英国北爱尔兰事务大臣周五禁止了一场备受争议的圣公会游行穿过一个以爱尔兰民族主义者和天主教徒为主的地区，此前双方僵持了近两周。北爱尔兰负责监管争议性游行的独立机构——游行委员会，此前已批准35名奥兰治会成员于9月27日上午8点起，在波塔当恩以爱尔兰民族主义者为主的加尔瓦希路沿线静默游行，不得携带乐队或支持者。
Britain's Northern Ireland Secretary on Friday banned a contentious Protestant parade through a mostly Irish nationalist and Catholic district after a nearly two-week standoff. The Parades Commission, Northern Ireland's independent body regulating contentious processions, had authorised 35 Orangemen to march silently along the mostly Irish nationalist enclave of Garvaghy Road in Portadown, without bands or supporters from 8:00 am on September 27.
但数千民众封锁了游行路线，导致近三十年来首次获准沿该路线举行的游行被迫中止。此后，奥兰治会成员一直聚集在附近的德伦克里教堂，要求完成游行，而当地居民则继续抗议。“我呼吁所有抗议、集会和示威活动立即停止。”
But thousands blocked the procession, halting the first parade which had been allowed along the route in almost three decades. The Orangemen have since remained at nearby Drumcree Church, demanding to complete the march, while residents maintained their protest"I call for all protests, rallies and demonstrations to be stood down.
“持续升级紧张局势没有任何借口，”部长克里斯·布莱恩特在一份声明中表示。布莱恩特称，出于公共安全考虑，批准此次游行举行的情况如今已“发生了重大变化”。“因此，游行无法按照原计划进行，”他说道，并补充道：“没有人希望重蹈覆辙。”该游行最后一次沿贝尔法斯特西南25英里处的波塔唐的加尔瓦希路举行是在1997年。
There is no excuse for a continued ratcheting up of tensions," the minister, Chris Bryant, said in a statement. In the interest of public safety, Bryant said circumstances under which the procession was given the go ahead had now "changed considerably"."As a result, the procession cannot go ahead as it was determined," he said, adding: "No-one wants a return to the past." The procession last went along Garvaghy Road in Portadown, 25 miles southwest of Belfast, in 1997.
次年，该游行被禁止，此前不久，一项和平协议基本结束了英国对北爱尔兰长达三十年的统治所引发的冲突。北爱尔兰警察局局长乔恩·布彻对这一决定表示欢迎。他说，他已于周五致信布莱恩特，要求后者重新审议该省游行委员会此前的决定。——对和平进程的信心——布彻表示，他阐述了自身评估，“即所有可行、合法且适度的、有助于完成此次游行的方案均已用尽”。
It was barred the following year, soon after a peace accord largely ended three decades of conflict over British rule in Northern Ireland. Police Service of Northern Ireland Chief Constable Jon Boutcher welcomed the decision. He said he wrote to Bryant on Friday asking him to review an earlier decision by the province's Parades Commission.- Trust in peace process -Boutcher said he outlined his assessment "that all available, lawful and proportionate options to facilitate completion of the procession had been exhausted".He added that any operation to allow the march to go ahead would have carried an "unacceptable" risk of serious injury and disorder.
他还补充说，任何允许此次游行举行的行动都将带来“不可接受”的严重伤害和骚乱风险。布彻称，此举还将对“……和平进程”所依赖的信任与信心造成“灾难性的长期后果”。围绕同一游行的争议曾在20世纪90年代引发致命骚乱。爱尔兰共和派新芬党主席玛丽·卢·麦克唐纳和副主席米歇尔·奥尼尔在一份联合声明中，向加尔瓦希路的居民致敬，称他们在“面对挑衅和恐吓时展现了非凡的坚韧与尊严”。
This, Boutcher said, would also have had "catastrophic long term consequences for trust and confidence in... the peace process".A dispute over the same parade triggered deadly unrest in the 1990s. In a joint statement, the Irish Republican Sinn Fein party's president Mary Lou McDonald and vice president Michelle O'Neill paid tribute to the residents of the Garvaghy Road who they said had "shown remarkable strength and dignity in the face of provocation and intimidation"."There will be an enormous sense of relief within the community this evening," the said."
“今晚，社区内将弥漫着巨大的如释重负之感，”她们表示。“在过去两周里，当地居民承受了本不该由他们承担的痛苦与焦虑。”
For two weeks, local residents have endured fear and anxiety through no fault of their own.
“他们从未要求重新揭开这道伤口。”北爱尔兰最大的亲英政党——民主统一党领袖加文·罗宾逊表示，北爱尔兰的法治已经“被彻底破坏”。“警察总长将此事提交给国务大臣，并得出结论认为游行无法继续，这完全是共和派煽动、动员以及潜在暴力威胁迫在眉睫的直接结果，”他说。“这些决定是错误的，也释放出一种危险的信号：国家治理竟然取决于谁的人数更多、谁叫得最响，”他补充道。
They never asked for this wound to be reopened." But Gavin Robinson, leader of the Democratic Unionist Party , Northern Ireland's largest pro-UK party, said the rule of law in Northern Ireland had been "fatally undermined"."The decision of the Chief Constable to refer the matter to the Secretary of State and his conclusion that the parade cannot proceed is a direct result of republican agitation, mobilisation and the looming threats of potential violence," he said." These decisions are a mistake, and send profound signals that the country should be run on force of numbers and who shouts the loudest," he added.
北爱尔兰曾长达三十年饱受冲突困扰，冲突双方主要是天主教徒、亲爱尔兰的共和派，以及新教徒、亲英国的统一派。奥兰治会是一个亲英组织，其名称源自奥兰治的威廉——这位荷兰新教徒从天主教国王詹姆斯二世手中夺取了英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰的王位。本文内容由自动新闻机构信息流生成，未对文本进行任何修改。
