Indonesia's Supreme¹ Court has sentenced a former pilot of the state-owned airline to 20 years in prison for killing² a prominent human rights activist³ in 2004.

印度尼西亚最高法院判处国有航空公司的一位前飞行员20年监禁，罪名是在2004年杀害一名著名的人权活动家。

The ex-pilot is Pollycarpus Pryianto. Indonesia's Supreme Court sentenced him Friday to 20 years in prison for poisoning Munir Said Thalib before Munir boarded a Garuda Airlines flight bound for Amsterdam in September 2004.

这位前飞行员叫波里卡普斯.普里安托。印度尼西亚最高法院星期五判处他20年监禁。他的罪名是在2004年9月，在著名的人权活动家姆尼尔登上飞往阿姆斯特丹的国有航空公司的航班飞机之前下毒药把他毒死。

Munir, who died on the flight, was an outspoken⁴ activist who gave legal advice to victims of human rights abuses under former president Suharto's brutal⁵ regime.

姆尼尔在飞行途中死亡。姆尼尔生前是直言不讳的人权活动家，给在前总统苏哈托暴政之下人权受到践踏的人提供法律咨询。

Pollycarpus was originally found guilty of the murder by a lower court, and sentenced to 14 years, but the conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2006. The conviction was reinstated after prosecutors⁶ filed new evidence last year suggesting that Pollycarpus served Munir a drink laced with poison at Singapore's Changi airport.

波里卡普斯先前已经被一家法院判定有罪，被判刑14年。但是，最高法院在2006年推翻了该判决。检察官去年提出新的证据，对他重新提出起诉。新的证据显示，波里卡普斯在新加坡国家机场向姆尼尔提供了掺有毒药的饮料。

John Muhammad of the Solidarity⁷ Action Committee for Munir says Friday's sentence is a good first step toward justice.

支持姆尼尔行动委员会的约翰.默罕默德说，最高法院星期五的判决是走向司法公正的第一步。

He says the decision by the Supreme Court is a basis to go forward. He says human rights activists⁸ now have the key to pursue further revelations in the Munir case.

他说，最高法院的判决是前进的基础。他说，人权活动人士现在可以以此为契机进一步追踪姆尼尔案件的有关情况。

John says evidence in the case has suggested links between Pollycarpus and the state intelligence agency.

约翰说，案情的有关证据显示，波里卡普斯跟国家情报部门有联系。

He says the Munir case is not only very important to human rights activists, but also for reformation in Indonesia, because it is an opportunity to clean up the intelligence service.

他说：“姆尼尔案件不仅进对人权活动人士具有重要意义，而且对印尼的改革也具有重要意义，因为它给清理印尼情报部门提供了一个机会。”

Also on Friday, Indonesian prosecutors said they will seek an 18-month jail sentence for the former head of Garuda Airlines for his role in the murder.

星期五，印尼检察官还表示将寻求判处印尼国家航空公司前负责人一年半监禁，因为他卷入有关的谋杀。
