加拿大皇家骑警称，警方逮捕了一名被指控威胁杀害总理马克·卡尼的埃德蒙顿男子。
Police arrested an Edmonton man accused of threatening to kill Prime Minister Mark Carney, RCMP say.
据加拿大皇家骑警西北联邦警察区综合国家安全执法小组周四发布的新闻稿称，44岁的德怀特·彼得·麦金泰尔因上月涉嫌在社交媒体上发布针对卡尼的死亡威胁而被起诉。
Dwight Peter MacIntyre, 44, has been charged with uttering a death threat against Carney, following alleged social media activity last month, according to a Thursday news release from the RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET).
加拿大皇家骑警西北联邦警察区国家安全主管马特·约翰逊警长在新闻稿中表示：“人们不应认为在网上发出威胁可以不受后果。当网络言论越过界限构成犯罪行为时，警方将展开调查并采取适当措施，追究相关人员的责任。”
“People should not assume they can make threats online without consequences. When online comments cross the line into criminal conduct, police will investigate and take appropriate action to hold those responsible accountable,” Supt. Matt Johnson, officer in charge of national security with RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region, said in the news release.
警方表示，综合国家安全执法小组于9月4日开始调查，此前加拿大皇家骑警获悉一名X平台（前身为推特）用户涉嫌发布了针对总理的威胁言论。加拿大皇家骑警未提供有关该威胁言论的更多细节。
“Criminal online actions have real-world consequences, regardless of whether they are made behind a screen.”Police said INSET started investigating on Sept. 4, after RCMP became aware of a user on X, formerly known as Twitter, who had allegedly posted threats targeting the prime minister. RCMP didn't provide additional details about the alleged threats.
警方称，9月9日，即调查开始五天后，综合国家安全执法小组人员逮捕并起诉了麦金泰尔。
On Sept. 9, five days after the investigation started, INSET officers arrested and charged MacIntyre in relation to the incident, RCMP said.
警方未说明逮捕地点。但在周四的声明中，综合国家安全执法小组官员感谢了埃德蒙顿警察局和加拿大皇家骑警阿尔伯塔省帕克兰分队在调查中的支持。麦金泰尔定于11月25日在埃德蒙顿的阿尔伯塔省法院出庭。
Police didn't say where the arrest happened. But in Thursday's statement, INSET officials thanked the Edmonton Police Service and the Alberta RCMP’s Parkland detachment for their support in the investigation. MacIntyre is scheduled to appear at the Alberta Court of Justice in Edmonton on Nov. 25.
在周四的声明中，加拿大皇家骑警警告称，“现在是提高警惕的时候”，因为加拿大国内及国际公共人物所处的安全环境仍在不断变化。
In Thursday's statement, RCMP warned "this is a time for increased vigilance," as the security environment in which public figures operate continues to evolve within Canada and abroad.
自卡尼一年多前就任公职以来，麦金泰尔并非首个被指控威胁他的人。
MacIntyre is not the first person to have allegedly threatened Carney since he took public office more than a year ago.
卡尔加里一名男子上个月被捕并被起诉，原因是他涉嫌威胁要杀死卡尼。今年早些时候，魁北克省也有两名男子因类似指控被捕。
A Calgary man was arrested and charged last month, in connection with allegations he threatened to kill Carney. Two men in Quebec were also arrested earlier this year on similar allegations.
