该组织称指控“不公正”,并表示这些武器原本用于打击黎巴嫩南部的以色列军队。
Group calls charges ‘unjust’, says weapons were meant to be used against Israeli forces in south Lebanon.
黎巴嫩国家媒体报道称,一名黎巴嫩军事法庭于周五起诉了13名据称与真主党有关联的人员,罪名是走私爆炸物。目前,这个受伊朗支持的组织正面临着日益增大的解除武装的压力。
A Lebanese military court has charged 13 people it says are linked to Hezbollah with trafficking explosives, amid growing pressure on the Iran-backed group to disarm. The individuals were charged on Friday with offences including possessing weapons, undermining state security and forming illegal associations, Lebanese state media reported.
这些指控源于本月早些时候在连接首都贝鲁特和东部贝卡谷地的达尔拜达尔(Dahr al-Baydar)检查站查获的一辆载有爆炸物的卡车。
The charges stem from the seizure earlier this month of a truck transporting explosives at Dahr al-Baydar checkpoint, which links the capital, Beirut, to the eastern Bekaa Valley.
司法官员表示,该车当时载有780公斤(1720磅)爆炸物,其中包括250公斤(550磅)TNT和250公斤(550磅)C-4塑胶炸药。
The vehicle had been carrying 780kg (1,720 pounds) of explosives, including 250kg (550 pounds) of TNT and 250kg (550 pounds) of C-4 plastic explosives, according to judicial officials.
在这次查获行动中有两人被捕,而另外11名被起诉的人员仍然在逃。其中5人仅被通过绰号识别,因为他们的真实姓名不详。
Two people were arrested during the seizure, while the 11 others charged remain at large. Five have been identified only by nicknames because their real names are unknown.
真主党承认拥有被查获的爆炸物,并表示这些爆炸物原本打算用于对抗继续占领黎巴嫩南部大片领土的以色列。该组织称,其已要求黎巴嫩当局归还这批货物并释放两名被扣押人员,并称针对他们的指控是“不公正的”。
Hezbollah has acknowledged owning the seized explosives, saying they were intended for use against Israel, which continues to occupy large parts of southern Lebanon. It said it had asked Lebanese authorities to return the shipment and release the two detainees, calling the charges against them “unjust”.
真主党国会议员侯赛因·哈吉·哈桑(Hussein Hajj Hassan)表示,被起诉的人“没有损害国家安全或完整,而是对抗了威胁黎巴嫩生存的以色列敌人”。
Those charged “did not undermine the security or integrity of the state, but rather confronted the Israeli enemy that threatens Lebanon’s existence,” said Hezbollah Member of Parliament Hussein Hajj Hassan.
真主党的政治对手担心走私的爆炸物会被用来对付该组织的反对者,尽管调查人员尚未确定被查获的这批货物是用于此类袭击。
Hezbollah’s political opponents fear that smuggled explosives will be turned against the group’s detractors, although investigators have not established that the seized shipment was intended for such an attack.
此案发生之际,与以色列打过两次连续战争并面临贝鲁特当局解除其军事翼武装压力的真主党正承受着越来越大的压力。
The case comes as pressure mounts on Hezbollah, which has fought two successive wars with Israel and faces a push from authorities in Beirut, to disarm its military wing.
*今年6月,黎巴嫩和以色列签署了一项框架协议,设想以色列逐步撤出其在黎巴嫩南部占领的地区,这与真主党解除武装以及黎巴嫩军队部署到南部挂钩。
In June, Lebanon and Israel signed a framework agreement which envisaged Israel’s gradual withdrawal from the areas it occupies in southern Lebanon, tied to Hezbollah’s disarmament, as well as the deployment of the Lebanese army to the south.
但真主党一再拒绝解除武装的呼吁,该组织领导人纳伊姆·卡西姆将黎以协议斥为“无效”。
But Hezbollah has repeatedly rejected calls to disarm, and the group’s chief, Naim Qassem, has dismissed the Lebanon-Israel agreement as “null and void”.
黎巴嫩总理纳瓦夫·萨拉姆承诺,国家当局将“以必要的坚定态度处理合法框架之外的武器”。
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has promised state authorities “will deal with weapons outside the legal framework with the required firmness”.
尽管签署了最近的框架协议,以色列仍继续在黎巴嫩南部发动袭击,并系统性地拆除了其占领的数十个村庄中的房屋和基础设施。
Despite its recent framework agreement, Israel has continued carrying out attacks in southern Lebanon and systematically demolishing homes and infrastructure in dozens of villages it occupies.
