印度警方周五拘捕了印度“蟑螂”运动创始人阿比吉特·迪普克,其团体的直播画面显示,此次拘捕发生在他号召在首都新德里中央商务区举行抗议活动之前,这是最新一场要求印度选举委员会主席辞职的集会。
Police detained India’s ‘cockroach’ movement founder Abhijeet Dipke on Friday, live images from his group showed, ahead of a protest called by him in capital New Delhi’s central business district, the latest rally to demand the resignation of India’s election chief.
由年轻人领导的“蟑螂人民党”(CJP)、反对派团体和学生组织本月几乎每天举行抗议活动,要求选举委员会主席吉亚内什·库马尔辞职,原因是选民名单修订,批评者称该修订有利于印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪领导的印度人民党。
The youth-led ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ (CJP), opposition groups and student organisations have held almost daily protests this month demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over a revision of voter lists that critics say favours Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party.
修订期间,超过1.3亿选民被删除,但选举委员会否认偏袒任何政党,并表示被错误删除的选民可以重新登记。印度人民党指责反对派通过错误质疑合法选举程序来破坏民主。
More than 130 million voters were deleted during the revision, but the Election Commission has denied favouring any party and said wrongly deleted voters can re-enrol. The BJP has accused rivals of trying to undermine democracy by wrongly questioning legitimate electoral processes.
迪普克号召周五的抗议活动,以支持本周两名CJP领导人被拘留并被判处五天监禁,原因是他们在违反禁令的抗议现场示威。
Dipke called Friday’s protest in support of two CJP leaders detained and sent to jail this week for five days for demonstrating at a protest site in violation of a ban.
该组织和左翼学生组织曾敦请支持者周五傍晚在德里繁华的康诺特广场购物和美食区的中央公园集合,挥舞和升起国旗。
The group and left-wing student organisations had urged supporters to gather at the Central Park in Delhi’s busy Connaught Place shopping and food district on Friday evening to wave and hoist the national flag.
CJP社交媒体上的直播视频显示,迪普克走出一栋房子,朝街道走去,警察将他拦下,经过简短争论后,将他拖进警车并驱车离开。“我们现在就拘留你,”一名警察可以听到对迪普克说。
The live video on CJP’s social media showed Dipke coming out of a house and walking towards the street, where police officers stopped him and, after a brief argument, hauled him into a police car and drove away. “We are detaining you right now,” a police officer could be heard telling Dipke.
“我现在没有违反任何法律……你们怎么能拘留我,”迪普克在被带走时向警察问道。警方对拘捕一事暂未立即发表评论。周五早些时候,警方与迪普克会面,警告他不要举行抗议活动。
“I have not broken any law right now … how can you detain me,” Dipke asked the police officers as he was taken away. There was no immediate comment from the police on the detention. Earlier on Friday, police met Dipke and warned him against going ahead with the protest.
