在克罗地亚首都萨格勒布,数千民众夹道欢迎被海牙上诉法庭无罪释放的两位前将军回家。国际刑事法庭判定,没有证据表明安特·戈托维纳和姆拉丹·玛尔卡在20世纪90年代中期担任要职时进行过非法袭击,于是两人获释。克罗地亚称很为两人获释感到欣慰,塞尔维亚称法庭丧尽诚信。
The Swedish furniture chain, Ikea, has apologized after an independent report found that some of its suppliers in communist East Germany used forced labour to make its products during the Cold War. Steve Evans reports from Berlin.
由于一份独立报告发现,瑞士家具公司宜家在冷战期间,在共产主义东德强迫劳役进行生产,宜家为此已表示道歉。Steve Evans在柏林报道。
The investigators concluded that political prisoners were used to make Ikea furniture. Ikea said after the findings that the company had been aware of the possibility, and had tried to put in measures to ensure that prisoners weren’t used, but that, as its statement put it, it’s now clear that the measures were not effective enough. For the prisoners who worked on Ikea furniture, the recognition was what they wanted, but it may also open the way for legal claims.
调查者发现宜家使用政治犯来生产家具,宜家称看到这份调查后意识到有这种可能性,已采取措施确保不再使用囚犯,但是,正如其声明所说,该公司已经了解到这些措施并未完全实施。对那些曾在宜家家具厂工作的囚犯来说,这样的承认正是他们想要的,但他们可能为他们提出合法要求提供了条件。
