联合国特别报告员周四敦促马来西亚停止持续遣返缅甸国民，警告称，在冲突持续的情况下将他们送回缅甸可能违反不遣返原则。
A UN special rapporteur on Thursday urged Malaysia to halt the ongoing repatriation of Myanmar nationals, warning that returning them amid continuing conflict could violate the principle of non-refoulement.
联合国缅甸人权特别报告员凯利·柯里（Kelley Currie）在一份声明中表示：“我严重关切，马来西亚政府已开始在缅甸军当局达成的所谓‘自愿遣返计划’下，遣返5000名缅甸国民，其中包括妇女和儿童。”声明称，马来西亚于9月29日开始了首批1476人的遣返。
“I am gravely concerned the Government of Malaysia has begun to return 5,000 Myanmar nationals, including women and children, under a so-called ‘voluntary repatriation programme’ agreed with the military authorities in Myanmar,” Kelley Currie, UN special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, said in a statement. Malaysia began repatriating the first group of 1,476 people on Sept. 29, according to the statement.
柯里表示，目前遣返风险“相当高”，并强调目前尚不具备实现“安全、有尊严、可持续且真正自愿”返乡的条件。
Currie said the risk of refoulement under current circumstances was “substantial,” stressing that conditions for a “safe, dignified, sustainable, and genuinely voluntary” return were not in place.
她指出，若开邦的武装冲突和广泛暴力仍在持续，包括针对罗兴亚人的暴行。
She pointed to ongoing armed conflict and widespread violence in Rakhine State, including violations against the Rohingya population.
柯里还谴责了缅甸军方9月28日对若开邦皎妥镇派克泰村一处拥挤集市发动的空袭。据报道，此次空袭造成50多名平民死亡，许多人受伤。
Currie also condemned a Sept. 28 airstrike by Myanmar’s military on a crowded marketplace in Pike Thae village, Kyauktaw Township in Rakhine, which reportedly killed more than 50 civilians and injured many others.
她敦促马来西亚注意自愿遣返所需满足的法律、人道主义及实际标准，并确保所有在马来西亚的缅甸难民的人权得到保护。
She urged Malaysia to take note of the legal, humanitarian and practical criteria required for voluntary repatriation and ensure that the human rights of all Myanmar refugees in Malaysia are protected.
