Relatives of victims of the Malaysian airliner shotdown over Ukraine in July 2014 are suing Russia andPresident Vladimir Putin over their allegedinvolvement in the incident.

2014年7月在烏克蘭上空被擊落的馬來(lái)西亞航班死難者的親屬,正在以涉嫌參與這一事件的理由,向俄羅斯及其總統(tǒng)弗拉基米爾•普京(Vladimir Putin)發(fā)起訴訟。

LHD, an Australian law firm, said on Monday it hadfiled a lawsuit at the European Court of HumanRights seeking damages of $10m per passenger inrelation to the downing of the jet in pro-Russian rebel-held territory, which killed all 298passengers on board.

澳大利亞律師事務(wù)所LHD周一表示,該所已向歐洲人權(quán)法院(European Court of Human Rights)提交訴訟,索取每位乘客1000萬(wàn)美元的賠償。這些乘客與墜落在親俄叛軍所控制領(lǐng)土的航班有關(guān),這一事件導(dǎo)致機(jī)上298名乘客全部遇難。

“We have submitted almost 2,000 pages of documentary evidence which indicate thatRussians were present, Russian heavy military equipment was present, it was photographed,witnessed, videoed and geo-located to the area were the missile was fired from,” said JerrySkinner, special counsel with LHD.

LHD特別訴訟律師杰里•斯金納(Jerry Skinner)表示:“我們已提交了近2000頁(yè)書(shū)面證據(jù)。這些證據(jù)表明俄羅斯人出現(xiàn)過(guò),俄羅斯重型軍事裝備曾出現(xiàn)過(guò),照片、目擊證人、視頻和GPS定位都顯示他們的位置在該枚導(dǎo)彈發(fā)出的地區(qū)。”

Mr Skinner told Australian radio the lawsuit was filed on behalf of 33 next of kin of sevenfamilies from Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia. He said the action was intended to be “adeterrent or punishment for undesirable conduct”, which he alleges was perpetrated by Russiaand Mr Putin.

斯金納向澳大利亞廣播電臺(tái)表示,這一法律訴訟是代來(lái)自澳大利亞、新西蘭和馬來(lái)西亞的七個(gè)家庭的33名親屬提交的。他說(shuō),此舉意在“震懾或懲罰不良行為”。按照他的說(shuō)法,這一不良行為是俄羅斯和普京犯下的。

The shooting down of flight MH17 during a conflict between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed rebels prompted the UN to issue a resolution condemning the “tragic loss” of lives andcalling for an independent investigation. Two-thirds of the 298 victims on the flight betweenAmsterdam and Kuala Lumpur were Dutch, with the remainder coming from Australia,Malaysia and several other nations.

在烏克蘭軍隊(duì)與俄羅斯支持的反政府軍發(fā)生的一次沖突期間,MH17航班被擊落。這一事件促使聯(lián)合國(guó)發(fā)出決議,譴責(zé)生命的“悲劇性喪失”并呼吁開(kāi)展獨(dú)立調(diào)查。在這一從阿姆斯特丹飛往吉隆坡的航班上,298名遇難者中有三分之二的人是荷蘭人,其余人則來(lái)自澳大利亞、馬來(lái)西亞和其他幾個(gè)國(guó)家。

The Dutch safety board concluded in a report last year that the aircraft was brought down by aRussian-made surface-to-air Buk missile but did not say who fired it.

去年,荷蘭安全委員會(huì)(Dutch Safety Board)在一份報(bào)告中認(rèn)定,飛機(jī)是被一枚俄制地對(duì)空山毛櫸導(dǎo)彈擊落的,不過(guò)該機(jī)構(gòu)并未表示是誰(shuí)發(fā)射了這枚導(dǎo)彈。

Ukraine and western experts have blamed Russian-backed rebels for firing the missile but thishas been rejected by Russia, which has blamed Ukrainian forces.

烏克蘭和西方專家將導(dǎo)彈的發(fā)射歸咎于俄羅斯支持的反政府軍,俄羅斯卻否認(rèn)了這種說(shuō)法,并將其歸咎于烏克蘭政府軍。

Mr Skinner, who previously worked on compensation claims lodged by families against Libyafollowing the Lockerbie disaster, said it was clear that without Mr Putin’s permission a Bukmissile would never have crossed the border into Ukraine.

斯金納曾在洛克比空難后,受家屬所托辦理過(guò)針對(duì)利比亞的索賠案。他說(shuō),很明顯,山毛櫸導(dǎo)彈沒(méi)有普京的允許是不會(huì)越境進(jìn)入烏克蘭的。

“That doesn’t simply happen in Russia unless it is cleared all the way to the top,” he said.

他說(shuō):“除非從上到下一路綠燈,這種事在俄羅斯不會(huì)隨隨便便發(fā)生的。”

A Russian spokesman said on Sunday the country did not yet have any information about thecompensation claim.

周日,一名俄羅斯發(fā)言人表示,對(duì)于索賠的任何情況俄羅斯還不知情。

Last year Russia vetoed a UN resolution that sought to establish an independent tribunal forthe purpose of prosecuting people responsible for downing MH17. An investigation by Dutchcriminal prosecutors has yet to conclude.

去年,俄羅斯曾否決一項(xiàng)聯(lián)合國(guó)(UN)決議,該決議試圖組建一個(gè)獨(dú)立法庭,起訴擊落MH17航班的責(zé)任人。而由荷蘭刑事檢察機(jī)構(gòu)開(kāi)展的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查仍未得出結(jié)論。

Moscow’s refusal to back a UN investigation stands in contrast to its pursuit of thoseresponsible for a terrorist attack on an Egyptian jet in October that killed 224 people, mainlyRussian holidaymakers. Russia has offered $50m for information leading to the capture ofthose responsible.

俄羅斯政府拒絕支持聯(lián)合國(guó)調(diào)查,與其對(duì)去年十月一架埃及航班上所發(fā)生恐怖襲擊的責(zé)任人的追查形成了鮮明對(duì)比。該事件導(dǎo)致224人喪生,主要是度假的俄羅斯人。俄羅斯已懸賞5000萬(wàn)美元,尋找任何能抓獲責(zé)任人的情報(bào)。
