马德里，9月29日——西班牙国防部周三表示，已将该组织发布的报告提交给检察官，并要求对报告中指控的“军方在休达地区对移民实施酷刑或虐待行为”的内容展开内部调查，以确定是否存在相关责任人员。
MADRID, Sept 29 - Spain's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday it had alerted prosecutors to an Amnesty International report alleging the military tortured or mistreated migrants in Ceuta, and ordered an internal probe into whether any personnel were to blame.
该人权组织指责西班牙武装部队成员对那些从摩洛哥越过边境后滞留在该北非地区的移民实施了酷刑及其他残忍、不人道或侮辱性的行为。截至7月底，已有超过7.2万名移民越过边境进入休达地区；虽然大部分移民后来离开了该地区，但仍有至少1万名移民滞留在此，给当地资源带来了巨大压力，并加剧了社会紧张局势。
The rights group accused members of Spain's armed forces of torture and other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment of migrants stranded in the North African enclave after over 72,000 crossed the border from Morocco in late July. Though most of the migrants later went back, at least 10,000 remain in the tiny Spanish enclave in North Africa, straining local resources and fuelling tensions.
国际特赦组织西班牙分部负责人埃斯特万·贝尔特兰告诉路透社，该组织记录了22起由军方人员实施的酷刑和虐待事件。据他介绍，这些行为具有明显的规律性：军方人员在夜间行动中追逐、殴打并羞辱移民，其中包括妇女和无人陪伴的儿童。
Amnesty International Spain Director Esteban Beltran told Reuters the group had documented 22 cases of torture and abuse by military personnel. In what he said appeared to be a pattern, troops had pursued, beaten and humiliated migrants, including women and unaccompanied children, in nighttime operations.
国际特赦组织表示，他们查看的照片和视频均证实了有关过度使用武力的指控；其中一些视频显示，武装人员戴着头罩，对移民实施殴打，并向他们的脸上喷洒刺激性物质，随后将他们强行驱逐出境。
Amnesty said photographs and videos it reviewed were consistent with allegations of excessive force, including images of hooded personnel striking migrants and spraying their faces with irritants before pushing them across the border.
国防部表示：“鉴于国际特赦组织发布的报告，我们已决定将报告提交给休达地区的检察官办公室及当地法院，并要求作战指挥部对相关事件进行调查，以查明可能的责任人。”
"In view of the report made public by Amnesty International, it has been agreed to send the report to the prosecutor's office and the duty court in Ceuta, and to instruct the Operations Command to investigate and clarify any possible individual responsibilities," the Defence Ministry said.
贝尔特兰对这一举措表示欢迎，但认为这一行动本应更早采取，并呼吁展开彻底的调查，并立即暂停涉事人员的职务。“至少作为预防措施，这些涉事人员不应再继续履行职责，直到责任明确为止。”他还呼吁为仍在休达地区露宿的移民提供更多人道主义援助。
Amnesty's Beltran welcomed the move but said it should have come sooner, calling for an exhaustive investigation and the suspension of any military personnel implicated. "These individuals cannot remain in their duties for a single minute longer, at least as a precautionary measure, until responsibilities are determined," he said. Amnesty also called for improved humanitarian assistance for migrants still sleeping rough in Ceuta.
贝尔特兰说：“这种情况让我们非常担忧。他们生活在恶劣的条件下。”
"This situation has worried us greatly. They are living in deplorable conditions," Beltran said.
