根据印度“Cockroach Janta Party”（蟑螂人民党）的法律负责人透露，该党两名被关押的领导人预计将于周日获释。目前，新德里因选民名单修订问题而持续紧张，警方设置了路障并加强了安保措施。
Two jailed leaders of India’s Cockroach Janta Party are expected to be released Sunday, according to its legal head, as police barricades and a heavy security presence underscore continuing tensions in New Delhi over a contentious voter-roll revision. By Asmi Bhatia and Akriti Sharma Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were sent to five days of judicial custody earlier this week after allegedly crossing police barricades to enter a restricted area.
本周早些时候，阿克里蒂·夏尔玛（Akriti Sharma）和阿舒托什·兰卡（Ashutosh Ranka）因被指控闯过警方设置的路障进入禁区而被关押五天。该党法律负责人拉特纳·辛格（Ratna Singh）在周六对记者表示，他们的释放手续已经全部完成，该党正在等待官方的正式批准。
All procedures for their release have now been completed and the group is awaiting formal approval, CJP’s Ratna Singh told reporters on Saturday. “There are certain procedural reasons causing the delay in their case, but we are fully confident that justice will prevail and they will be out” by Sunday, Singh said.
辛格说：“他们的案件出现延迟是由于一些程序性问题，但我们完全相信正义终将得到伸张，他们会在周日获释。我们的宗旨始终是鼓励人们以和平的方式参与政治活动，无论是集体还是个人。他们没有做任何错事。”周六晚些时候，该党在社交媒体平台上表示已咨询了资深律师卡皮尔·西巴尔（Kapil Sibal），并警告称如果兰卡和阿舒托什不能在周日获释，该党将采取法律行动，因为他们虽然未被正式起诉，但却被非法关押。
“Our intent has always been that people participate peacefully, whether in groups or individually. They did nothing wrong.”In a post on X late Saturday, CJP said it has consulted senior lawyer Kapil Sibal and would take legal action if Das and Ranka weren’t released by Sunday, alleging they were being unlawfully held despite not being charged with an offense.
这些抗议活动也蔓延到了海外。知名YouTube博主德鲁夫·拉蒂（Dhruv Rathee）在社交媒体上发布了一段视频，记录了他在伦敦议会广场与数百名抗议者的对话。据当地媒体报道，学生团体也在周五在伦敦印度高级专员公署外举行了抗议活动；与此同时，总理莫迪的支持者在同一地点举行了反对抗议活动。
The protests are also spreading overseas. Famous YouTuber Dhruv Rathee posted a video on X of him speaking to hundreds of people at a demonstration in London’s Parliament Square on Saturday. Student groups had also held a separate protest outside the Indian High Commission in London on Friday, where supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi staged a counter-demonstration, according to local media reports.
在国内，抗议活动仍在继续。由多个农民组织组成的“Samyukt Kisan Morcha”联盟已呼吁农民们在10月23日在各地区及次级行政区域举行抗议活动。
At home, the demonstrations are set to continue. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha, a coalition of farmers’ organizations, has called for demonstrations at district and subdistrict levels on Oct. 23.
印度国民大会党已获得警方许可，将于11月1日在新德里举行集会，Press Trust of India报道。莫迪的对手分别就选民名册修订举行抗议，并要求调查据称存在的不规正现象。
The opposition Indian National Congress has received police permission to hold a rally in Delhi on Nov. 1, the Press Trust of India reported. Modi’s rivals have separately staged protests over the voter-roll revision and demanded an investigation into alleged irregularities.
在印度强劲增长故事面临日益加剧压力之际，政治紧张局势正在升温。该国仍是全球增长最快的主要经济体，但卢比走弱、外资外流和通胀上升加剧了莫迪政府面临的挑战。
Political tensions are rising at a time when India’s strong growth story faces mounting pressure. The country remains the world’s fastest-growing major economy, but a weak rupee, foreign investment outflows and rising inflation are adding to the challenges facing Modi’s government.
他未公开发表对最新抗议的评论，尽管巴拉特民族党高级成员为选举委员会辩护。
He hasn’t publicly commented on the latest protests, though senior members of Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party have defended the Election Commission.
选举委员会驳斥了不当行为的指控，但近期在广泛批评后对流程做了一些改动。
The poll body has rejected allegations of wrongdoing, though it recently madesome changes to the process following widespread criticism.
上个月，它放宽了一些选民核实要求，延长了在新德里和马哈拉施特拉邦挑战被排除在外的选民截止日期，并成立一个小组审查其选民登记软件。它甚至同意在内部关于该项工作的分歧报告后公布会议记录。
Last month, it eased some voter-verification requirements, extended deadlines for voters to challenge their exclusions in Delhi and Maharashtra, and established a panel to review its voter-registration software. It even agreed to publish minutes of meetings following reports of internal disagreements over the exercise.
选举委员会还表示，被遗漏在选民名册上的人可以通过持续更新流程申请补入。
The poll body also said people left off voter rolls could apply for inclusion through the continuous updating process.
