美国伊斯兰关系委员会(CAIR)周五呼吁白宫和国会要求以色列政府释放阿卜杜勒卡里姆·伊萨·艾哈迈德·萨菲(Abdalkareem Issa Ahmed Safi)——这名美国青少年在以色列监狱中被关押了近四个月,却未受到任何刑事指控。
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Friday called on the White House and Congress to demand the release of Abdalkareem Issa Ahmed Safi, an American teenager held in an Israeli prison for nearly four months without charge.
“以色列政府继续绑架美国人,并将他们关押在以酷刑著称的监狱中,而这一切都未附带任何刑事指控或正当法律程序,这对白宫和国会来说是不可接受的,”CAIR的全国执行主任尼哈德·阿瓦德(Nihad Awad)在一份声明中表示。
"It should be unacceptable to the White House and Congress for the Israeli government to continue kidnapping Americans and disappearing them into prisons known for torture, all without any criminal charges or other due process," Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director, said in a statement.
“特朗普政府有法律和道德义务保护海外美国公民,尤其是那些由美国纳税人资金支持的‘流氓政府’所迫害的公民,”他补充道。
"The Trump administration has a legal and moral obligation to protect American citizens overseas, especially from rogue governments funded by American taxpayer dollars," he added.
阿瓦德敦促国会“行使监督权,要求国务院确保阿卜杜勒卡里姆能够迅速且安全地获释。”
Awad urged Congress "to exercise its oversight authority and demand that the State Department secure Abdalkareem's swift and safe release."
CAIR及其德克萨斯州的分会表示,萨菲是一名拥有德克萨斯州血统的美国公民,他“在以酷刑闻名的以色列监狱中被关押了近四个月,且未受到任何刑事指控”。根据总部位于美国的“美国穆斯林支持巴勒斯坦组织”(American Muslims for Palestine)发布的声明,今年6月,以色列军队在深夜突袭了萨菲位于被占领的西岸拉马拉市以北的贾拉佐内(Jalazone)的家中。
CAIR and its chapter in the state of Texas said Safi, a US citizen with roots in Texas, has been "held hostage in an Israeli prison known for torture for almost four months without facing any criminal charges." According to a statement from the US-based American Muslims for Palestine, Israeli forces this June raided Safi's family home in Jalazone, north of the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, in the middle of the night.
该组织指出,萨菲是与萨玛·萨菲(Sama Safi)和亚当·卡拉克拉(Adam Karakrah)一同被以色列军队拘留的第三名巴勒斯坦裔美国公民。据总部位于美国的独立新闻机构Zeteo的报道,以色列当局随后以未向萨菲的律师和家人透露的信息为依据,对他下达了行政拘留令。这种做法使得以色列能够未经指控或审判就继续关押被拘留者。
The group said Safi is the third Palestinian American citizen detained by Israeli forces without charge or trial, alongside Sama Safi and Adam Karakrah. According to a report by US-based independent news outlet Zeteo, Israeli authorities issued an administrative detention order against him days later, based on information withheld from his lawyer and family. The practice allows Israel to hold detainees without charge or trial.
国务院“正在跟踪事态发展”当被问及此案时,美国国务院发言人告诉阿纳多卢通讯社,该部门“知悉有关一名美国人在约旦河西岸被拘留的报道。”“特朗普政府严肃对待协助海外美国公民的承诺,我们正在跟踪事态发展,”该发言人表示。
State Department 'tracking the situation' Asked about the case, a US State Department spokesman told Anadolu that the department is "aware of reports of an American detained in the West Bank." "The Trump Administration takes its commitment to assist Americans abroad seriously and we are tracking the situation," the spokesman said.
“当美国人在海外被拘留时,国务院会代表他们努力争取获得充分的医疗照顾、适当的待遇和定期的领事探视,”该发言人补充道。
"When Americans are detained abroad, the Department works on their behalf to obtain access to adequate medical care, proper treatment, and regular consular visits," the spokesman added.
该发言人表示,政府“没有比美国公民的安全和安保更高的优先事项”,但拒绝进一步置评,理由是“隐私和其他考量”。
The spokesman said the administration "has no higher priority than the safety and security of Americans," but declined to comment further, citing "privacy and other considerations."
