【译文】
China says it executes fewer prisoners than it has done in the past
中国声称它的死刑执行数量比过去减少了
Rights group Amnesty International has urged China to disclose the number of prisoners it executes.
人权组织大赦国际呼吁中国公开披露它处决的囚犯人数。
In its annual report on the use of the death penalty, Amnesty said some 714 people were known to have been executed in 18 countries in 2009.
大赦国际在一份关于死刑的年度报告中说到，已确定有18个国家的714人在2009年被处决。
But the group said the true global figure could be much higher, as thousands of executions were thought to have been carried out in China alone.
但是该组织指出世界范围内的实际数字远大于此，因为仅仅在中国就可能执行了数千例死刑。
At least 366 people were executed in Iran, 120 in Iraq and 52 in the US.
伊朗处决了至少366人，伊拉克处决了120人，美国处决了52人。
Amnesty praised Burundi and Togo for abolishing the death penalty in 2009 and said that for the first time in modern history, no-one had been executed in Europe or the former Soviet Union over the year.
大赦国际称赞布隆迪和多哥，因为他们在2009年废除了死刑。就在去年，欧洲和前苏联国家没有处决事件发生,而这在现代历史上还是第一次。
China: thousands suspected executed by injection and shooting
中国：怀疑有数千人被注射处决或枪毙
Iran: more than 366 executions, by hanging or stoning
伊朗：超过366例死刑执行，方式是绞刑或石刑
Iraq: more than 120 executions by hanging
伊拉克：超过120人被处以绞刑
Saudi Arabia: at least 69 executions by beheading or crucifixion
沙特阿拉伯：至少有69人被斩首处决或钉死在十字架上
US: 52 executions by lethal injection or electrocution
美国：52人被处以注射死刑或电刑
'Torture'
“酷刑”
Beijing says it executes fewer people now than it has in the past, but has always maintained that details of its executions are a state secret.
北京声称中国的死刑执行数量比过去减少了，但是他们还是一如既往地将与死刑相关的详细资料视为国家机密。
However, Amnesty said that "evidence from previous years and a number of current sources indicates that the figure remains in the thousands".
尽管如此，大赦国际表示“早年的证据和当前的大量资料显示这个数字仍然是数以千计”。
It said the death penalty could be applied to 68 offences in the country, including non-violent crimes, with executions carried out by lethal injection or firing squad.
报告称在中国有68项罪名可以被判处死刑，其中包括那些非暴力的犯罪。死刑通过毒剂注射或者枪决的方式执行。
Many people were sentenced based on confessions extracted under torture and having had limited access to legal counsel, it said.
许多人的判决是基于刑讯逼供的，他们几乎得不到合法的辩护，报告称。
"The Chinese authorities claim that fewer executions are taking place," said Amnesty's Interim Secretary General Claudio Cordone.
“中国当局声称只有少数死刑被执行”，大赦国际的临时秘书长克劳德·科顿说。
"If this is true, why won't they tell the world how many people the state put to death?"
“如果这是真的，为什么他们不告诉全世界中国到底处死了多少人？”
Since 2007, all death sentences passed in China have been subject to a mandatory review by a higher court, a process China says has reduced the number of killings carried out.
从2007年开始，在中国的所有死刑判决都需要得到最高人民法院的终审复核，中国说此举有助于减少死刑判决。
"However, as long as statistics on the use of the death penalty in China remain a state secret, it will be impossible to verify this claim and to analyse actual trends," said Amnesty.
“然而，只要有关死刑的统计信息仍属国家机密，中国政府所声称的话就不可能得到证实，实际的变化趋势也没有办法分析，”大赦国际说。
Of particular concern to Amnesty were cases of those executed after political unrest in Tibet and Xinjiang, people sentenced to death for financial fraud and a British man, Akmal Shaikh, executed for drug smuggling despite his lawyer's claims he was mentally ill.
大赦国际特别注意到，在西藏和新疆政治动荡发生后被处死的一些人，在案件中是以金融诈骗的名义被判处死刑的。此外还有一个涉嫌毒品走私的英国人，阿克毛·夏克，虽然律师一再宣称他患有精神疾病，但最终还是难逃一死。
"The time is long overdue for China to fall into line with international law and standards on the death penalty and be open and transparent regarding its use of capital punishment," it said.
“在对待死刑的问题上，中国迟迟没有向国际法准则看齐，不能公开透明地审视死刑的使用”，报告中提到。
2009年死刑情况
中国处死的人数超过其他国家死刑数量的总和。
Abolitionist trend
废除死刑的趋势
Amnesty said that by the end of 2009, there were 17,118 people on death row around the world, with 2,001 people sentenced that year.
大赦国际说，截至2009年底，全世界共有17,118名死囚，当年共有2,001人被判处死刑。
But while 58 countries still had a death penalty in 2009, only 18 countries were known to have carried out executions.
2009年虽然全球仍有58个国家保留死刑，但是只有18个国家实际执行了死刑。
It also said "commutations and pardons of death sentences appear to be more frequent" in countries which still pass death sentences, including more than 4,000 in Kenya in a mass commutation in August.
在那些仍然保留死刑的国家“减刑和赦免死刑似乎更加频繁了”，这其中包括在八月份对超过4000名囚犯进行大规模减刑的肯尼亚。
The group noted a sharp rise in executions in Iran in the eight weeks after political unrest following President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's election victory in June 2009.
大赦国际注意到，2009年6月，艾哈迈迪-内贾德在赢得总统选举后，伊朗发生了政治动荡，而就在这场风波之后伊朗的被处决人数激增。
Iran was also criticised, along with Saudi Arabia, for carrying out executions of people convicted of crimes they committed while under the age of 18.
报告特别谴责了伊朗和沙特阿拉伯，因为他们甚至对未满18岁的罪犯执行死刑。
Saudi Arabia was reported to have carried out executions "at an alarming rate", with at least 69 people publicly beheaded in 2009.
2009年，至少69人在沙特阿拉伯被公开处死，报告称沙特的死刑执行“处于一个令人担忧的级别”。
The report also highlighted an increasing abolitionist trend around the world in recent years.
报告还特别指出近年来全世界不断上升的废除死刑的趋势。
Both Burundi and Togo outlawed the death penalty in 2009, becoming the 94th and 95th countries to do so.
布隆迪和多哥在2009年宣布废除死刑，他们成为了世界上第94和第95个这样做的国家。
"The world is in reach of 100 countries declaring their refusal to put people to death," said Amnesty.
“全世界已经有近100个国家宣布不再处死任何人，”大赦国际说。
The group repeated its assertion that the death penalty is cruel, an "affront to human dignity" and often used disproportionately against the poor and marginalised.
该组织重申其主张，死刑是残酷的，是在“侵犯人的尊严”，并且常常不成比例的用于贫困者和边缘人士。
It said the secrecy surrounding state executions in many countries was "indefensible".
报告称发生在一些国家的秘密处决行为是“不可饶恕的”。
"If capital punishment is a legitimate act of government as these nations claim, there is no reason for its use to be hidden from the public and international scrutiny," it said.
“如果说死刑正如那些国家所宣称的那样，是合法的，那么他们就没有对公众和国际监督隐瞒的理由”，报告中说到。 |
