沙巴娜·马哈茂德声称，几乎所有试图从法国北部乘小船前往英国的妇女，在旅途中都遭受过强奸。
Nearly all women who try to reach the UK in small boats from northern France have been raped on their journey, Shabana Mahmood has claimed.
在接受《其余皆是政治》（The Rest Is Politics）播客采访时，这位内政大臣表示，如果极右翼、戴巴拉克拉法帽的激进分子掌权，他们会“杀了我”或“把我赶出我自己的国家”。
In an interview with The Rest Is Politics podcast, the home secretary said far-right, balaclava-wearing activists would “kill” or “kick me out of my own country” if they took power.
在与前保守党大臣罗里·斯图尔特以及托尼·布莱尔的前贴身顾问阿拉斯泰尔·坎贝尔交谈时，她表示，只要人口贩运者继续决定谁能进入英国，性侵犯者就会利用大多数寻求庇护者。
Speaking to the former Tory minister Rory Stewart and Tony Blair’s former close adviser Alastair Campbell, she said sexual abusers would exploit most asylum seekers as long as traffickers continued to decide who came to the UK.
她说：“我们无法控制这条边境。那些最终抵达法国北部并准备登上橡皮艇的人，是由犯罪团伙筛选的，顺便说一句，这些人也是人口贩运者。
She said: “We’re not in control of this border. The sifting of the people that end up in the north of France and are about to get on a dinghy is done by criminal gangs who are also, by the way, people traffickers.
“几乎可以肯定，每一个在法国北部的女性在旅途中都遭受过强奸。一些男性也是如此，他们肯定遭受过虐待和威胁。这不应该成为决定某人能否来到英国、将此作为避难所并最终成为我们一员的模式。”当坎贝尔问及戴巴拉克拉法帽的抗议者封锁港口并赞扬她的政策时，她表示这些人应该“滚开”。
“You can almost guarantee that every woman that’s in the north of France has probably been raped along the journey. Some of the men too, they’ve certainly been abused and threatened. That is not the model that should decide whether somebody gets to come to the UK, make this their place of sanctuary and ultimately become one of us.”Asked by Campbell about balaclava-wearing protesters shutting down ports and praising her policies, she said they should “sod off”.
她补充道：“他们只是捣乱分子。你知道，如果他们能的话，一分钟就能杀了我，而且肯定会把我赶出我自己的国家。所以，让我们非常清楚地认识到他们是谁、他们是什么。他们认为我不是真正的英国人，并且憎恨我是一个穆斯林这一事实。”马哈茂德还表示，她认为自己“是亲巴勒斯坦事业的一部分”，并对逮捕反对禁止“巴勒斯坦行动”（Palestine Action）的激进分子一事感到“非常不安”。
She added: “They’re just troublemakers. You know, they’d kill me in a minute if they could, and they’d definitely kick me out of my own country. So let’s just be really clear about who and what they are. They don’t think I’m a true Brit and they hate the fact that I’m a Muslim.”Mahmood also said she considered herself “part of the pro-Palestinian cause” and felt “very uncomfortable” over the arrests of activists opposing the ban imposed on Palestine Action.
默西赛德郡警方周一在工党大会上逮捕了82人，怀疑他们穿着或携带支持被禁止组织的物品。
Merseyside police arrested 82 people on Monday at the Labour party conference on suspicion of wearing or carrying articles supporting a proscribed organisation.
在由"捍卫我们的陪审团"组织的一场抗议活动中,数十人坐在利物浦会议中心外,许多人手持自制横幅,表示支持"巴勒斯坦行动"。
In a protest organised by Defend Our Juries, scores of people sat outside the conference centre in Liverpool, many holding handmade banners saying they supported Palestine Action.
马哈茂德说:"对于我们这些毕生致力于支持巴勒斯坦事业的人来说,这些人——有时你会认出他们是谁,你知道,你曾和他们一起游行——看到他们触犯《反恐法》第13条,感觉非常不舒服。"
Mahmood said: “For those of us who have been in the pro-Palestinian cause all of our lives, these are people – sometimes you’ll know who they are, you know, you’ve been on the marches with them – it feels very uncomfortable to see them falling foul of section 13 of the Terrorism Act.”
然而,她为执行禁令进行了辩护,不顾个人观点:"你必须能够坚持你的原则,即使这让你感到不适,因为当你全心全意、充满激情地投入某事时,你会真正想要坚持这些原则。"
However, she defended enforcing the ban, regardless of her views: “You’ve got to be able to apply your principles, even when it’s uncomfortable for you, because you’re going to really want to apply them when it’s something you, you know, with your whole heart, are feeling very passionately about.”
周日,当局正在为一艘驶向南海岸的移民小艇到达做准备。根据船只追踪数据,该艇正被法国海岸警卫队和救援船只跟踪,并正向英吉利海峡分界线移动。该艇似乎于周日上午从诺曼底犹他海滩附近出发。
Authorities were preparing on Sunday for the arrival of a migrant dinghy heading for the south coast. The boat was being shadowed by French coastguard and rescue vessels and moving toward the Channel boundary line, according to ship tracking data. It appeared to have set off from near the Utah Beach area of Normandy on Sunday morning.
汉普郡戈斯波特选区的保守党议员卡罗琳·迪内奇表示,"没有迹象表明"该艇会登陆该郡海岸,但警方"正在做准备,以防情况发生变化"。
Caroline Dinenage, the Conservative MP for Gosport in Hampshire, said there was “nothing to suggest” the boat would land on the county’s coast but police were “making preparations should that situation change”.
政府发言人表示:"边境安全指挥部全天候监控英吉利海峡并保护我们的边境。我们继续拘留、检查和处理每一艘抵达的小艇至关重要。"
A government spokesperson said: “The Border Security Command works around the clock to monitor the Channel and protect our border. It is vital we continue to detain, check and process every small boat arrival.”
难民委员会主任伊姆兰·侯赛因欢迎内政大臣承认普遍存在的性暴力,但质疑为何政府关闭了本可帮助寻求庇护者避免落入掠食者手中的安全合法途径。
Imran Hussain, a director at the Refugee Council, welcomed the home secretary’s acknowledgment of widespread sexual violence, but questioned why the government had closed safe and legal routes which could help asylum seekers avoid falling into the hands of predators.
“我们从服务中了解到，逃离战争和迫害的妇女和女孩，既在她们逃离的冲突中，也在被迫为寻求安全而踏上旅途的过程中，面临性暴力，”他说。
“We know from our services that women and girls fleeing war and persecution face sexual violence both in the conflicts they have escaped and on the journeys they are forced to make in search of safety,” he said.
“这就是为什么我们在欢迎政府上周宣布新的安全路线时，呼吁不要将其限制在几百人。去年政府关闭了家庭团聚这一安全路线，而这条路线主要惠及妇女和儿童。
“That is why in welcoming the government’s announcement last week of new safe routes we called for them not to be limited to a few hundred people. Last year the government closed family reunion, the safe route for refugees which overwhelmingly benefits women and children.
“谈论妇女在这些旅途中面临的危险完全正确，但我们不应关闭那些本可让她们免受伤害的安全路线。保护妇女意味着更多安全路线，而非更少。”
“It is entirely right to talk about the dangers women face on these journeys but we should not be closing the safe routes that could keep them out of harm’s way. Protecting women means more safe routes, not fewer.”
