美國對馬爾代夫前總統被逮捕表示關注

The United States has expressed concern over the arrest of former Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed, who faces charges under anti-terrorism laws in the Indian Ocean country.

美國對前馬爾代夫前總統納希德被逮捕表示關注。納希德被指控觸犯了這個印度洋國家的反恐法律。

Mr. Nasheed was arrested at his home Sunday in the capital, Male, and accused of illegally detaining a senior judge more than three years ago during his presidency.

星期日，納希德在首都馬累的家中被逮捕。他被控三年多前在其總統任期期間曾非法拘留一名資深法官。

On Monday, police dragged Mr. Nasheed into a courtroom to hear the charges. He later appeared to be in pain and complained that he had been abused by police.

星期一，警察將納希德拖上法庭，法官宣佈了對他的控罪。納希德隨後顯出痛苦的樣子，並抱怨受到警察的虐待。

The top U.S. diplomat for South Asia, Nisha Biswal, met with the Maldivian foreign minister to voice concern over the situation.

美國高層外交官，負責南亞和中亞事務的國務次卿比斯瓦爾會見了馬爾代夫外交部長，表示對此事的關注。

"She urged the government to take steps to restore confidence in their commitment to democracy, judicial independence, and rule of law, including respect for the rights of peaceful protest and respect for due process," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

美國國務院發言人珍·莎琪說，“比斯瓦爾敦促馬爾代夫採取措施恢復人們對政府各項承諾的信心，其中包括民主、司法獨立和法治、以及對和平抗議和正當司法程序的尊重。”

India's foreign ministry also expressed concern over "the arrest and manhandling" of Mr. Nasheed, saying political parties should resolve their differences within the Maldives' constitutional and legal framework.

印度外交部也對納希德“被逮捕和遭到粗暴對待”表示關注，並說馬爾代夫各黨派應在憲法和相關法律的框架內解決分歧。
