伦敦，10月6日——检察官周二向伦敦陪审团陈述称，三名伊朗男子受伊朗外国情报机构指使，监视居住在英国的持不同政见记者，目的是对他们实施报复，以惩罚他们对伊朗政权的批评。
LONDON, Oct 6 - Three Iranian men spied on British-based dissident journalists on behalf of Iran's foreign intelligence service in order to attack them "as retribution for their criticism of the Iranian regime", prosecutors told a London jury on Tuesday.
这三名男子被指控于2024年8月至2025年3月期间，监视为波斯语电视台“伊朗国际”工作的记者。该电视台长期批评伊朗政府。
The trio are accused of surveilling journalists working for Iran International, a Persian-language television station which is critical of Iran's government, between August 2024 and March 2025.
41岁的莫斯塔法·塞帕万德、46岁的法尔哈德·贾瓦迪·马内什以及57岁的沙普尔·卡莱哈利·卡尼·努里均否认了英国《国家安全法》所规定的两项指控。该法律旨在赋予当局更多权力来应对来自外国的威胁。
Mostafa Sepahvand, 41, Farhad Javadi Manesh, 46, and Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, 57, have each denied two charges under Britain's National Security Act, brought in to give the authorities new powers to target threats from foreign states.
本周，伍利奇刑事法庭开始审理此案，此时英国与伊朗之间的紧张关系正不断升级。检察官指出，伊朗多次对国内外的批评者和持不同政见者实施打击。
Their trial at Woolwich Crown Court began this week at time of growing tension between Britain and Iran, which prosecutors say has repeatedly targeted critics and dissidents both inside the Islamic Republic and abroad.
检察官比尔·埃姆林·琼斯对陪审团说道：“清除那些持反对意见或批评声音的人……实际上已成为伊朗伊斯兰共和国的一贯政策。”
"Eliminating hostile or critical voices ... has effectively become a staple policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran," prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones told jurors.
他补充道，这三名被告曾对至少两名“伊朗国际”的记者展开调查，前往他们的住址附近，拍摄照片和视频，为实施袭击做准备，而塞帕万德则被指定执行该行动。
He said the three defendants conducted research about at least two Iran International journalists, visiting addresses linked to them and taking photos and videos in preparation for an attack which Sepahvand was to carry out.
埃姆林·琼斯强调：“他们的最终目的就是让这些目标中的一人甚至多人遭受严重暴力伤害，这无疑是为了报复他们对伊朗政权的批评，并试图以此震慑和压制其他批评者。”
"Their ultimate objective was that one, perhaps more than one, of these targets would be subjected to serious violence, no doubt as retribution for their criticism of the Iranian regime and to try to silence and deter others," Emlyn Jones said.
他还指出，三名被告均承认自己曾前往相关地点拍摄照片和视频，但对于这么做的原因各执一词。马内什和努里坚称自己并不知晓此举是在协助伊朗情报机构；而塞帕万德则承认自己心知肚明，只是因受到胁迫或威胁才照办。
He told the court the three defendants accepted going to places and taking photos and videos, but disputed why they had done so. Emlyn Jones said Manesh and Noori's case was that they did not know they were doing so to assist Iranian intelligence, while Sepahvand accepted he knew but had been "bullied or threatened into doing what he did".
