约旦军方称，三名男子因上月在一座希腊东正教教堂发生的枪击案被捕，已被判处恐怖主义罪名成立，并被判处死刑。
3 Men Sentenced to Death Over Church Attack in Jordan The Jordanian military said that the men, who were arrested after a shooting at a Greek Orthodox church last month, had been convicted of terrorism charges.
约旦武装部队在一份声明中表示，约旦一家军事法院周日判处三名男子死刑，他们因与上月一起造成九人死亡的教堂袭击案有关而被定罪。
A military-run court in Jordan sentenced three men to death on Sunday after they were convicted in connection with an attack at a church last month that killed nine people, the Jordanian Armed Forces said in a statement.
那起发生在希腊东正教教堂的枪击案还导致约三十人受伤，是该国多年来最致命的武装袭击之一，约旦国王阿卜杜拉二世誓言将以“最严厉的报复”回应。据约旦军方称，这三名男子因违反反恐法律被判刑。他们被判犯有实施致命恐怖行为、持有武器弹药意图实施恐怖活动、以及宣扬恐怖组织思想等罪名。武装部队声明未点名该组织。军方声明指出，判决可上诉。
The shooting at a Greek Orthodox church, which also wounded about three dozen people, was one of the deadliest militant attacks in the country in years, and King Abdullah II vowed that it would be met with “the harshest retaliation.”The three men were sentenced after being convicted of violating antiterrorism laws, according to the Jordanian military. They were found guilty of carrying out deadly terrorist acts, possessing weapons and ammunition with the intent to commit terrorism, and promoting the ideas of a terrorist group. That group was not named in the armed forces statement. The sentences are subject to appeal, the military statement noted.
据称，这三名男子于10月下旬在约旦被捕，此前他们在南部卡尔克省一座废弃房屋的藏身处与安全部队发生枪战，该教堂袭击案即发生在卡尔克。卡尔克居住着规模可观的基督教社区。
The three men were arrested in late October in Jordan after a shootout with security forces during a predawn raid on their hide-out in an abandoned house in the southern province of Karak, where the church attack took place. Karak is home to a sizable Christian community.
阿卜杜拉国王在社交媒体上赞扬了此次抓捕行动。“任何宣扬分裂约旦人的黑暗意识形态都不会被容忍，”他写道。
King Abdullah praised the arrests on social media. “No proponent of dark ideologies that divide Jordanians will be tolerated,” he wrote.
约旦官员尚未说明教堂枪击案的动机。事发后不久，总理贾法尔·哈桑称这是“恐怖塔克菲里意识形态的结果”，使用了一个阿拉伯语短语，常用来描述宣称其他穆斯林为异教徒的伊斯兰极端分子。
Jordanian officials have not said what motivated the shooting at the church. Shortly afterward, Prime Minister Jafar Hassan said it was “the result of terrorist takfiri ideology,” using an Arabic phrase that often describes Islamist extremists who declare other Muslims heretics.
周日的判刑是在约旦为报复教堂袭击事件，对叙利亚南部“伊斯兰国”目标实施致命空袭几周后作出的，一名约旦政府发言人当时表示。约旦军方称其一直在“打击恐怖组织的藏身处”，但未点名任何具体组织。
The sentencing on Sunday came a weeks after Jordan retaliated for the church attack with deadly airstrikes on Islamic State targets in southern Syria, a Jordanian government spokesman said at the time. The Jordanian military said it had been “targeting hide-outs of terrorist organizations,” without naming any specific group.
据叙利亚民防救援机构称，叙利亚境内的空袭造成至少七名平民丧生，其中包括三名儿童，该袭击遭到叙利亚官员谴责。
The airstrikes in Syria killed at least seven civilians, including three children, according to the Syrian civil defense rescue service, and the attack was condemned by Syrian officials.
根据美国政府估计，穆斯林占约旦人口的97%以上，基督徒约占2%。该国宪法规定伊斯兰教为国教，但保障宗教信仰自由，并禁止因宗教理由进行歧视。约旦基督徒在议会中拥有保留席位，并长期担任内阁部长和大使。
Muslims make up more than 97 percent of the population in Jordan, and Christians make up about 2 percent, according to United States government estimates. The country’s Constitution declares Islam the state religion but safeguards the free exercise of religion and bars discrimination on religious grounds. Christian Jordanians are guaranteed seats in Parliament and have long served as cabinet ministers and ambassadors.
卡拉克的基督徒历史可追溯至1500多年前，至今当地仍有多座教堂。约旦还拥有重要的圣经相关和基督教朝圣地点，其中包括约旦河沿岸一处据称是耶稣受洗之地的圣地。
The Christian presence in Karak dates back more than 1,500 years, and there are multiple churches there to this day. Jordan also has important biblical and Christian pilgrimage sites, including one along the Jordan River where Jesus was said to have been baptized.
6月，约旦绞刑处决了六名因恐怖主义相关罪行或贩毒罪被判刑的男子。这些处决是在暂停执行死刑九年后进行的，遭到欧盟和人权组织谴责，包括死刑信息中心和人权观察。Raja Abdulrahim 参与了报道。
In June, Jordan hanged six men convicted of terrorism-related or drug-trafficking charges. The executions came after a nine-year hiatus in executions and were condemned by the European Union and human rights groups, including the Death Penalty Information Center and Human Rights Watch.
