德拉姆克里争端:上诉法院将审理居民对游行的挑战针对允许一场有争议的奥兰治教团游行穿过以民族主义者为主的道路的决定提出的挑战,将于稍后在法院审理。
Drumcree dispute: Court of Appeal to hear residents' parade challenge A challenge to the decision to allow a contentious Orange Order parade to go ahead is to be heard later. A challenge to the decision to allow a controversial Orange Order parade to go down a predominantly nationalist road is due to be heard in court later.
关于波特当拟议游行的僵局——遭到加瓦吉路居民反对——自上周日早晨以来一直持续。
The deadlock over the proposed march in Portadown - opposed by residents of the Garvaghy Road - has lasted since last Sunday morning.
这一僵局重新开启了曾经是北爱尔兰最激烈的游行争端,90年代中期至晚期的对峙伴随着骚乱、路障和杀戮。
The stalemate has reopened what was once the most bitter parading dispute in Northern Ireland, with stand-offs in the mid-to-late 90s accompanied by riots, roadblocks and killings.
新的上诉法院申请辩称,批准游行的游行委员会在警方对潜在骚乱的评估问题上“实质性地误导了自己”。
The fresh Court of Appeal application argues that the Parades Commission, the organisation that approved the march, had "materially misdirected itself" on the police assessment of the potential for disorder.
申请还称,委员会在其决定中未能对北爱尔兰警察局(PSNI)的证据做出“准确表述”。
The application also said the commission had not given an "accurate representation" of PSNI evidence in its decision.
周一的听证会定于英国夏令时间上午10:30左右在贝尔法斯特开始。9月25日星期五,游行委员会决定允许游行在限制条件下进行。
Monday's hearing is due to begin in Belfast at about 10:30 BST. On Friday 25 September, the Parades Commission decided that the march could go ahead with restrictions in place.
居民的上诉将是自游行获批以来的最新法律挑战,此前在周六晚间至周日凌晨的13小时内,经过三轮单独的法律听证后,游行获得了许可。
The residents' appeal will be the latest legal challenge since it was given the go-ahead after three separate legal hearings over the course of 13 hours late on Saturday and into the early hours of Sunday morning.
上周日,从德拉姆克里教堂前往波特当的游行因主要民族主义者聚居的加瓦吉路发生大规模抗议而未能举行。
Last Sunday, the parade, from Drumcree Church into Portadown, did not happen due to a large protest on the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road.
抗议者此后一直留在路上,尽管人数大幅减少,而波特当地区奥兰治分会则在约一英里外的德拉姆克里教堂保持存在。
Protesters have since remained on the road, although in much smaller numbers, and the Portadown District Orange Lodge has maintained a presence at Drumcree Church, about a mile away.
周二,加瓦吉路居民联盟(GRRC)的律师发起新的法律诉讼,试图阻止游行进行。与此同时,旨在解决争端的讨论一直在进行。
On Tuesday, lawyers for the Garvaghy Road Residents' Coalition (GRRC) issued a fresh legal bid to try to prevent the march from going ahead. In the meantime discussions aimed at resolving the dispute have been ongoing.
北爱警务委员会周四在贝尔法斯特举行的公开会议上,北爱警察局局长乔恩·布彻也讨论了这场争议。针对德拉姆克里游行争议的警务行动迄今已耗资约300万英镑。
PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher also discussed the dispute at a public meeting of the Policing Board in Belfast on Thursday. The policing operation over the Drumcree parading dispute has cost about £3m so far.
