印度青年领导的蟑螂人民党(Cockroach Janata Party)创始人阿比吉特·迪普克(Abhijeet Dipke)于周六获释,此前一天他在警方针对针对选举机构抗议活动的镇压行动中被捕。
India’s youth-led Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke was released from detention on Saturday, a day after his arrest during a police crackdown on protests against the election authority.
31岁的迪普克周五在新德里被拘留,当时他正前往参加由CJP抗议运动在首都中央康诺特广场(Connaught Place)区域发起的集会。
Dipke, 31, was detained Friday in New Delhi as he headed to join a rally that the CJP protest movement had called in the capital’s central Connaught Place district.
周六下午,他走出警局时向媒体挥手并竖起大拇指,随后被车辆送走。
He walked out of a police station on Saturday afternoon waving to the media and giving a thumbs up as he was driven away.
“阿比吉特·迪普克获释,”CJP法律事务主管拉特纳·辛格(Ratna Singh)在社交媒体上表示。
“Abhijeet Dipke released,” CJP legal affairs chief Ratna Singh said on social media.
反对党和CJP活动人士违背安全镇压,举行集会要求印度首席选举委员辞职,理由是他们指控选举机构操纵选民名单以利于总理纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)领导的执政党。
Opposition parties and CJP activists have defied a security crackdown, rallying to demand the resignation of India’s chief election commissioner after accusing the poll body of manipulating voter rolls to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling party.
该委员会负责监督世界上人口最多国家的投票,已否认任何不当行为。
The commission, which oversees voting in the world’s most populous nation, has denied any wrongdoing.
CJP另外两名高级领导人阿舒托什·兰卡(Ashutosh Ranka)和萨乌拉夫·达斯(Saurav Das)于10月14日因进入詹塔尔曼塔尔(Jantar Mantar)而被捕——这是一个警方宣布禁止示威活动的数十年老抗议场所。他们目前仍被羁押。
Two other senior CJP leaders, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, were arrested on October 14 after entering Jantar Mantar, a decades-old protest site that police have declared off-limits for demonstrations. They remain in custody.
“如今只等待我的兄弟们获自由,”迪普克在一条社交媒体帖子中说道,该帖子附带了兰卡和达斯的照片。
“Now just waiting for my brothers to be free,” Dipke said in a social media post that included a photo of Ranka and Das.
在另一条Instagram帖子中,迪普克表示他“早就知道进监狱是不可避免的”,并且他已做好准备面对“无论什么事情降临到我身上”。
In a separate post on Instagram, Dipke said he “knew going to jail was inevitable” and that he was ready to face “whatever comes my way”.
“因为在我决定回到印度的那天,我就把自己的命运交到了印度人民和这个国家宪法的手中。”莫迪领导的印度教民族主义政党——印度人民党(BJP)长期指控,来自邻国孟加拉国的大量无证穆斯林移民通过欺诈手段进入印度的选民名单。
“Because the day I decided to come back to India, I placed my fate in the hands of the people of India and the Constitution of this country.”Members of Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have long alleged that large numbers of undocumented Muslim migrants from neighbouring Bangladesh have fraudulently entered India’s electoral rolls.
然而,权利组织和批评者表示,莫迪政府在执政十余年间削弱了民主自由,他们指出,政府对记者、民间社会组织和政治对手施加了压力——政府否认了这些指控。
Rights groups and critics, however, say the Modi government has eroded democratic freedoms during more than a decade in power, citing pressure on journalists, civil society groups and political opponents – allegations the government rejects.
