萨尔瓦多大规模审判将数百人置于同一被告席。律师警告称，在纳伊布·布克尔总统打击帮派行动期间被监禁人员的大规模审判存在证据模糊和辩护权受限等问题。
Mass Trials Put Hundreds in One Dock in El Salvador Lawyers warn that the mass trials of people imprisoned during President Nayib Bukele’s gang crackdown are marred by vague evidence and restrictions on a proper defense.
在萨尔瓦多各地，数百名囚犯通过视频同时出庭，参加单一的联合听证会。一些律师表示，他们是在审判当天才第一次见到自己的客户。人权组织称，个别匿名证人同时对数十名嫌疑人作证。
Across El Salvador, hundreds of inmates appear in court by video simultaneously for a single, joint hearing. Some lawyers say that they are first meeting their clients on the same day as their trial. And individual anonymous witnesses are testifying against dozens of suspects at a time, human rights groups say.
在布克尔政府逮捕数万人以打击帮派暴力四年多后，这些被拘留者终于迎来了他们的法庭之日。但大多数律师表示，这些审判前所未见。
More than four years after President Nayib Bukele’s administration arrested tens of thousands of people in a crackdown on gang violence, those detained are finally getting their day in court. But the trials are unlike anything seen before by most lawyers.
根据周三发布的一份新报告以及四位直接向《纽约时报》发言的辩护律师的说法，数百名被拘留者同时面临大规模审判，结果几乎全部因帮派相关罪行而被定罪。
Hundreds of detainees at a time face mass trials that result in near-universal convictions for gang-related offenses, according to a new report released Wednesday by Human Rights Watch, as well as four defense lawyers who spoke directly to The New York Times.
律师和人权观察组织报告称，这些审判中普遍存在违反国际人权公约的行为。
The lawyers and Human Rights Watch reported widespread violations of international human rights conventions in these trials.
该人权组织认定，法官经常阻止查阅案卷，检察官则威胁要对拟出庭的辩护证人提起诉讼。这些发现基于对15名代表因帮派相关罪行被捕人员的律师的采访——其中四人接受了《纽约时报》的采访——以及对涵盖600多名被告的四份起诉书和一份量刑文件的审查。律师表示，快节奏的大规模程序使他们几乎没有时间提出辩护。此外，这些案件严重依赖匿名的认罪协议证词，以及警方官员承认是伪造或基于未经证实证据的报告。
The human rights group determined that judges routinely blocked access to files and prosecutors threatened proposed defense witnesses with prosecution. The findings were based on interviews with 15 lawyers representing people arrested for gang-related crimes — four of whom spoke to The Times — and a review of four indictments covering more than 600 defendants and a sentencing document. Lawyers said that the fast-paced mass proceedings gave them little time to present a defense. Furthermore, the cases rely heavily on anonymous plea-bargain testimony and on reports that some police officials have acknowledged are fabricated or based on uncorroborated evidence.
人权观察组织的报告补充称，检察官和法官与布克尔办公室之间几乎没有独立性。
The Human Rights Watch report added that prosecutors and judges have little, if any, independence from Mr. Bukele’s office.
