卡西姆·阿卜杜勒-扎赫拉、艾比·塞维尔 巴格达——一名伊拉克高级安全官员于周三表示，伊拉克已经拒绝了叙利亚提出的遣返数千名疑似伊斯兰国成员的要求，这批人员于今年早些时候从叙利亚羁押中心移交给伊拉克关押。
QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA, ABBY SEWELL BAGHDAD — Iraq has rejected Syria’s request to repatriate thousands of suspected Islamic State members transferred from Syrian detention centers to Iraqi custody earlier this year, a senior Iraqi security official said on Wednesday.
伊拉克国家安全顾问卡西姆·阿尔-阿布迪表示，叙利亚、伊拉克和美国最近举行了一次会议，讨论这些囚犯的命运。
Iraqi National Security Advisor Qasim al-Aboudi said that a meeting had been held recently between Syria, Iraq and the United States to discuss the fate of the prisoners.
阿尔-阿布迪称，叙利亚曾请求将这4000名叙利亚籍囚犯移交给叙利亚进行审判，但遭到伊拉克拒绝。他告诉美联社，伊拉克已经遣返了约50名经确认为非伊斯兰国成员的叙利亚被扣押人员，而目前仍留在伊拉克的叙利亚囚犯中，大约有400人被认为是该极端组织的高级成员。
Al-Aboudi said Syria had requested that the 4,000 Syrian prisoners be handed over to be tried in Syria, but Iraq refused. Iraq has repatriated about 50 Syrian detainees who were determined not to be IS members, he told The Associated Press, while the Syrian prisoners remaining in Iraq include about 400 who are believed to be high-level members of the extremist group.
他说：“伊拉克正在进行调查，任何被证明在伊拉克犯下罪行的人都将根据伊拉克法律接受审判。”
“Iraq is conducting investigations, and anyone proved to have committed crimes in Iraq will be tried under Iraqi law,” he said.
他还表示，一些囚犯在未来可能会被移交给他们的原籍国以完成刑期。叙利亚没有立即回应置评请求。
Some prisoners could later be transferred to their home countries to complete their sentences, he said. Syria did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
1月份叙利亚政府军与长期看守羁押中心的库尔德武装主导的“叙利亚民主军”爆发战斗后，有5700多名涉嫌与伊斯兰国有关联的囚犯——其中包括大约4000名叙利亚人——从叙利亚东北部转移到了伊拉克。
More than 5,700 prisoners with alleged IS ties — including some 4,000 Syrians — were transferred from northeast Syria to Iraq after fighting broke out in January between Syrian government forces and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which had long guarded the detention centers where they were held.
在冲突的混乱中，一些与伊斯兰国有关的囚犯设法逃脱，人们曾担心会发生更大规模的越狱。虽然该极端组织多年前就已失去了对伊拉克和叙利亚昔日控制领土的控制权，但其残余分子仍定期在这两个国家发动袭击。
Some IS-linked prisoners managed to flee during the chaos of the clashes, and there were fears that a larger-scale escape would take place. While the extremist group lost control of the territory it once seized in Iraq and Syria years ago, its cells still periodically carry out attacks in both countries.
在讨论这些囚犯命运之际，美国已结束了在伊拉克打击伊斯兰国长达12年的使命，最后一批美军已于上个月从该国撤出。
The discussions about the prisoners’ fate come as the United States has ended a 12-year mission to fight IS in Iraq, with the last U.S. troops withdrawing from the country last month.
阿尔·阿布迪表示，伊拉克已要求美国及其他参与打击“伊斯兰国”全球联盟的国家提供财政支持，以帮助承担关押这些囚犯的费用。
Al-Aboudi said Iraq has asked for financial support from the U.S. and other countries taking part in the global coalition against IS to help with the costs of housing the prisoners.
“伊拉克要求拨款5亿美元。联盟承诺予以支持，但伊拉克仍在等待，”他说。
“Iraq asked for an allocation of $500 million. The coalition promised support, but Iraq is still waiting,” he said.
一名美国国防官员以及美国叙利亚和伊拉克事务特使汤姆·巴拉克办公室将有关这些囚犯的问题转交给伊拉克和叙利亚当局。
A U.S. defense official and the office of Tom Barrack, the U.S. envoy to Syria and Iraq, referred questions about the prisoners to Iraqi and Syrian authorities.
许多被移交给伊拉克的囚犯此前在叙利亚被关押多年且未经指控。人权组织对两国境内的拘留条件表示担忧。
Many of the prisoners transferred to Iraq had been held in Syria for years without charges. Rights groups have raised concerns about detention conditions in both countries.
人权组织“人权观察”在本周的一份报告中表示，“伊拉克司法系统有着记录在案的酷刑和非法处决历史。”该组织敦促伊拉克当局“遵守国际公正审判和拘留标准”并废除死刑。
Human Rights Watch said in a report this week that “the Iraqi justice system has a documented history of torture and unlawful executions.”It urged Iraqi authorities to “adhere to international fair trial and detention standards” and abolish the death penalty.
阿尔·阿布迪表示，来自不执行死刑的国家的囚犯将不会面临死刑。
Al-Aboudi said prisoners from countries that do not enforce capital punishment would not face the death penalty.
他说，对于来自与伊拉克签有引渡或换囚协议的国家的囚犯，在定罪后可以被遣返回国服刑。
Those from countries with prisoner exchange agreements with Iraq could be transferred home to complete their sentences after conviction, he said.
然而，许多西方国家一直不愿遣返被指控或被判与“伊斯兰国”有染的公民，以及被认为是武装分子家属的妇女和儿童。
Many Western countries, however, have been reluctant to repatriate citizens accused or convicted of IS ties, as well as women and children believed to be militants’ family members.
