Parliament in Bangladesh has passed a law allowing the state to appeal against any verdict from a special war crime’s tribunal. The move could lead to harsher sentences. It follows nearly two weeks of mass protests calling for the death penalty for those convicted of crimes against humanity during the war of independence from Pakistan in 1971. Anbarasan Ethirajan reports.
孟加拉国议会通过一项法律，允许政府对特别战争罪法庭的判决进行上诉。此举可能导致更严厉的判决，此前，该国发生为期两周的大规模抗议，要求对在1971年脱离巴基斯坦的独立战争中犯下反人道罪的犯人实行死刑。Anbarasan Ethirajan报道。
Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in a busy intersection1 of Dhaka burst into cheers after the Bangladeshi parliament approved changes to the existing law. The government can now appeal against verdicts at the international crimes tribunal set up in 2010 to try those Bangladeshis accused of collaborating2 with Pakistani forces and committing atrocities3 during the war for independence. Critics say the provision is aimed at the Jamaat-e-Islami which opposed to Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan.
就在孟加拉国议会批准改变现存法律后，在达卡一处繁忙的十字路口，成千上万抗议者欢呼起来。2010年，为审判被控在独立战争期间勾结巴基斯坦军队并犯下暴行的孟加拉国人，就成立了国际犯罪法庭，目前政府可以就该法庭的判决进行上诉。批评者称该规定是针对伊斯兰大会党，该党反对孟加拉国从巴基斯坦独立出来。
Gunmen in the Nigerian state of Bauchi have abducted4 seven foreign workers in the biggest kidnapping in northern Nigeria in recent times. Italian, Filipino, British, Greek and Lebanese workers are said to be among those abducted at the Lebanese-owned Setraco Construction Company in the town of Jama’re. Caroline Hawley reports.
尼日利亚包奇州武装分子绑架了7名外国工作人员，这是尼日利亚北部最近发生的最大规模的绑架案。据悉被绑架者中有意大利、菲律宾、英国、希腊和黎巴嫩工人，他们是在Jama’re镇黎巴嫩Setraco建筑公司被绑的。卡罗琳·霍利报道。
Nigerian police say the gunmen first attacked a police station and a prison before storming onto the construction company’s compound. A security guard was killed and the foreign workers who involved in the building of a road are reported to have been abducted from their accommodation. Northern Nigeria which is mainly Muslim is becoming increasingly dangerous with Islamist militants5 waging a campaign of bombings and shootings.
尼日利亚警方称武装分子先是袭击了一处警站和一所监狱，然后冲进这家建筑公司院内。据悉一名保安被杀，参与建筑一条道路的外国工人被从住处绑架走。尼日利亚北部主要为穆斯林社区，这里最近越发危险，伊斯兰武装分子最近开始系列爆炸和射击活动。
A highest court of appeal in Iran has confirmed death sentences passed on four men in the country’s biggest ever case of banking6 fraud. A spokesman said a fifth man had also lost his appeal against a life sentence. Castro Naji reports.
伊朗一家最高上诉法庭对涉入该国迄今最大规模银行诈骗案的四名男子实行死刑。发言人称第五名男子对终身监禁上诉失败。Castro Naji报道。
There is no mention of the names of the men or when they are going to be executed. The four are among dozens of men who are accused of involvement in a series of banking frauds. The case is the biggest in the history of Iran, worth billions of dollars. The case is also a major embarrassment7 for the Islamist state as many of the accused are government officials.
法庭并没有提及罪犯的名字，也没有透露何时行刑。被控涉入系列银行诈骗案的共有数十人，该案件是伊朗历史上最大规模的诈骗案，价值数十亿美元。这件案子对这个伊斯兰国家来说也很难堪，因为嫌犯多为政府官员。

The international envoy11 to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi has said peace talks should start on United Nations premises12 between the opposition13 and what he described as an acceptable delegation14 from the Syrian government. His remarks follow an offer by the opposition Syrian National Coalition15 to hold talks with any government representative not directly involved in repression16. Mr. Brahimi said the offer challenged the Syrian government to live up to its claim that it was ready for dialogue and a peaceful solution.
驻叙利亚国际特使拉赫达尔·卜拉希米说，应该在联合国进行和平谈判，参加者是反对派，以及所谓来自叙利亚政府的“可以接受的代表团”。此前，叙利亚反对派全国联盟提出愿与任何不直接参与镇压的政府代表进行对话。卜拉希米说，该提议使得叙利亚政府只得努力履行此前表示的愿意随时采取对话和和平途径的承诺。
The center-right candidate in Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades has won just over 45% of the votes in the presidential election. Since he failed to get an absolute majority, he will face his left-wing rival Stavros Malas in the run-off next week. Mark Lowen reports.
塞浦路斯中间偏右派候选人Nicos Anastasiades在总统选举中只获得45%的支持率。自未能获得绝对多数支持后，他就要在下周的决胜选举中与左翼对手Stavros Malas对决。马克·劳文报道。
The exit polls had suggested an outright17 majority but in fact the conservative Nicos Anastasiades failed just short. He will now face a run-off which he is expected to win. If he does, his task will be daunting18 to finalize19 a 17-billion Euro bailout with the EU and IMF in return for deep spending cuts after the Greek crisis had a knock-on effect in Cyprus. Whoever takes over will also be expected to restart talks with a Turkish-Cypriot community in the north and overcome the island’s four-decade long division.
尽管民调显示Anastasiades会获得绝对多数支持，但保守的他未能如愿。如今他要面临一场决选，这次他有望胜出。一旦胜出，他的任务就非常艰巨，他要与欧盟和国际货币基金组织最终敲定一笔170亿美元的欧元救助资金，然后以大幅度开支削减作为回报，此前希腊危机对塞浦路斯造成了严重影响。无论谁胜出，都要重启与北部土耳其-塞浦路斯社区的对话，并克服这个岛国长达四十年的分裂。
