Japan fisherman killed by Russia
日本漁民被俄羅斯槍殺
A Japanese fisherman has been shot dead by a Russian patrol boat near a chain
of disputed islands, the first fatality in 50 years, media reports said.
媒體報導，一名日本漁民在具爭議性的島鍊被俄羅斯巡邏艇射殺，這是五十年來首見的
人員身亡事件。
Japan's foreign ministry demanded the release of three other fishermen who
were detained by the Russian boat.
日本外交部要求釋放巡邏艇拘補的另外三名漁工。
Russia expressed regret but said the boat had entered its territory and said
such breaches should not happen again.
俄羅斯對此表示遺憾。但說明該日本船隻進入俄國領海，且表達不希望再有侵入領土的
事件發生。
Both sides claim the four islands, which Russia calls the southern Kurils and
Japan the Northern Territories.
雙方都宣稱擁有這四個島的主權，俄羅斯稱其為 the southern Kurils 日本則稱為
the Northern Territories。
The dispute has stopped the two nations signing a peace treaty to end WWII.
這個爭議曾導致兩國無法簽署終止二戰的和平協議。
The islands were seized by the Soviet Union at the end of the war in 1945.
Russia has said it will hand over some of the islands to Japan, but Tokyo
insists all four should be returned.
蘇聯在1945二戰結束後佔領了這群島，俄羅斯聲稱會移交部份島嶼給日本，然而東京
方面堅稱俄羅斯應歸還全部四個島。
Rare shooting
The Russian patrol boat opened fire on the Japanese vessel after it was found
in Russian waters and refused to stop, according to Russian media.
據俄羅斯媒體報導，巡邏艇發現這艘日本船隻出現在其領海併拒覺駛返之後朝其開火。
The Russian coast guard insisted that the vessel defied several orders to
stop and made dangerous manoeuvres, according to the Itar-Tass news agency.
根據 Itar-Tass news agency 報導，俄羅斯海防強調這艘船忽視令其停駛的指令並作
出危險的舉動。
The boat and its three remaining crew have now been taken to one of the
disputed islands.
這艘船及另外三名船員現在被帶到了其中一個島。
The BBC's Chris Hogg, in Tokyo, says fishing disputes are common in the area,
and Russian border patrols often try to capture Japanese fishermen.
BBC駐東京記者Chris Hogg表示這區域時常發生漁業糾紛。俄羅斯的邊巡不時嘗試逮補
日本漁民。
But the last time a Japanese citizen was shot dead by a Soviet vessel was
nearly 50 years ago.
上次日本人民被蘇聯船隻槍殺發生在五十年前。
