阿桑奇呼吁美国"停止迫害" 释放新闻线人
Julian Assange has urged the US to end its "witch-hunt" against Wikileaks, in his first public statement since entering Ecuador's London embassy.
自从进入厄瓜多尔在伦敦的大使馆之后,阿桑奇第一发表公开讲话,呼吁美国停止“对维基百科的无端迫害”。He also called for the release of Bradley Manning, who is awaiting trial in the US accused of leaking classified documents to the Wikileaks site.
他还要求美国释放布拉德利·曼宁,此人因涉嫌向维基百科提供机密文件,目前正在美国等待司法审判。Mr Assange spoke from a balcony at the embassy and thanked Ecuador's president, who has granted him asylum.
阿桑奇在大使馆的大厅中发表了以上消息,并对批准他政治庇护的厄瓜多尔总统表示感谢。
He faces extradition to Sweden over sexual assault claims, which he denies.
阿桑奇因为性骚扰罪名被瑞典通缉,但他否认了这一指控。The 41-year-old said the United States must also stop its "war on whistleblowers".
这名41岁的男人说,美国还必须同时停止“对泄密者的迫害”。He added: "The United States must vow that it will not seek to prosecute our staff or our supporters.
他补充说:“美国必须保证不再搜捕和起诉维基百科的员工和支持者。”"The United States must pledge before the world that it will not pursue journalists for shining a light on the secret crimes of the powerful."
“美国必须在全世界人民面前起誓不再追究曝光秘密犯罪的记者。”Mr Assange also said the United States was facing a choice between re-affirming the "revolutionary values it was founded on" or "dragging us all into a dangerous and oppressive world in which journalists fall silent under the fear of prosecution and citizens must whisper in the dark".
阿桑奇还说美国正面临一个选择,要么是“重新定义它的建国基础—革命信仰”,要么是“建立人人自危的压迫性世界,让新闻工作者都缄口,让百姓口不敢言”。
