In today's podcast, a court in Inner Mongolia reopens a rape¹ and murder case which ended 18 years ago amid continued outcry that the original verdict was unfair

在今天播报中，关于这起强奸杀人案在内蒙古法院重新开庭，这起案件在18年前已经宣判，然而最初的判罚引起了轩然大波。

The High Court in the northern region of Inner Mongolia said on November 20 that the 1996 case involving an ethnically² Mongolian man named Qoysiletu,

内蒙古高等法院在11月20日称1996年的这起案件将要重新审理，

who was found guilty of the crimes, will be reexamined. Qoysiletu, then 18, was convicted on May 23, 1996, for raping³ and killing⁴ a woman at a textile plant in Hohhot.

当时判定呼格吉勒有罪,1996年5月23日，18岁的呼格吉勒因在呼和浩特的纺织厂中奸杀一名女性而执行了死刑。

He insisted he was innocent, but was executed on June 10, 62 days after the murder.

他坚持自己是无罪的，但是还是在案件发生的62天后，6月10日执行了死刑判决。

Nine years later, the capture of a serial⁵ rapist and murderer, Zhao Zhihong, led many to believe that the sentencing of Qoysiletu was unjust.

9年之后，警方抓住了系列杀人，强奸犯赵志红，人们一致认为对呼格吉勒是不公正的。

Zhao confessed to a series of rapes⁶ and murders, including the 1996 one in Hohhot, putting Qoysiletu's case in the spotlight⁷ again.

赵坦白了一系列强奸和杀人案，包括1996年在呼和浩特的一起案件，这让呼格吉勒案件重新回到了人们的视野之中。

Although later official reviews concluded that Qoysiletu's conviction lacked evidence and was likely an injustice⁸, the case was never formally retried.

尽管之后官方称呼格吉勒的罪行缺少证据，并很有可能是一次不公正的判罚,但是并没有再一次进行审判。

Police got a confession⁹ from Qoysiletu after 48 hours of interrogation, and that became the basis of his conviction.

警方在抓获呼格吉勒的48小时之内拿到了他犯罪的证据，这也是他被判有罪的基础。

The reports said Qoysiletu, who worked a local cigarette factory, reported the case to police together with a colleague named Yan Feng.

报道称呼格吉勒曾经在当地的烟草工厂工作，他与一名叫作岩峰的同事一起报了案。

An investigator¹⁰ said Qoysiletu's case was not reopened sooner partly because of resistance from people involved in the initial investigation¹¹.

调查员称当时这起案件没有进行重新审理，部分原因是由于起初参与案件调查人员的抵制。
