Sweden on Tuesday dropped its investigation into an alleged rape by WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange, who is currently in prison in Britain, because too
much time has elapsed since the accusation was made over nine years ago.
本週二，瑞典撤銷對維基解密創始人朱利安·阿桑奇（Julian Assange）涉嫌強姦案的調
查，原因是距離九年前提出的指控已經太久遠了。阿桑奇目前人被關押在英國監獄中。
Assange, who is battling an extradition attempt by the U.S. so he can face
spying charges related to his WikiLeaks work, has always denied the
allegations made against him during a visit to Stockholm in August 2010.
阿桑奇正在與美國的引渡要求進行鬥爭。美國因阿桑奇在維基解密的工作，於2010年8月
他訪問斯德哥爾摩的期間提出指控，並尋求引渡他至美國接受間諜罪審判。阿桑奇始終否
認這些針對他的指控。
“Nine years have gone,” Swedish prosecutor Eve-Marie Persson said. “Time
is a player in this. The oral evidence has weakened as time has passed.”
“已經過去了九年，”瑞典檢察官夏娃·瑪麗·佩爾森（Eve-Marie Persson）說。 “時
間是案件的因素。隨著時間的流逝，口頭證據減弱了。”
Though the victim “submitted a credible and reliable version of events,”
Persson said “the memory fades for natural reasons.”
儘管受害者“提交了有關事件的可信和可靠版本，” 佩爾森說“記憶會出於自然原因而
消退。”
Still, Persson said her statements “have been coherent, extensive and
detailed.”
但佩爾森仍堅持她的陳述“一直以來是一致的，廣泛的，和詳盡的。”
Elisabeth Massi Fritz, the lawyer for the rape victim — a Swedish woman who
was never identified — told Swedish broadcaster SVT that “the plaintiff’s
information is supported by heavy written evidence plus verbal evidence in
the form of doctors who examined the plaintiff.”
強姦案受害人是名從未被確認身份的瑞典女性。她的律師伊麗莎白‧馬西‧弗里茲
（Elisabeth Massi Fritz）對瑞典廣播電台SVT說：“原告的提出的資訊中有大量
書面證據加上口頭證據，包括醫生對原告的身體檢查。”
“To me that would be sufficient,” she said.
她說：“對我來說就足夠了。”
“However, the current prosecutor has done a thorough and solid job and she
should be commended for that,” Massi Fritz wrote according to Swedish news
agency TT.
馬西·弗里茨在寫給瑞典新聞社TT的信中表示：“不過，現任檢察官做得很周密，
紮實，她應為此受到讚揚。”
The decision follows a ruling in June by a Swedish court that Assange should
not be detained. Two months earlier, Assange was evicted from the Ecuador
Embassy in London where he had been holed up for nearly seven years. He was
immediately arrested and is currently serving a 50-week sentence in Britain
for jumping bail in 2012.
該決定是跟隨瑞典法院在今年6月做出的一項不應拘留阿桑奇裁決。兩個月前，阿桑奇被
驅逐出倫敦厄瓜多爾大使館，在那裡他被關了近七年。他立即被捕，目前以在2012年逃脫
保釋的罪名而在英國服刑50週。
Kristinn Hrafnsson, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief, said in a tweet that the focus
should now move to the “threat” that Assange has been “warning about for
years: the belligerent prosecution of the United States and the threat it
poses to the First Amendment.”
維基解密的主編Kristinn Hrafnsson在一條推文中說，現在的焦點應該轉移到阿桑奇多年
來一直在警告的“威脅”：“美國的戰爭罪行及其對憲法第一修正案的威脅。”
Swedish authorities have been investigating Assange since August 2010, when
two women accused him of sexual offenses. Sweden then asked Britain to
extradite Assange for questioning, and in June 2012 he sought refuge in
Ecuador’s London embassy to avoid arrest. That request was granted two
months later.
自2010年8月以來，瑞典當局一直在調查阿桑奇，當時有兩名女性指控他為性侵犯。瑞典
隨後要求英國引渡阿桑奇以進行質詢。阿桑奇於2012年6月前往厄瓜多爾倫敦大使館尋求
避難，以避免被捕。該請求在兩個月後獲准。
After that, the investigation stalled. Swedish prosecutors dropped the case
of alleged sexual misconduct when the statute of limitations ran out in 2015,
leaving only the rape allegation.
之後，調查陷入僵局。時效法令在2015年到期時，瑞典檢察官撤消了涉嫌性行為不端的案
件，僅留下了強姦指控。
While denying the allegations in Sweden, he sought asylum for protection from
possible extradition to the U.S. on charges.
在否認瑞典的指控同時，他尋求庇護，以免被引渡到美國。
Ecuador withdrew Assange’s asylum status in April and Assange was arrested
by British police. He was sentenced in May to 50 weeks in prison for jumping
bail in 2012. He remains in prison after authorities ruled he was a flight
risk and faces an extradition hearing next year to the U.S. to face spying
charges.
厄瓜多爾於4月撤回了對阿桑奇的庇護，阿桑奇接著被英國警察逮捕。今年5月，他因2012
年逃脫保釋的問題而被判處50週監禁。在當局裁定他有逃跑危險，並在面臨美國間諜指控
，將於明年召開引渡聽證會情況下，他仍在監獄中。
There, the Australian faces an 18-count indictment in the Eastern District of
Virginia that accuses him of soliciting and publishing classified information
and with conspiring with former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to
crack a Defense Department computer password.
在那兒，澳大利亞人阿桑奇在維吉尼亞州東區法院面臨18項起訴，指控他索取和發布機密
信息，並與前陸軍情報分析師切爾西·曼寧（Chelsea Manning）串謀破解國防部的計算
機密碼。
