部队成员可能面临刑事起诉。据称，在SAS调查组展开调查后发现了相关证据，显示英国军人在阿富汗可能犯下了严重罪行，这些证据随后被移交给了军事警察部门。
UK special forces (UKSF) personnel could face prosecution after evidence found following enquiries by the SAS Inquiry, suggesting serious offences may have been committed in Afghanistan, was handed to the military police.
这些证据于周一在法庭审理过程中被披露，这也是该调查组首次公开承认其调查结果可能引发刑事起诉。
The evidence came to light in court proceedings on Monday and is the first time the inquiry has publicly acknowledged that its findings could lead to criminal prosecutions.
根据《武装部队法》规定，英国特种部队今年早些时候必须将相关证据移交军事警察部门。该法律将谋杀和过失杀人等列为第二类严重罪行。
The referral - made by the UKSF earlier this year - was required under the Armed Forces Act, which defines Schedule 2 serious offences as including murder and manslaughter.
这些证据涉及2010年至2013年间英国军人执行的多次拘留行动。
It relates to a number of detention operations carried out by British personnel between 2010 and 2013.
英国国防部在今年早些时候经SAS调查组调查后发现了这些证据，随后英国特种部队将其移交给了军事警察下属的国防严重犯罪调查组——该专门机构成立于2022年，负责处理最为严重的犯罪行为。
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) found the evidence earlier this year, following investigation by the SAS Inquiry, and then UKSF referred it to the military police's Defence Serious Crime Unit (DSCU), a specialist unit set up in 2022 to deal with the most serious crimes.
BBC获得的法庭文件显示，国防严重犯罪调查组已对这些证据进行了初步评估，但在调查结束前暂时搁置了任何刑事调查工作。
Court documents obtained by the BBC suggest that the DSCU has undertaken a scoping exercise of the evidence, but the unit has paused any criminal investigations until the inquiry has been concluded.
此外，英国国防部向BBC表示，在调查仍在进行期间开展刑事调查被认为并不妥当。
Separately, the MoD told the BBC it was deemed inappropriate for criminal investigations to be undertaken while the inquiry was still ongoing.
这项针对阿富汗问题的独立调查旨在核实以下指控：2010年至2013年间，英国陆军特种空勤团在执行拘留任务时非法杀害平民；高级官员试图掩盖这些杀戮事件的真实情况。
The Independent Inquiry relating to Afghanistan is examining allegations that the British Army's Special Air Service (SAS) unlawfully killed people during detention operations in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013, and that senior officials sought to cover up the true circumstances of the killings.
过去八年间，BBC《全景》栏目一直在调查有关特种空勤团处决戴着手铐的平民及儿童的指控。在该栏目曝光相关情况后，英国政府于2022年启动了此次公开调查。
BBC Panorama has been investigating allegations the SAS executed handcuffed civilians and children, for more than eight years. The public inquiry was established in 2022 in the wake of Panorama's revelations.
此次证据移交事宜是在一名调查证人向高等法院提起诉讼的过程中被披露的。
The DSCU referral came to light during a High Court hearing brought by a witness to the inquiry.
这位证人是一名曾在阿富汗服役的英国高级军官。由于军方证人的法律团队被排除在与举报人的闭门听证会之外，他已获准对该调查程序提起司法复核。目前，公众调查的大部分证据采集过程均在秘密状态下进行。
The witness, a senior British military officer who served in Afghanistan, has won permission to have the inquiry judicially reviewed after military witnesses' legal teams were excluded from closed-door evidence hearings with whistleblowers. Much of the public inquiry's evidence is being heard in secret.
这位高级军官的律师指出，整个调查程序有失公平，该军官理应获得机会，亲自或通过律师向举报人询问那些针对他的指控。
Lawyers for the senior officer argued the process was unfair and the officer should have an opportunity to question the whistleblowers, either in person or through his lawyers, regarding any allegations made against him.
调查组的律师则辩称，调查机构“必须能够从那些对作证心存顾虑的人士处获取高度敏感的信息”。
The inquiry's lawyers said it "must be able to obtain highly sensitive information" from people who may be concerned about giving evidence.
他们还称，受到保护的证人担心自己的身份一旦泄露，就会招致“英国特种部队的严重报复”。您是否掌握与此事件相关的信息并希望分享给我们？
They said protected witnesses had raised fears of "grievous consequences by UKSF" if their identities were revealed. Do you have information about this story that you want to share?
