马尔代夫前外交部长阿卜杜拉·沙希德于周一深夜因涉嫌性侵未成年人被捕。据马尔代夫警方通报，现年64岁、目前领导反对党马尔代夫民主党（MDP）的沙希德于当地时间晚上9时59分依据法院命令被拘留。警方表示，他正因涉及一名18岁以下人员的性侵指控接受调查。沙希德被捕之际，正值马尔代夫民主党备战2028年总统选举的关键时刻，这位前外长正积极争取该党提名。
Former Maldivian foreign minister Abdulla Shahid was arrested late Monday night on charges of sexually abusing a minor. Shahid, 64, who currently heads the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), was taken into custody at 9.59 pm local time under a court order, according to the Maldives Police Service. The police said he was being investigated over allegations of sexual abuse involving a person under the age of 18. Shahid's arrest comes at a crucial juncture in the MDP's preparations for the 2028 presidential election, with the former foreign minister actively campaigning for the party's nomination.
根据警方以迪维希语发布的声明，沙希德是依据警方条例第18条、根据在马累执行的法院逮捕令被捕的。据当地媒体报道，多名警察仍部署在沙希德位于胡鲁马累的住所外，他正是从那里被带走的。警方尚未公开披露有关指控的更多细节。预计随后将就其还押和羁押事宜进行进一步的法庭程序。被捕前发生了什么？此次逮捕发生前不久，沙希德在社交媒体上发表公开声明，呼吁人们不要传播关于他的未经证实的说法。
According to the police statement issued in Dhivehi, Shahid was arrested under Section 18 of police regulations pursuant to a court warrant executed in Male. Acceding to local media, several police officers remained deployed outside Shahid's residence in Hulhumale, from where he was taken into custody. Police have not publicly disclosed further details of the allegations. Further court proceedings concerning his remand and custody are expected to follow.WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE HIS ARREST? The arrest came shortly after Shahid made a public statement on social media, appealing to people not to circulate unverified claims about him.
这位前外长驳斥了他所称的诽谤性指控，坚称针对他流传的说法不实。他还敦促人们不要散布谣言。在被捕前不久发布于X上的一篇帖子中，沙希德谈到有必要审查马尔代夫政府对旅游业的补贴。“向马尔代夫旅游业提供补贴的政策应当予以审查。
The former foreign minister had rejected what he described as defamatory allegations, maintaining that the claims being circulated against him were untrue. He also urged people to refrain from spreading rumours. In a post on X shortly before his arrest, Shahid wrote about the need to review government subsidies for the tourism sector in the Maldives." The policy of providing subsidies to the tourism sector in the Maldives should be reviewed.
他写道：“这种补贴对贫困人口毫无益处。”阿卜杜拉·沙希德是谁？沙希德是马尔代夫最知名的政治人物和外交官之一，曾在马尔代夫政府和国际机构中担任多个高级职务。2018年至2023年，他在马尔代夫民主党政府执政期间担任马尔代夫外交部长。在任期间，他成为该国在国际舞台上最知名的外交代表之一。2021年，沙希德当选为联合国大会第76届会议主席，任期为2021年9月至2022年9月。
This type of subsidy does not benefit the poor people in any way," he wrote.WHO IS ABDULLA SHAHID? Shahid is among the Maldives' most prominent political figures and diplomats, having held several senior positions in the country's government and international institutions. He served as the Maldives' foreign minister between 2018 and 2023 under the MDP administration. During his tenure, he became one of the country's most recognisable diplomatic representatives on the international stage. In 2021, Shahid was elected president of the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), serving in the position from September 2021 to September 2022.
他当选这一要职是马尔代夫的一项重大外交成就，使这个印度洋小国在国际事务中发挥了重要作用。在担任外交部长之前，沙希德于2009年至2014年担任马尔代夫议会人民议会议长。
His election to the prestigious post was a significant diplomatic achievement for the Maldives, giving the small Indian Ocean nation a prominent role in international affairs. Before becoming foreign minister, Shahid served as Speaker of the People's Majlis, the Maldivian Parliament, from 2009 to 2014.
在马尔代夫民主党（MDP）于2023年总统选举中落败后，沙希德继续领导该党，该党成为该国主要的反对力量。今年早些时候，他宣布有意角逐马尔代夫民主党2028年选举的总统候选人提名，这使他处于该党政治筹备工作的中心。他的被捕如今可能使该反对党的领导人角逐及其对下届总统选举的准备工作变得更加复杂。
Following the MDP's defeat in the 2023 presidential election, Shahid went on to lead the party, which became the country's principal opposition force. Earlier this year, he announced his intention to contest for the MDP's presidential ticket for the 2028 election, placing him at the centre of the party's political preparations. His arrest could now complicate the opposition party's leadership contest and its preparations for the next presidential race.SHAHID HAD WARNED MUIZZU AGAINST ANTI-INDIA POLITICSThe arrest also comes against the backdrop of an increasingly heated debate in the Maldives over President Mohamed Muizzu's foreign policy, particularly his growing engagement with Pakistan and its potential implications for relations with India.
沙希德曾警告穆伊祖不要搞反印政治此次逮捕的背景是，马尔代夫国内围绕总统穆罕默德·穆伊祖的外交政策——尤其是其日益加强与巴基斯坦的往来及其对印关系的潜在影响——的辩论日趋激烈。沙希德近日批评了穆伊祖向伊斯兰堡示好的举动，警告称这位马尔代夫总统可能重启反印运动，而正是那场运动在2023年助其上台执政。
Shahid had recently criticised Muizzu's outreach to Islamabad, warning that the Maldivian president could revive the anti-India campaign that helped propel him to power in 2023.
这场争议在穆伊祖于10月20日至22日进行11年来首次访问巴基斯坦后进一步升温。此次为期三天的访问恰逢两国建交60周年，引发了反对派领导人的批评，他们担忧与伊斯兰堡加强关系带来的战略影响。当时正为争取马尔代夫民主党总统候选人提名而奔走的沙希德指责穆伊祖正准备发起又一场反印运动，类似2023年选举期间所见的那场运动。
The controversy intensified after Muizzu undertook his first visit to Pakistan in 11 years between October 20 and 22. The three-day trip, which coincided with the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, triggered criticism from opposition leaders concerned about the strategic implications of closer ties with Islamabad. Shahid, who was campaigning for the MDP's presidential nomination, accused Muizzu of preparing to launch another anti-India campaign, similar to the one witnessed during the 2023 election.
穆伊祖访问巴基斯坦期间达成了20项谅解备忘录，涵盖医疗、教育、贸易、农业、网络安全、国防和海上安全等多个领域。
