President Barack Obama has proposed a plan to close the US prison at Guantánamo Bay in a final effort to persuade a sceptical Congress to help him shut the controversial site before he leaves office, fulfilling a campaign pledge.
美国总统巴拉克奥巴马(Barack Obama)提出了一项计划,拟关闭美国在关塔那摩湾(Guantánamo Bay)的监狱。这是他最后一次试图劝说持怀疑态度的美国国会帮他在离任前关闭这一备受争议的场所,以让他能够兑现在竞选总统时作出的承诺。
Fifteen years after Guantánamo was opened to detain prisoners captured in Afghanistan, the US is holding 91 inmates at the site. While 35 detainees have been approved for transfer to other nations, the plan proposes moving the remaining detainees to one of 13 unnamed prisons in the US.
关塔那摩监狱设立于15年前,用来关押在阿富汗俘获的囚犯。目前里面关着91名囚犯,其中35人已获批转至其他国家,而上述计划建议将剩下的囚犯转至美国境内13所未具名监狱中的一所。
“For many years, it’s been clear that the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay does not advance our national security,” Mr Obama said on Tuesday. “Guantánamo harms our partnerships with allies and other countries, whose co-operation we need against terrorism...It is viewed as a stain on our broader record of upholding the highest standards of rule of law.”
