巴基斯坦一家反恐法院因2024年板球巡回赛期间的一起指控安全违规事件,判处人权律师伊曼·马扎里(Imaan Mazari)及其丈夫哈迪·阿里·查塔(Hadi Ali Chattha)10年监禁。
A Pakistani anti-terrorism court has sentenced human rights lawyer Imaan Mazari and her husband Hadi Ali Chattha to 10 years in prison, over an alleged security breach during a cricket tour in 2024.
这对夫妇被指控在伊斯兰堡移除路障并阻碍警察执法——二人均否认这些指控。
The couple were accused of removing road barriers and obstructing police officers in Islamabad - charges that both have denied.
马扎里和查塔此前曾因批评军方的社交媒体发帖被判处最高17年监禁。
Mazari and Chattha were previously sentenced to up to 17 years in prison for social media posts criticising the military.
巴基斯坦最高法院曾在8月暂停了这些刑期,但警方在二人获释前将其重新逮捕。过去几个月里,他们一直被关押在拉瓦尔品第的阿迪亚拉监狱(Adiala Jail)中。
Pakistan's Supreme Court had suspended those sentences in August, but police re-arrested the couple before they could be released. They have been imprisoned in Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail for the past several months.
这起最新案件涉及2024年10月25日发生的一起事件,当时英格兰板球队正在巴基斯坦巡回比赛。
This latest case concerns an incident on 25 October 2024, when England's cricket team was touring Pakistan.
检方指控马扎里和查塔移除了指定给该队安全车队的道路上的路障,并在伊斯兰堡主要的三层立交路口零点(Zero Point)阻碍警察执行公务。
Prosecutors accused Mazari and Chattha of removing barriers from a road designated for the team's security convoy and obstructing police officers at Zero Point, a major cloverleaf road junction in Islamabad.
他们根据《反恐法》分别被判处10年监禁,并因阻碍公职人员及对公职人员使用武力而被判处额外的1年和2年徒刑。所有刑期将同时执行。
They were each sentenced to 10 years in prison under the Anti-Terrorism Act, as well as additional one-year and two-year terms for obstructing and using force against public servants. All sentences will run concurrently.
法院还对他们每人处以20万巴基斯坦卢比(合541英镑、723美元)的罚款。
The court also fined each of them 200,000 Pakistani Rupees (£541:$723).
在审判期间记录的陈述中,这对夫妇将自己描述为面临国家迫害的“良心犯”。
In statements recorded during the trial, the couple described themselves as "prisoners of conscience" who had faced state persecution.
查塔在向《黎明报》(Dawn News)发表的声明中说:“我受到惩罚不仅是因为支持我妻子的工作和激进主义活动,更是因为我们选择将这条抵抗不公的道路作为我们共同的人生旅程。”
"I am being punished for not only supporting my wife's work and activism, but for choosing this path of resisting injustice as our life journey together," Chatta said in his statement to Dawn News.
那些挺身而出(或想要挺身而出)反对暴政、压迫和不义之人,正在承受着愈发寒蝉效应的杀鸡儆猴之举。”
The couple had earlier said that they were "being made an example to further cement the chilling effect against those who stand (or want to stand) against tyranny, oppression, and injustice".
国际特赦组织(Amnesty International)对诉讼程序提出了批评,称这对夫妇被剥夺了公开和公正审判的权利。
Amnesty International has criticised the proceedings, saying the couple were denied an open and fair trial.
国际特赦组织地区人权影响高级主任亚斯敏·艾哈迈德(Yasmine Ahmed)说:“这些定罪是对巴基斯坦司法系统的控诉。”
"These convictions are an indictment of Pakistan's justice system." said Yasmine Ahmed, Amnesty International's Senior Director for Regional Human Rights Impact.
“伊曼和哈迪成为目标,纯粹是因为他们拒绝停止无所畏惧的人权工作,以及行使了言论自由和和平集会的权利。”该组织还对审判被移至监狱内进行表示关切,在听证会期间,马扎里和查塔被关押在一个类似牢笼的结构后面。这对夫妇在近几个月面临多起刑事案件。
"Imaan and Hadi are being targeted solely because of their refusal to stop their fearless human rights work and for exercising their right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly." The organisation also raised concerns that the trial had been moved inside the prison, where Mazari and Chattha were kept behind a cage-like structure during hearings. The couple have faced several criminal cases in recent months.
他们自1月23日以来一直被拘留,当时他们在另一起涉及伊斯兰堡高等法院外涉嫌斗殴的案件中被捕。一天后,他们因批评军方的社交媒体发帖,根据巴基斯坦的《预防电子犯罪法》被判处最高17年监禁。
They have been in custody since 23 January, when they were arrested in a separate case involving an alleged altercation outside the Islamabad High Court. A day later, they were sentenced to up to 17 years in prison under Pakistan's Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act over social media posts critical of the military.
巴基斯坦最高法院于9月17日暂停了这些刑期并准予他们保释——但他们在同一天因另一起涉及2025年3月一次抗议活动的案件再次被捕,在抗议活动中,他们被指控高喊“反政府口号”和“封锁道路”。
Pakistan's Supreme Court suspended those sentences and granted them bail on 17 September - but they were arrested again the same day in connection with a separate case over a protest in March 2025, in which they were accused of chanting "anti-government slogans" and "blocking roads".
马扎里和查塔是知名的人权律师,曾代理过遭受强迫失踪的活动人士、记者和边缘化群体。
Mazari and Chattha are prominent human rights lawyers who have represented activists, journalists and marginalised communities subjected to enforced disappearances.
马扎里的母亲希琳·马扎里(Shireen Mazari)是一名曾在前巴基斯坦总理伊姆兰·汗(Imran Khan)政府中任职的前人权部长。
Mazari's mother, Shireen Mazari, is a former human rights minister who served in the government of former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan.
这对夫妇被定罪长期以来一直招致国际人权组织的批评,这些组织对巴基斯坦律师和活动人士的待遇表示关切。
The couple's convictions have long drawn criticism from international human rights organisations, which have raised concerns about the treatment of lawyers and activists in Pakistan.
