。
On Sunday, protesters on the Garvaghy Road were joined by members of Sinn Féin, including First Minister Michelle O'Neill, and the Social Democratic Labour Party. The Democratic Unionist Party subsequently accused O'Neill of acting unlawfully.
北爱尔兰事务大臣克里斯·布赖特爵士表示“任何人都不应参加非法抗议”,但他补充说,这不是他的工作“去决定某人是否触犯了法律”。
Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant said "nobody should be attending an unlawful protest", but he added it was not his job "to decide whether somebody has or hasn't broken the law".
周一在北爱尔兰议会发言时,奥尼尔表示,她为能与居民一起抗议而感到自豪。
Speaking in the Northern Ireland Assembly on Monday, O'Neill said she was proud to protest with the residents.
人们继续聚集在加瓦吉路,周一晚间一度聚集了多达400人——一群奥兰治会成员曾多次试图开始游行。
People continued to gather at the Garvaghy Road, with a crowd of up to 400 people at one point on Monday night - and a group of Orangemen tried to begin their parade a number of times.
警方缩减了部署,现场仅有两辆警车和一辆路虎车。道路未被封锁。
Police scaled back their operation with only two police cars and one Land Rover in place. The road was not blocked.
波塔当奥兰治会的两位最高级别成员在希尔斯堡城堡会见了克里斯爵士。他们将这长达一小时的会谈描述为"建设性"。加瓦吉路居民联盟的布雷丹·麦克基奥纳也会见了国务大臣。
The two most senior members of Portadown Orange Order met Sir Chris at Hillsborough Castle. They described the hour-long talks as "constructive". Breandán Mac Cionnaith, from the Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition, also met the secretary of state.
他说,奥兰治会应将前往德拉姆克里教堂的去程路线作为返程路线,而不是走加瓦吉路。
He said the Orange Order should use their outward route to Drumcree Church as their return route, rather than the Garvaghy Road.
奥兰治会是北爱尔兰新教徒相关的最著名的效忠组织,每年举行数千场游行,绝大多数都平安无事。
The Orange Order, the most prominent of the loyal orders associated with Protestants in Northern Ireland, holds thousands of parades every year and the vast majority pass off without incident.
然而,许多天主教徒视这些游行为宗派主义行为,反对其经过或靠近天主教或民族主义社区。
However, many Catholics see the marches as sectarian and object to them passing through, or close to, Catholic or nationalist areas.
加瓦吉路曾是德拉姆克里游行路线的一部分,但到20世纪90年代中期,民族主义居民开始抗议该游行。这场争端引发了北爱尔兰历史上一些最严重的公共骚乱,并与数起谋杀案有关。
The Garvaghy Road had been part of the Drumcree route, but by the mid 1990s nationalist residents protested against the parade. The row sparked some of the most serious public disorder in Northern Ireland's history and was linked to several murders.
在一起法庭案件中,游行委员会的裁决被推翻后,这场争端重新浮现——该组织是在德拉姆克里争端期间成立的,负责裁决北爱尔兰游行季节中的争议性游行。
The row reemerged after a court case in which a ruling by the Parades Commission - the organisation formed during the Drumcree dispute to decide on contentious marches during Northern Ireland's parading season - was overturned.
周五,在28次申请均告失败后,委员会决定允许游行在限制条件下进行。
On Friday, following 28 years of unsuccessful applications, the commission decided the march could go ahead with restrictions in place.
委员会规定,游行不得晚于上午8点开始,而非原定的周日下午1点,参与人数限制为35人,而非奥兰治会申请的60人。
Rather than start at 13:00 on Sunday as intended, the commission said it could begin no later than 08:00 and with 35 participants rather than the 60 the Orange Order requested.
然而,该决定周六在贝尔法斯特多家法院遭到挑战,直到游行预定开始前几小时才最终获准进行。
However that decision was challenged in several Belfast courts on Saturday, before finally being given the go ahead just hours before it was due to take place.
德拉姆克里(Drumcree)争端是20世纪90年代北爱尔兰最严重的游行冲突之一。当时,奥兰治秩序(Orange Order)试图在加瓦吉路(Garvaghy Road)上举行游行,但这一行为引发了多次暴力事件,包括骚乱、设置路障以及人员伤亡。
The Drumcree dispute was one of Northern Ireland's most serious parading disputes during the 1990s, when stand-offs over attempts by the Orange Order to march along the Garvaghy Road were accompanied by riots, roadblocks and killings.
1995年7月,警方阻止了奥兰治秩序在该路段举行游行,导致双方陷入紧张对峙;这种情况持续了接下来的三年。
When the Orange Order was prevented by police from walking down the route in July 1995, there was a tense stand-off.
与这场争端相关的暴力行为在整个北爱尔兰地区引发了大规模的骚乱、路障设置以及多起谋杀案。
It was the same for the next three years. Violence related to the dispute resulted in riots, roadblocks and murders across Northern Ireland.
1998年,新成立的游行管理委员会裁定奥兰治秩序不得在加瓦吉路上举行游行——这一决定一直有效,直至本周五为止。
In 1998, the newly-established Parades Commission ruled that the Orange Order should not march down the road - a decision upheld until Friday.
