A judge in Australia has sentenced Cardinal George Pell to six years for sexually abusing two teenage boys in Melbourne Cathedral 20 years ago. Seventy-seven-year-old Cardinal Pell, a former adviser to the Pope, is the most senior clergyman ever to be convicted of child sex offenses. Chief Judge Peter Kidd said the Cardinal had clearly abused his position of authority and trust. But he also said the Cardinal's advanced age and his ill health should be taken into account. I sentence you to a total effective sentence of six years imprisonment. I set a non-parole period of three years and eight months. That means you will become eligible to apply for parole after serving this non-parole period. Your release on parole will be a matter entirely for the parole board.
澳大利亚的一名法官判处红衣主教乔治•佩尔六年监禁,原因是他在20年前在墨尔本大教堂性侵了两名男男孩。77岁的红衣主教佩尔是教宗的前顾问,他也是被判性侵儿童的最资深的神职人员。审判长彼得•基德表示红衣主教很明显滥用了他的职权和信任。但是他也表示主教的高龄和健康状况差的情况也会考虑在内。我宣判你有效刑期为6年的监禁。你的禁止保释期为3年8个月。这意味着你可以在这个期限后申请保释。你的假释事宜将完全归假释委员会所管。

The human rights organization Amnesty International says the European Union is complicit in Croatia's ill treatment of thousands of asylum seekers. Ayong Skippers reports. In a new report, Amnesty International alleges Croatian border authorities use violence to force migrants into neighboring Bosnia where they are trapped in improvised camps with poor conditions and inadequate protection. The report describes how some migrants were beaten as their documents destroyed and their possession stolen by Croatian police. Attempts to scrutinize these practices have been blocked. Amnesty says that European leaders can no longer wash their hands of responsibility as they continue to fund the Croatian border police. The Croatian authorities have denied the allegations.
