聖薩爾瓦多，10月31日（路透）——在薩爾瓦多備受爭議的「例外狀態」下遭拘留者的親屬，週六聚集在聖薩爾瓦多都會大教堂，為死於獄中的囚犯留下祭品，並要求伸張正義。SAN SALVADOR, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Relatives of people detained under El Salvador's controversial state of exception gathered at the San Salvador metropolitan cathedral on Saturday to leave offerings for inmates who have died behind bars, demanding justice.

參與者帶著黃花、紅花、布條，以及入獄親人的照片到場。在首都的大教堂內，他們圍繞聖人奧斯卡・阿努爾福・羅梅洛總主教的墓跪下祈禱，並在墓前獻花。Participants arrived carrying yellow and red flowers, banners and photographs of jailed family members. Inside the capital's cathedral, they knelt in prayer around the tomb of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, a saint, and placed flowers there.

在大教堂階梯上，這群人舉行集會悼念死者，並追念仍被羈押的親屬。許多在場人士自親人被捕後，就再也沒有與遭拘留的親人聯繫；在某些情況下，他們甚至不知道親人是否仍然活著。On the cathedral steps, the group held a rally honoring the dead and remembering relatives still in custody. Many of those present have had no contact with their detained relatives since their arrest, and - in some cases - do not know whether their relatives are still alive.

61歲的娜塔莉亞・富內斯是來自東部烏蘇盧坦省特里溫福港的農民。她出席活動，是希望尋求關於入獄兒子的答案。她的兒子奧斯卡・奧蘭多・羅德里格斯於2022年7月被捕，此後一直處於音訊隔絕的羈押狀態。Natalia Funes, 61, a farmer from Puerto El Triunfo in the eastern province of Usulutan, attended in hopes of seeking answers about her jailed son. Her son, Oscar Orlando Rodriguez, was arrested in July 2022 and has been held incommunicado since.

富內斯說：「我是一個心碎的母親，一個從未再見過我兒子的母親。我是一個從未再見過他們的臉、也沒有他們消息的母親。」"I am a distraught mother, a mother who has never seen my son. I am a mother who has never seen their face or heard from them," Funes said.

薩爾瓦多總統納伊布・布克萊4年前實施例外狀態，使安全部隊得以拘留超過9萬人。El Salvador's state of exception, imposed by President Nayib Bukele four years ago, has allowed security forces to detain more than 90,000 people.

知名人權組織Cristosal已記錄，在例外狀態下遭拘留的人士中，有454人死於薩爾瓦多監獄。Cristosal, a prominent human rights organization, has documented 454 deaths in Salvadoran prisons among people detained under the state of exception.

許多仍遭拘留者的親屬擔心，自己的摯愛會成為這項統計中令人不願見到的新增數字。Many relatives of those still detained fear their loved ones will become an unwanted addition to the statistic.

抗議者利用數個拉丁美洲國家於11月1日和2日舉行的亡靈節，追念那些死於獄中的人，同時也呼籲讓仍被關押的被拘留者獲得公平審判。Protesters used the Day of the Dead, observed on November 1 and 2 across several Latin American countries, to remember those who died behind bars, and also called for fair trials for detainees who remain jailed.

「自由母親」運動發言人、44歲的莉莉安娜・烏里亞斯表示，該運動的一些成員失去了兒子、兄弟，或孩子的父親。Liliana Urias, 44, spokeswoman for the Mothers for Freedom movement, said some members of the movement had lost a son, a brother or the father of their children.

烏里亞斯說：「我們在這裡，是為了紀念所有在例外狀態下死去的無辜者。」"We are here in memory of all the innocent people who have died under the state of exception," Urias said.
