美國首次因踐踏人權制裁金正恩
For the first time, the United States has put North Korea's leader on the U.S. sanctions list for human rights abuses.
Kim Jong Un is among 23 entities and individuals placed on Washington's blacklist for their role in serious human rights violations, hunting down defectors or censorship in North Korea.
“We have identified 23 individuals and entities in our report, one of those individuals is Kim Jong Un, we have made the judgment that he is rather plainly, ultimately responsible for the actions of his regime including its repressive policies towards his own people,” a senior U.S. official announced Wednesday.
The State Department said human rights abuses in North Korea are among the worst in the world. Many of these abuses are committed in political prison camps, where an estimated 80,000 to 120,000 individuals are detained, including children and family members of the accused.美國第一次把朝鮮領導人金正恩列入侵犯人權制裁名單上。
包括金正恩在內，美國這份黑名單上共有23個實體和個人。他們被列入這個黑名單的原因是他們各自在嚴重侵犯人權、追捕逃北者和朝鮮言論審查等方面所扮演的角色。
美國一名高層官員星期三宣佈，“我們的報告已經確認了23個個人和實體，其中包括金正恩。我們認定，金正恩毫無疑問要對朝鮮當局的行爲負有最終責任，包括朝鮮政權對自己的人民所採取的壓迫性政策。”
美國國務院表示，朝鮮侵犯人權的現象在世界上是最糟糕的。許多踐踏人權的行爲都發生在政治犯集中營，估計那裏拘押着八萬至十二萬人，包括被關押者的孩子和家人。
