temporary asylum 临时避难
Edward Snowden has received temporary asylum in Russia for one year, and has moved to a safe place, a lawyer assisting him said Thursday. 为斯诺登提供法律帮助的律师周四表示,斯诺登已经获得了为期一年的俄罗斯临时避难许可,并已转移到一个安全的地方。 一直被广泛关注的“告密者”(whistleblower)斯诺登在俄罗斯机场中转区(transit zone)滞留数十日之后,俄罗斯政府终于同意为其提供庇护(grant asylum)。此前,斯诺登曾向多个国家申请政治避难(seek/ask for political asylum),对这些国家来说,他就是asylum seeker(寻求避难者),在获得避难许可之后,他就成了asylee(受庇护者,政治难民)。 律师表示,斯诺登保证不会发布任何抹黑美国政府的文件(documents that blacken the American government),而这也是俄罗斯总统普京此前提出的提供庇护的条件之一。 |
