墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆周二宣布，其政府正在寻求引渡托马斯·塞隆·德·卢西奥。这位前高级安全官员与43名学生的失踪案有关，目前流亡在以色列。
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Tuesday that her administration is seeking the extradition of Tomas Zeron de Lucio, a former top security official linked to the disappearance of 43 students who is living in self-exile in Israel.
根据阿约齐纳帕案件真相与正义获取总统委员会的调查，2014年，格雷罗州伊瓜拉市阿约齐纳帕农村师范学院的43名学生被当地警察和犯罪集团强迫失踪，据称得到了墨西哥政府高层人物（包括军官、情报和安全官员）的支持与庇护。
In 2014, 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College in Iguala, Guerrero were disappeared by local police and criminal groups, allegedly with the backing and protection of high-ranking Mexican government figures, including military officers and intelligence and security officials, according to the Presidential Commission for Truth and Access to Justice in the Ayotzinapa Case.
从学生失踪到2020年期间，政府一直坚称袭击完全是由犯罪集团实施的。这一说法是由前总统恩里克·培尼亚·涅托政府编造的，后来遭到了安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔政府的质疑，后者曾承诺若赢得2018年大选将解决此案。
From the disappearance of the students until 2020, the government maintained that the attack had been carried out exclusively by criminal groups, a fabricated account promoted by the administration of former President Enrique Pena Nieto and challenged by the government of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who had promised to solve the case if he won the 2018 elections.
时任刑事调查局（AIC）局长的塞隆·德·卢西奥，在保护涉案政府官员以及警察和军事人员方面发挥了关键作用。
Zeron de Lucia, then director of the now-defunct Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC), was key to efforts to protect government officials as well as police and military personnel involved in the crime.
2020年，在培尼亚·涅托政府时期编造的官方版本被推翻后，墨西哥总检察长办公室对他发出了逮捕令，指控其犯有强迫失踪罪和酷刑罪。
In 2020, Mexico's Attorney General's Office issued an arrest warrant against him for the crimes of enforced disappearance and torture after the official version fabricated during the Pena Nieto administration was refuted.
这位名誉扫地的前刑事调查局局长于2019年移居以色列，并一直居住在那里。
The disgraced former criminal intelligence chief relocated to Israel in 2019, where he has lived ever since.
在9月26日学生集体失踪事件12周年纪念日后的晨间新闻发布会上，辛鲍姆总统宣布，她的政府已对墨西哥总检察长办公室内部进行了调整，以确保塞隆的引渡。这一引渡请求自2020年以来一直未得到处理。
During her morning press conference following the 12th anniversary of the mass disappearance of the students on Sept. 26, President Sheinbaum announced that her government had made changes within Mexico's Attorney General's Office to secure Zeron's extradition, a request that has gone unaddressed since 2020.
“在引渡问题上，总检察长办公室甚至已经更换了相关工作人员，以加快从美国和以色列（托马斯·泽隆目前所在的地点）引渡他的进程。相关工作正在进行中，”她说。
“And in the case of extraditions, the Attorney General's Office has, at this time, even changed personnel within the office to accelerate all extradition processes, both from the United States and from Israel, which is where Tomas Zeron is. And work is underway on this,” she said.
尽管墨西哥政府曾提出给予泽隆豁免权以换取他的合作，但他仍选择在以色列自我流亡；由于两国之间缺乏引渡条约，墨西哥政府的引渡请求一直未能得到落实。
Although the Mexican government has offered Zeron immunity in exchange for his cooperation, he has remained in self-exile in Israel, while the lack of an extradition treaty between the two countries has stalled the Mexican government's requests.
谢因鲍姆表示，她曾直接致信以色列总统伊萨克·赫尔佐格，请求引渡泽隆，但未能取得任何结果。
Sheinbaum said she sent a letter directly to Israeli President Isaac Herzog requesting Zeron's extradition to no avail.
“他回复我们说，他已经将此事提交给了司法部门，但该问题超出了他的职权范围，”她说。
“He replied to us that he had raised this with the judiciary but that it fell outside the scope of his authority,” she said.
根据对莫雷纳党崛起后的调查（该党在2018年大选中取得了压倒性胜利），泽隆作为墨西哥国家安全情报局（AIC）的负责人，下令伪造证据并对证人实施酷刑，以获取能够支持官方事件版本的虚假证词。这些证据将犯罪集团“Guerreros Unidos”定为唯一的犯罪者，同时庇护了相关政府官员。
According to investigations carried out following the rise of the ruling Morena Party, which culminated in its historic landslide victory during the 2018 general elections, Zeron as head of the AIC ordered the fabrication of evidence and the torture of witnesses to extract false testimonies that upheld the official version of events at the time, holding the criminal syndicate Guerreros Unidos as the sole perpetrator while shielding government officials.
如果泽隆能够被引渡，这将是谢因鲍姆处理此案的一个重大成就。然而，这一进展至今仍未能让43名受害学生的家属感到满意。
Zeron's extradition would mark a major accomplishment in Sheinbaum's handling of the case, which so far has alienated the relatives of the 43 students.
阿约特辛帕事件的受害者家属认为，洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔政府以及现任的谢因鲍姆政府未能履行他们澄清案件真相的承诺；他们指出，那些涉嫌参与这起国家犯罪的高级军事指挥官仍然受到保护。
The parents of the Ayotzinapa victims have maintained that the government of Lopez Obrador and the current Sheinbaum administration have failed to fulfill their promises to clarify the case, arguing that protection continues to be afforded to senior military commanders allegedly involved in the state crime.
洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔和辛鲍姆一直坚称武装部队是清白的，尽管独立调查小组收集了大量证据，记录了军方曾派遣一名士兵潜入学生队伍进行监视，且在学生失踪前，身着便装的军人一直在对他们进行跟踪。
Lopez Obrador and Sheinbaum have maintained the innocence of the armed forces, despite extensive evidence gathered by independent investigative groups documenting that the military had infiltrated a soldier into the ranks of the students to monitor them and that military troops dressed in civilian clothing were surveilling the students before their disappearance.
在集体失踪事件发生十二年后，家长们仍然不知道孩子们的下落、失踪的原因，也不知道是谁下令发动了袭击。
Twelve years after the mass disappearance, the parents still do not know the whereabouts of their children, the reasons for their disappearance or who ordered the attack.
