严惩针对记者的暴力行为

There is a dangerous global trend in violence against journalists. Indeed, a growing number of journalists are being targeted by violent extremists and transnational criminal organizations, said the Spokesperson for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor1 Affairs at State Mario Crifo. Organizations such as Da'esh in Iraq and Syria, extremist militias2 in Libya, al-Shabaab in Somalia and Boko Haram in Nigeria have brutally3 attacked journalists who threaten to bring the truth of crimes and corruption4 to light.

现今,全球有一种针对记者的危险暴力趋势。越来越多的记者的确正在成为暴力极端分子和跨国犯罪组织的目标,美国负责民主、人权和劳工事务的发言人马里奥?克里弗如是说道。无论是伊拉克和叙利亚的伊斯兰国和利比亚的极端民兵组织,是索马里青年党,还是尼日利亚的博科圣地,均曾残忍袭击那些威胁要将其犯罪事实和腐败行为公之于众的记者。

The Committee to Protect Journalists, or CPJ, estimates that as many as 40 percent of crimes against journalists are committed by these kinds of groups and their supporters.

据保护记者委员会(CPJ)估计,针对记者的犯罪中,多达40%是上述组织及其拥护者所为。

One of those killed was Sami Jawdat Rabah. He was abducted5 in October 2015 by Da'esh fighters in Syria, brutalized, and later killed, with a video of his killing6 made available for the entire world to see. He was a reporter for the Syrian Observatory7 for Human Rights working to document the abuses of the Syrian regime and of Da'esh.

其中一名惨遭杀害的记者名为萨米?乔达特?拉巴赫。他于2015年10月遭到叙利亚伊斯兰国分子的绑架,在被杀前惨遭虐待,其被杀害的视频全球都可以看到。他是叙利亚人权观察组织的记者,其工作内容是记录叙利亚政权和伊斯兰国的暴行。

In June 2016, Sagal Salad Osman was attacked and gunned down in Somalia. She was a reporter with Somali National Television and Radio Mogadishu where she worked to give voice to Somali demands for an end to the violence there.

2016年6月,记者萨加尔?萨拉德?奥斯曼在索马里遭遇袭击并被枪杀。她是索马里国家电视台和摩加迪休电台的记者,她的工作是为要求结束暴行的索马里群众发声。

As President Barack Obama has said, “The world is a better and stronger place when individual conscience and a press that is free are allowed to function.”

正如奥巴马总统所言,“世界要想变得更好、更强,需要个人良知与自由媒体发挥各自的作用。”

In order to achieve that vision, the U.S. has made a major reinvestment in the Securing Access to Freedom of Expression Initiative. Dubbed8 SAFE, the initiative provides training in digital and physical security to journalists through regional centers to help them do their jobs while avoiding targeting.

为了实现这一愿景,美国已向保护言论自由行动再次做出重大投资。这个名为SAFE的行动通过地区分设的各个中心来向记者们提供数字安全和人身安全方面的培训,以助力记者们在工作过程中避免袭击。

In addition, each year the Department of State conducts an annual Free the Press campaign, which highlights the stories of journalists who have been imprisoned9 around the world and calls on governments to release them.

除此之外,每一年,国务院都会开展年度新闻自由活动,以突出全球各地遭遇囚禁的记者的故事,并呼吁各国政府将其释放。

 

The U.S. will continue to work to eliminate impunity10 for crimes against media professionals. Not only is that the right thing to do to secure justice for journalists and their families - it is essential to achieving the goal of a press that is free to report the truth.

美国将继续努力,以减少向记者施暴而逍遥法外的情况。这对于为记者及其亲属维护正义是正确的事情,对于实现媒体自由报道事实的目标也很重要。
