Former US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, jailed a year ago for
refusing to testify before a federal jury investigating WikiLeaks, has
attempted suicide ahead of a court hearing, her lawyers said.
一年前,前美國陸軍情報分析師切爾西‧曼寧(Chelsea Manning)因拒絕在調查維基解密
案的聯邦陪審團面前作證而被監禁。現在她的律師說,曼寧在法庭聽證會前曾試圖自殺。
Manning is in the hospital and recovering, Gizmodo reported on Wednesday
citing the imprisoned activist’s legal team. The 31-year-old reportedly used
a sheet to hang herself inside the Alexandria Detention Center in Virginia,
according to the Daily Mail. That report has not been officially confirmed.
吉茲莫多週三援引律師小組的報告表示,曼寧正住院康復中。 據《每日郵報》報導, 31
歲的曼寧在弗吉尼亞的亞歷山大拘留中心用一張床單上吊。 該報告尚未得到正式確認。
Manning has been locked up since March 2019, when she refused to appear
before the federal grand jury and testify against WikiLeaks. Judge Anthony
Trenga found the activist in contempt of court and ordered her jailed, later
adding a steep fine of $1,000 a day for non-compliance. The fines have piled
up to over $250,000 by now, which the destitute Manning has no way of paying.
曼寧從2019年3月起就被監禁,當時她拒絕在聯邦大陪審團前出庭對維基解密案作證。 安
東尼‧特倫加法官認為這名活動家藐視法庭,並下令將她監禁,後來又因她不遵守規定而
處以每天1,000美金的巨額罰款。 到目前為止,罰款已經累積到25萬美金以上,高到赤貧
的曼寧沒有辦法支付。
Judge Trenga was scheduled to hear Manning’s motion to end the sanctions on
Friday.
丁加法官定於週五聽取曼寧關於結束制裁的動議。
It would be the third time the former US Army intelligence analyst has tried
to take her own life while in prison. The previous two attempts happened in
2016, as Manning served a 35-year federal sentence for handing WikiLeaks a
trove of Pentagon and State Department documents related to the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars.
這是這位前美國陸軍情報分析員第三次試圖在監獄中自殺。 前兩次嘗試發生在2016年,
當時曼寧被判處35年聯邦徒刑,罪行為向維基解密提供了一份五角大樓和國務院的有關伊
拉克和阿富汗戰爭的文件。
That sentence was commuted by President Barack Obama at the end of his term,
and the free speech activist was released in May 2017, only to be jailed for
refusing the court summons in the WikiLeaks case.
這一判決在歐巴馬總統任期結束前減刑,這位言論自由活動家於2017年5月獲釋,但因拒
絕維基解密案的法庭傳票而再遭監禁。
“I would rather starve to death than to change my opinion in this regard.
And when I say that, I mean that quite literally," Manning told reporters in
May 2019.
“我寧願餓死也不願改變我在這方面的看法。” 曼寧在2019年5月接受記者採訪時說:“
當我這麼說的時候,我是認真的。”
A month earlier, WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange was hauled out of the
Ecuadorian embassy in London. He is currently awaiting the outcome of
extradition hearings on US charges of assisting Manning in hacking the
Pentagon computer systems, which could see him imprisoned for 175 years if
convicted.
數月前,維基解密出版商朱利安‧阿桑奇被逐出厄瓜多爾駐倫敦大使館。 他被美國指控
協助曼寧入侵五角大樓計算機系統,目前正在英國等待的引渡聽證會的結果。如果被定罪
,他可能會被監禁175年。
