本周,尼日利亚一处监狱牢房内37名疑似非法采金者在准军事组织羁押期间死亡,幸存者讲述了当时的恐慌与窒息挣扎。与此同时,周五警方对抗议这些死亡事件的人群发射催泪瓦斯,并在明纳市实施宵禁。
The victims – many of whom were children – were found dead on Thursday in the cells of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), which had raided suspected illegal goldmines and locked up dozens of miners in the city, the state capital of the mineral-rich state of Niger.(受害者——其中许多是儿童——周四被发现死在NSCDC牢房内;该组织此前突袭了疑似非法金矿,并在尼日尔州首府关押了数十名矿工。)
受害者——其中许多是儿童——于周四被发现死在尼日利亚民防安全团(NSCDC)的牢房内。该组织此前突袭了疑似非法金矿,并在该市——矿产资源丰富的尼日尔州首府——关押了数十名矿工。
NSCDC – a paramilitary group that works with police – initially blamed the deaths on(把死亡归咎于) a disease outbreak. However, an intelligence report seen by Agence France-Presse (AFP) said preliminary information suggested that overcrowding and inadequate ventilation were responsible.(然而,法新社看到的一份情报报告称,初步信息表明过度拥挤和通风不足才是原因。)
