European Lawmakers Vote in Support of Edward Snowden
歐洲議會通過支持史諾登的決議
3.完整新聞內文:
Edward Snowden is still stuck in Russia more than two years after
revealing that the U.S. government engaged in mass surveillance on
tens millions of innocent Americans. If he returns to the United
States he still faces the prospect of prison, unlike
national-security officials who tortured or violated the law by
secretly spying on their countrymen, or who have themselves leaked
highly classified national-security information. President Obama
shows no sign of granting him clemency to acknowledge the public
service that he performed and civil-liberties violations he
exposed.
史諾登在成為吹哨者後兩年仍然被困在俄國，他揭露了數千萬美國人受到政
府毫無理由的監控，與其他美國負責監控的官員洩密不同，他將受到牢獄之
災，而歐巴馬政府卻沒有因為他揭露重大人權侵害而特赦他的意思。
Snowden may, however, have a future as a free man in Europe.
然而，史諾登可能在歐洲獲得自由
On Thursday, the European Parliament voted 285 to 281 to call on
EU member states “to drop any criminal charges against Edward
Snowden, grant him protection and consequently prevent extradition
or rendition by third parties, in recognition of his status as
whistle-blower and international human rights defender.”
歐洲議會通過議案撤銷對史諾登的控訴，並予以庇護而不被第三方國家引渡
，肯認他作為國際人權吹哨者的貢獻。
The vote is not binding on any particular member state, all of
which have extradition treaties with the United States. But it
suggests that there is a measure of popular and elite support for
the mass-surveillance truth-teller that would be a prerequisite
were a European state to defy U.S. pressure and grant Snowden
political asylum. “This is not a blow against the US Government,
but an open hand extended by friends,” Snowden said in a
statement on Twitter. “It is a chance to move forward.”
雖然這個投票並沒有強制效力，很多歐盟國家實則仍與美國有引渡條約，但
這也代表對與美國的監控行動的對抗者史諾登有廣大的支持，並成為歐盟國
家給予史諾登政治庇護的助力，史諾登也答覆到：「這並不是對抗美國政府
的行為，而是盟友間出手相助」
Ned Price, a spokesman for the National Security Council, told The
New York Times that Snowden faces felony charges and “should be
returned to the U.S. as soon as possible, where he will be
accorded full due process.” The felony in question, the Espionage
Act, was one of the laws passed in 1917 amid the civil-liberties
abrogations of World War I. Snowden’s lawyers have noted that he
would be forbidden from arguing at trial that he acted in the
public interest when passing the truth about the NSA to Laura
Poitras, Glenn Greenwald, and Barton Gellman. His detractors note
that he passed on an unknown quantity of other secrets too, and
that it’s possible that foreign spy agencies have seen them as a
result.
美國國安會雖然呼籲史諾登回美受審，並且承諾會給予公平審判，但是美國
所控訴史諾登的重罪是在1917一次大戰壓抑人權期間所通過的間諜法，史諾
登的律師表示他洩漏國家監控人民消息的行為將無法以公共利益作為抗辯，
但也有人說史諾登也洩漏了與上開公共利益無關的機密，而使外國的情報機
關應此得知未知數量的機密
Last year, in an article urging the Obama administration to grant
Snowden clemency, I argued that leaks should go unpunished when
satisfying a number of criteria that his met:
When the leak reveals lawbreaking by the U.S. government
When the leak reveals behavior deemed unconstitutional by
multiple federal judges
When a presidential panel that reviews the leaked
information recommends significant reforms
When the leak inspires multiple pieces of reform legislation
in Congress
When the leak reveals that a high-ranking national-security
official perjured himself before Congress
When the leak causes multiple members of Congress to express
alarm at policies being carried out without their knowledge
昔日有人提出吹哨者可以阻卻違法的數個要件
Bolivia, Venezuela, and Nicaragua have previously offered Snowden
asylum, but it is unclear if he could get to any of those
countries without being intercepted by the United States.
玻利維亞、委內瑞拉與尼加拉瓜都願意提供史諾登政治庇護，但並無法保證
在運送途中不會受到美國的攔截
