德国一家法院周二裁定,被定罪的新纳粹恐怖分子贝亚特·切佩必须至少服刑至2035年,驳回了她提前获释的申请。
A German court ruled Tuesday that convicted neo-Nazi terrorist Beate Zschape must remain in prison until at least 2035, rejecting her bid for early release.
据德国新闻社DPA报道,慕尼黑高等地方法院将她的最低羁押期限定为24年,并拒绝缓期执行其终身监禁的剩余刑期。
The Munich Higher Regional Court set her minimum detention period at 24 years and declined to suspend the remainder of her life sentence on probation, German news agency DPA reported.
现年51岁的切佩是极右翼恐怖组织“国家社会主义地下组织”(NSU)的核心成员。该组织在2000年至2007年间杀害了10人,其中包括8名土耳其移民、1名希腊公民和1名德国女警察。2018年,她因参与该组织的罪行被判处终身监禁。
Zschape, 51, was a key member of the far-right terrorist group National Socialist Underground (NSU), which murdered 10 people between 2000 and 2007, including eight Turkish immigrants, a Greek citizen and a German policewoman. She was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2018 for her involvement in the group's crimes.
去年,切佩申请加入EXIT康复项目,该项目旨在帮助个人脱离极右翼极端主义,她希望借此获得提前释放。
Last year, Zschape applied to the EXIT rehabilitation program, which helps individuals disengage from far-right extremism, in an effort to secure early release.
NSU受害者的家属强烈反对释放她,认为她没有表现出真正的悔意,并拒绝向调查人员提供有关谋杀案、该组织更广泛的支持网络或与情报线人和安全官员可能存在的联系的信息。
Relatives of the NSU victims strongly opposed her release, arguing that she had shown no genuine remorse and had refused to provide investigators with information about the murders, the group's wider support network or possible links to intelligence informants and security officials.
NSU的种族主义谋杀 NSU于2000年至2007年间在德国各地实施了一系列出于种族动机的杀人、爆炸和抢劫。
NSU's racist murders The NSU carried out a series of racially motivated killings, bombings and robberies across Germany between 2000 and 2007.
该组织的存在及其对谋杀案的责任于2011年11月4日曝光,当时其两名成员乌韦·蒙德洛斯和乌韦·伯恩哈特在一次银行抢劫失败后自杀身亡。调查人员随后发现的证据将该组织与这些杀人案联系起来。
The group's existence and responsibility for the murders came to light on Nov. 4, 2011, when two of its members, Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Bohnhardt, died by suicide following a failed bank robbery. Evidence subsequently uncovered by investigators linked the group to the killings.
多年来,德国警方和情报机构在很大程度上排除了种族主义动机的可能性,转而调查受害者家属以及他们与有组织犯罪和毒品贩运的所谓关联。
For years, German police and intelligence agencies had largely dismissed possible racist motives, instead investigating victims' families and alleged connections to organized crime and drug trafficking.
媒体调查后来揭露,德国国内情报机构联邦宪法保卫局(BfV)及其地区分支机构拥有众多曾与NSU嫌疑人有过接触的线人。
Media investigations later revealed that Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), and its regional branches had numerous informants with past contacts with NSU suspects.
然而,当局坚称他们事先并不知道该恐怖小组的存在,也不知道其参与了这些谋杀。
Authorities, however, maintained that they had no prior knowledge of the terror cell's existence or its involvement in the murders.
这起丑闻引发了全国范围内关于制度性种族主义以及德国安全和情报部门失职的辩论,这些部门因低估极右翼极端主义的威胁而受到批评。
The scandal sparked a nationwide debate over institutional racism and failures within Germany's security and intelligence services, which faced criticism for underestimating the threat of far-right extremism.
