來源:BBC

Hundreds of thousands of people are marching in Hong Kong against a law critics
fear could let China target political opponents in the territory.

成千上萬的人遊行反對法律 並擔心可能讓中國針對境內反中的政敵

The controversial extradition bill would allow suspected criminals to be sent to
 mainland China for trial.

引渡法將允許涉嫌犯罪的人 將可送往中國接受審判

The protests are expected to be the biggest since the 2014 Umbrella Movement, wh
ich saw hundreds of thousands take to the streets.

抗議人潮是2014年黃雨傘運動後最大一次的街頭抗議

The government says the bill has built-in protections and will plug loopholes.

政府表示此法案有內置保護措施

Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam has pushed for the amendments to be passed before
July. Supporters say safeguards are in place to prevent anyone facing religious
or political persecution from being extradited to mainland China.

香港領導人推動修正案目標於7月前通過

而支持法案的人表示 已制定保護措施 防止任何面臨宗教犯或政治犯會被送往中國受審

But the bill's critics say those in the former British colony would be exposed t
o China's deeply flawed justice system, and it would lead to further erosion of
the city's judicial independence.

但該法案的反對者表示 這些前英國殖民地的人 會接觸到有嚴重制度缺陷的中國司法

這將導致該市的司法獨立進一步會被受到侵蝕

Protesters, marching in the sweltering heat dressed in white, include a wide ran
ge of people - from businesspeople and lawyers to students, pro-democracy figure
s and religious groups.



"This is the end game for Hong Kong, it is a matter of life or death. That's why

 I come," Rocky Chang, a 59-year-old professor, told Reuters news agency. "This
is an evil law."

這是一場關於香港生死的最後一關 這就是為何我來到此地 59歲的教授受訪表示

並認為這是一條惡法

"The people's voices are not being heard," 18-year-old student Ivan Wong told AF
P news agency.

人民被聲音沒有被聽到 18歲的學生告訴法新社

"This bill will not just affect Hong Kong's reputation as an international finan
ce centre, but also our judicial system. That has an impact on my future."

and rape.

her to grant such extradition requests, and suspects accused of political and re
ligious crimes will not be extradited.

香港官員表示 香港法院對於批准此類似的引渡有最後決定權

The government has sought to reassure the public with some concessions, includin
g promising to only hand over fugitives for offences carrying maximum sentences
of at least seven years.

政府試圖做出讓步 承諾只對最高刑期與七年以上的罪犯做移交

Why the change now?

The latest proposal has come after a 19-year-old Hong Kong man allegedly murdere
d his 20-year-old pregnant girlfriend while they were holidaying in Taiwan toget
her in February last year. The man fled Taiwan and returned to Hong Kong last ye
ar.

這項提議是一名19歲男子在台灣殺害懷孕女友後提出的 改名男子犯後逃回香港


Taiwanese officials have sought help from Hong Kong authorities to extradite the
 man, but Hong Kong officials say they cannot comply because of the lack of an e
xtradition agreement with Taiwan.

台灣官員向香港尋求引渡 但香港官員表示與台灣缺乏引渡條款 他們無法引渡


But the Taiwanese government has said it will not seek to extradite the murder s
uspect under the proposed changes, and has urged Hong Kong to handle the case se
parately.

台灣政府已表示不會根據此提議變更引渡犯人 並敦促香港分別處理此案

Isn't Hong Kong under Chinese rule anyway?

A former British colony, Hong Kong is semi-autonomous under the principle of "on
e country, two systems" after it returned to Chinese rule in 1997.

1997年的香港是前英國殖民地 在返回中國後在一國兩制的原則下進行半治

The city has its own laws and its residents enjoy civil liberties unavailable to
 their mainland counterparts.

此城市居民享有自己的法律 享有內地居民無法享有的公民權利自由

Hong Kong has entered into extradition agreements with 20 countries, including t
he UK and the US, but no such agreements have been reached with mainland China d
espite ongoing negotiations in the past two decades.

香港與英國美國在內的20國家簽訂引渡條款 但在過去二十年尚未與中國協議引渡條款


Critics have attributed such failures to poor legal protection for defendants un
der Chinese law.

批評者批評在中國司法制度下 被告缺乏法律的保障

香港的前祖國BBC關注此報導 放在頭條

香港人的最後一戰 生死關頭 但我猜還是會通過
