巴基斯坦反貪局拒絕逮捕總理阿什拉夫

The head of Pakistan's anti-corruption bureau says it has decided not to arrest Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, despite orders to do so by the supreme court.

巴基斯坦反貪局首腦表示，儘管最高法院下令逮捕總理阿什拉夫，但該機構已決定不逮捕他。

Fasih Bokhari, chief of the National Accountability Bureau, told the court Thursday that he does not have sufficient evidence to arrest Mr. Ashraf on corruption charges.

巴基斯坦國家問責局局長伯哈里星期四對最高法院說，他沒有得到以貪污指控逮捕阿什拉夫的足夠證據。

On Tuesday, the supreme court ordered the arrest of the prime minister and 15 others on charges involving private power stations.

星期二，巴基斯坦最高法院下令逮捕被控參與私營發電廠交易的阿什拉夫以及其他15人。

Mr. Ashraf is accused of taking bribes for arranging to build power plants to serve Pakistan's power deficiency. Mr. Ashraf has denied the allegations.

阿什拉夫被控接受賄賂，以安排建造發電廠，解決巴基斯坦的電力短缺問題。阿什拉夫否認這些指稱。

Observers say the arrest warrants could worsen the already-existing tension between the government and the courts.

觀察人士說，逮捕令問題可能使巴基斯坦政府與法院之間原本就很緊張的關係更加惡化。
