2022年12月07日 VOA慢速英语：印度尼西亚将禁止婚外性行为

 

Indonesia's parliament on Tuesday voted for new laws to ban sex outside of marriage. The new measure also bans people from insulting the president and government.
印度尼西亚议会周二投票通过了禁止婚外性行为的新法律。新措施还禁止人们侮辱总统和政府。
 
Once in force, the bans will affect foreign visitors as well as citizens. But a government official said the new laws will not be in place for several years.
一旦生效，这些禁令将影响外国游客和公民。但一位政府官员表示，新法律将在数年内实施。
 
The amended law says sex outside marriage is punishable by a year in jail. And unmarried couples living together will face six months in prison.
修订后的法律规定，婚外性行为可判处一年监禁。同居的未婚夫妇将面临六个月的监禁。
 
The law keeps a previous ban on abortion, a medical procedure to end a pregnancy. But the changes add exceptions already provided in a 2004 Medical Practice Law, for women with life-threatening medical conditions and rape, provided that the fetus is less than 12 weeks old.
法律保留了先前禁止堕胎的禁令，堕胎是一种终止妊娠的医疗程序。但这些变化增加了 2004 年医疗实践法中已经规定的例外情况，适用于患有危及生命的疾病和被强奸的妇女，前提是胎儿小于 12 周大。
 
Citizens could also face 10 years in prison for having links to Marxist-Leninist organizations and 4 years for spreading communism.
公民也可能面临 10 年监禁，因为与马克思列宁主义组织的联系以及传播共产主义的 4 年。
 
The law still permits the death penalty, even though some groups pushed for its removal.
法律仍然允许死刑，尽管一些团体要求废除死刑。
 
It restores a ban on insulting a sitting president, vice president, as well as government or national ideology. Insults to a sitting president could lead up to three years in jail.
法律仍然允许死刑，尽管一些团体要求废除死刑。
 
The change expands an existing blasphemy law. It gives a five-year prison term for those who move away from Indonesia's six approved religions: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism.
这一变化扩大了现有的亵渎法。它对脱离印度尼西亚六大认可宗教的人处以五年徒刑：伊斯兰教、新教、天主教、印度教、佛教和儒教。
 
Civil rights organizations criticized the new laws as overly broad and unclear. They said they will criminalize normal activities and threaten freedom of expression and privacy rights.
民权组织批评新法律过于宽泛和不明确。他们表示，他们会将正常活动定为犯罪，并威胁言论自由和隐私权。

Groups that support the rights of LGBTQ people in Indonesia were pleased with one change in the new law: sex between gay people is not included in the list of illegal acts.
印度尼西亚支持 LGBTQ 人群权利的团体对新法律的一项变化感到高兴：同性恋者之间的性行为不列入违法行为清单。
 
Indonesia's President Joko Widodo is expected to sign the new laws. Even if he does not sign it, they will take effect after 30 days.
印度尼西亚总统佐科维多多有望签署新法律。就算他不签，也要30天后生效。
 
But Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights for Indonesia Edward Hiariej said the law will not be enforced for up to three years. He noted that enforcement measures "must be worked out" and could not be done in one year.
但印度尼西亚法律和人权部副部长 Edward Hiariej 表示，该法律最多三年内不会执行。他指出，执法措施“必须制定出来”，不可能在一年内完成。

Indonesia's leaders tried to update the nation's criminal law in 2019. But Widodo asked lawmakers to delay the vote after nationwide protests. The protesters said the laws were discriminatory and the process for making the changes was unclear.
印度尼西亚领导人试图在 2019 年更新国家刑法。但维多多要求立法者在全国范围内推迟投票抗议。抗议者表示，这些法律具有歧视性，而且进行修改的过程不明确。
 
The government called Tuesday's vote for the new law "a historic step" in Indonesia's independence from the Netherlands. The country has been independent since 1945 but Dutch administrators wrote many of the nation's laws.
政府称周二对新法律的投票是印度尼西亚脱离荷兰独立的“历史性一步”。该国自 1945 年以来一直独立，但荷兰行政人员制定了该国的许多法律。
 
Andreas Harsono is a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch. He said changes to the new Indonesian laws are dangerous. He said, "These laws let police extort bribes, let officials jail political foes."
安德烈亚斯·哈索诺 (Andreas Harsono) 是人权观察的高级研究员。他说，改变印度尼西亚的新法律是危险的。他说：“这些法律让警察勒索贿赂，让官员关押政敌。”
 
Harsono added that places like Bali and Jakarta will also risk losing foreign visitors because of the new laws.
Harsono 补充说，由于新法律，巴厘岛和雅加达等地也将面临失去外国游客的风险。
