聯合國人權小組判定阿桑奇被強制拘禁

A U.N. human rights working group has ruled that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been "arbitrarily detained" at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, but the group has no authority over British police seeking to arrest him.

聯合國一個人權工作小組判定，維基揭祕創辦者阿桑奇在厄瓜多爾駐倫敦大使館被強制拘禁，但該小組無權向尋求逮捕阿桑奇的英國警方發佈指示。

The working group announced its findings Friday, some three-and-a-half years after Assange took refuge in the embassy to avoid arrest and extradition to Sweden on rape charges.

這個聯合國工作小組星期五宣佈了上述判定結果。爲避免因強姦指控被逮捕並引渡到瑞典，阿桑奇在厄瓜多爾駐英大使館避難已長達3年半左右。

British authorities have not yet responded to the ruling.

英國當局還沒有對聯合國工作小組的這一判定做出反應。

On Thursday, Swedish prosecutors predicted the U.N. ruling and said Assange's confinement has no impact on the rape case against him in Sweden.

瑞典檢察官星期四預料到了聯合國工作小組會做出這一判定，並表示，阿桑奇受困不會對他在瑞典被控強姦一案有任何影響。

Assange, who is Australian, published on WikiLeaks a number of leaked diplomatic cables and other sensitive documents the United States considers classified information. It was one of the largest information leaks in U.S. history.

阿桑奇是澳大利亞人，他在維基解密網站上發表了很多泄露的外交密電和美國認爲屬於機密的其他敏感文件。這是美國曆史上最大規模的泄密事件之一。
