埃及清場行動 血腥衝突638人死亡

Deeply polarized Egypt braced for renewed confrontation on Friday after the Muslim Brotherhood called for a nationwide march of millions to show anger at a ferocious security crackdown on Islamists in which hundreds were killed.
埃及兩股敵對勢力本週五再度對抗。此前一次對伊斯蘭教徒的血腥鎮壓中有數百人死亡，穆斯林兄弟會還爲此發起過全國範圍的百萬人示威遊行，表示憤怒和不滿。

Defying criticism from major Western allies, Egypt's army-backed government warned it would turn its guns on anyone who attacked the police or public institutions after protesters torched a government building in Cairo on Thursday.
抗議者週四在首都開羅焚燬一棟政府建築後，埃及武裝政府不顧西方主要國家的抗議，聲稱會擊斃任何攻擊警察或毀壞政府部門的人。

At least 638 people died and thousands were wounded on Wednesday when police cleared out two protest camps in Cairo set up to denounce the military overthrow on July 3 of Egypt's first freely elected president, Islamist leader Mohamed Mursi.
第一任自由選舉總統、伊斯蘭教領袖穆罕默德·穆爾西7月3日被埃及軍方罷黜。週三兩處在開羅的穆爾西支持陣營被警方清場，至少造成638人死亡，上千人受傷。

This week's carnage will do further damage to state coffers. The government has set a nighttime curfew that it says will last at least a month, a move that will deal a further blow to the crucial tourism industry.

Many of those who died on Wednesday were still laid out more than a day later in Cairo morgues and at a city mosque. Their families accused the government of putting bureaucratic hurdles in their way to make it hard to obtain permission to bury them.
在開羅的太平間和清真寺裏還存有許多死於週三清場行動的屍體，時隔一天多仍未處理。死者家屬譴責政府設置官僚手續障礙，使得他們很難獲得許可安葬屍體。

伊斯蘭教的傳統是，死亡後需要在24小時之內入土爲安。
