意大利法官释放涉嫌煽动暴力抗议男子 梅洛尼勃然大怒米兰,10月28日电 一名意大利法官下令释放一名大学研究人员,该人员被警方指控协助策划本月的暴力抗议活动,此举激怒了总理焦尔吉娅·梅洛尼,她谴责该决定“令人羞耻”。
Meloni furious as Italian judge frees man accused of inciting violent protests MILAN, Oct 28 - An Italian judge has ordered the release of a university researcher accused by police of helping orchestrate violent protests this month, infuriating Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who denounced the decision as "shameful".
30岁的意大利自由记者、地缘政治学毕业生尤瑟夫·西赫尔(Youssef Siher尔,摩洛哥裔)于10月24日被米兰检方以煽动犯罪罪名拘留,并被指控加重情节为涉嫌恐怖主义目的。
Youssef Siher, a 30-year-old Italian freelance journalist and geopolitics graduate of Moroccan origin, was detained by Milan prosecutors on October 24 on charges of incitement to commit crimes, aggravated by alleged terrorist purposes.
但在对检方将其描绘为危险激进分子的指控提出尖锐驳斥时,米兰法官蒂齐亚娜·兰多尼(Tiziana Landoni)表示,调查似乎存在严重缺陷。
But in a sharp rebuke to prosecutors who had portrayed him as a dangerous militant, Milan judge Tiziana Landoni said the investigation appeared deeply flawed.
兰多尼在裁决书中写道:“没有严重理由相信(西赫尔)实施了其被指控的罪行,也不存在逃跑风险。”
"There are no serious grounds for believing that (Siher) committed the offences with which he has been charged, nor is there a risk of flight," Landoni wrote in her ruling.
西赫尔本人始终否认有任何不法行为。检方未立即置评,但梅洛尼迅速谴责了该决定。
Siher himself always denied any wrongdoing. Prosecutors did not immediately comment, but Meloni was swift to denounce the decision.
她在社交媒体发布的视频中说:“我认为这是对警方和调查人员工作难以忍受的羞辱。”
"I think this is an unbearable humiliation of the work of the police and investigators," she said in a video posted on social media.
她补充道:“面对司法界某些部门的这些决定,一个正常的国家真的不知道如何保护正直的人。”
"I really don't know how a normal state can defend decent people in the face of these decisions by certain sections of the judiciary," she added.
据意大利警方认定,西赫尔是Telegram群组“10月17日运动”的管理员,该群组是在米兰发生暴力抗议后建立的。
Italian police had identified Siher as the administrator of the Telegram group "October 17 Movement", which was created following violent protests in Milan.
根据拘留令,西赫尔发布了调查人员所谓的“颠覆性内容”,并呼吁抗议者于10月24日聚集,旨在实施扰乱公共秩序的犯罪。
According to the detention order, Siher published what investigators described as "subversive content" and messages calling on protesters to gather on October 24 with the aim of carrying out offences against public order.
然而,兰多尼表示,此类评论是由其他群组成员发布的,而非西赫尔本人。她写道:“未发现西赫尔曾鼓励或以任何方式支持那些用户主张的暴力行动。”
However, Landoni said such comments were posted by other group members, not Siher himself. "Siher was not found to have encouraged or in any way supported the violent actions advocated by those users," she wrote.
此案引人注目,因为检方援引了梅洛尼政府本月颁布的一项安全法令中新设立的罪名,这是其最新“严打”治安行动的一部分。
The case is notable because prosecutors cited a new offence introduced under a security decree enacted by Meloni's government this month as part of its latest law-and-order crackdown.
新定义的罪行规定,对于在参加公共示威活动时危害公共安全或造成损害的团体组织者,处以四年至十二年有期徒刑。
The newly defined crime carries prison terms of between four and 12 years for organisers of groups that, while taking part in public demonstrations, endanger public safety or cause damage.
西耶尔的被捕在法律界观察人士和意大利律师协会成员中引发了担忧。
Siher's arrest has sparked concern among legal observers and members of the Italian Bar Association.
批评者还质疑该案受到的大量媒体报道,一些意大利报纸将他描绘为有罪,并披露了关于他生活和家庭的详细情况。
Critics also questioned the extensive media coverage of the case, with some Italian newspapers portraying him as guilty and revealing detailed descriptions of his life and family.
