前南斯拉夫战犯当庭服毒自杀_最新英语新闻

Praljak, a former Bosnian Croat official who was on trial Wednesday at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, has reportedly died after drinking poison.

周三,在联合国前南斯拉夫问题国际刑事法庭,前波黑克罗地亚族官员普拉利亚克当庭服毒,据报道其已经 “身亡”。

Appeals judges upheld his 20-year sentence for war crimes against Bosnian Muslims during the war in the Balkans in the 1990s, prompting Praljak to stand up and address the court in The Hague, Netherlands. “Judges, Slobodan Praljak is not a war criminal,” he said. “With disdain, I reject this verdict.” He then drank from what appeared to be a small vial, ignoring calls from the judge to sit down. “I have taken poison,” he said, according to a court translator.

上诉法官宣布,普拉利亚克在90年代的巴尔干战争期间,针对波黑穆斯林族裔犯下的罪行成立,维持一审20年有期徒刑的判决。法官请其起立做陈述,普拉利亚克说,“法官,我不是罪犯,蔑视你们,我拒绝服从该判决。”随后,他无视法官让其坐下的要求,喝掉了一小瓶液体。据一名法庭翻译官说,随后,普拉利亚克称,他刚才喝的是毒药。

The judge suspended the hearing and Praljak was brought in for treatment, according to Reuters. He reportedly died in a hospital in The Hague.

根据路透社的报道,法官随即停审,并送普拉利亚克入院治疗。据报道,他已在海牙的一家医院去世。

Praljak was a former assistant minister of defense of Croatia, and later commander of the main staff of the former Croatian Defense Council. He was originally sentenced to 20 years in jail in 2013.

普拉利亚克曾经担任克罗地亚前国防部部长助理,以及克罗地亚前防卫委员会司令官。2013年他曾被判有期徒刑20年。

The Yugoslavia tribunal, created in 1993 by the United Nations Security Council, has prosecuted hundreds of people for war crimes and is scheduled to shut down at the end of this year.

联合国安理会在1993年设立了前南斯拉夫问题国际刑事法庭,已经审判了上百名的战争罪犯。原计划,联合国将在在今年年底关闭前南刑庭。

The Yugoslav army targeted Bosnian Muslims and Croats in a brutal conflict that killed more than 100,000 people. The ICTY has played an integral role in shedding light on some of these atrocities, including the 1995 genocide in the town of Srebrenica and the use of rape as a weapon of war.

南斯拉夫军队在波黑战争期间中导致了10余万波黑穆斯林人以及克罗地亚人死亡。前南斯拉夫问题国际刑事法庭在惩罚这些暴行中扮演了重要的角色,包括1995年的斯雷布雷尼察种族大屠杀以及在战争中肆意奸淫妇女的罪行。

Gen. Ratko Mladic, known as the “Butcher of Bosnia,” was convicted last week of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, and given a life sentence. “Everything that you have said is pure lies,” he yelled in response. “Shame on you.”

上周, 法庭对被称为“波黑屠夫”的前司令姆拉迪奇进行宣判,认定其种族灭绝罪、危害人类罪、战争罪罪名成立,判处姆拉迪奇终身监禁。姆拉迪奇在接受审判时也曾不断高声抗议,大喊:“你说的一切都是谎话,你令人觉得耻辱。”

Slobodan Milosevic, the former Serbian leader, died of a heart attack in his jail cell in 2006, while his own ICTY trial was underway.

此外,前南联盟总统米洛舍维奇2006被发现因心脏病死在海牙监狱内,那时,他的案子正在审理当中。
