A | STRASBOURG, France -- Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman who died in police custody in Iran last year, sparking worldwide protests against the country’s conservative Islamic theocracy, was awarded the European Union’s top human rights prize on Thursday.The EU award, named for Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, was created in 1988 to honor individuals or groups who defend human rights and fundamental freedoms. Sakharov, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, died in 1989.Other finalists this year included Vilma Núñez de Escorcia and Roman Catholic Bishop Rolando Álvarez — two emblematic figures in the fight for the defense of human rights in Nicaragua — and a trio of women from Poland, El Salvador and the United States leading a fight for “free, safe and legal abortion.”Amini died on Sept. 16, 2022, after she was arrested for allegedly violating Iran’s mandatory headscarf law. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said that day will “live in infamy,” adding that her ”brutal murder" marked a turning point.“It has triggered a women-led movement that is making history,” she said as she announced the awarding of the prize to Amini and the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in Iran.“The world has heard the chants of ‘Women, Life, Liberty.' Three words that have become a rallying cry for all those standing up for equality, for dignity and for freedom in Iran," Metsola said. Women have played a leading role in the protests, with many publicly removing the compulsory Islamic headscarf, known as the hijab.The 27-nation EU has imposed sanctions on Iranian officials and organizations — including ministers, military officers and Iran’s morality police — for human rights abuses over the protests.“We stand with those who, even from prison, continue to keep women, life and freedom alive,” Metsola said. "By choosing them as laureates for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought 2023, this House remembers their struggle and continues to honor all those who have paid the ultimate price for liberty.ʺAmini died three days after she was arrested by Iran’s morality police. While authorities said she suffered a heart attack, Amini’s supporters said she was beaten by police and died as a result of her injuries.Her death triggered protests that spread across the country and rapidly escalated into calls for the overthrow of Iran’s four-decade-old Islamic theocracy.Authorities responded with a violent crackdown in which more than 500 people were killed and over 22,000 others were detained, according to rights groups. The demonstrations largely died down early this year, but there are still widespread signs of discontent. For several months, women could be seen openly flaunting the headscarf rule in Tehran and other cities, prompting a renewed crackdown over the summer.The award ceremony will take place on Dec. 13.Last year's prize was awarded to the people of Ukraine and their representatives for their resistance to Russia’s invasion and defiance during the ongoing war.___This story corrects the spelling of the winner's name to Mahsa instead of Masha.。 当地时间1月14日，美国洛杉矶县方面表示，洛杉矶山火已造成至少25人死亡。此外，有超过1.2万栋建筑被毁，超过155.4平方公里的土地被烧毁。央视记者在山火灾区看到，一街之隔，却是两番景象。视频加载中...央视记者 刘骁骞：在洛杉矶山火重灾区帕利塞德，我发现一个很奇怪的现象，和废墟仅仅一路之隔的地方，这些建筑却保存非常完好，似乎完全没有受到山火的影响。难道说大火在蔓延的时候特意绕过了这些地方吗？其实这些高档的商铺是“帕利塞德村购物中心”。根据美国主流媒体的披露，当地时间7日晚、8日凌晨山火蔓延后，购物中心的地产拥有者紧急地从相邻的亚利桑那州调来了一支私人救火队。几天前，洛杉矶消防部门还否认过私人救火队的作业，但这个说法很快不攻自破，而且雇佣私人消防服务的情况并不局限于购物中心这一家。这些水车都是私人租赁的，每一辆都装有12吨左右的水。它们就这样停在街边，随时待命。
B | 在美国，正常情况下，雇佣私人消防服务一般要通过消防部门或者保险公司，很少会直接和顾客对接。服务收费也很昂贵，能达到每小时2000美元。这个事件曝光后，很多洛杉矶居民，特别是那些在火灾中失去家园的受害者非常愤怒，又很无奈，还有什么比“有钱能让山火‘绕道’”更能体现社会的不公呢？同时，他们更想知道，如果私人消防队能阻止山火，为什么城市的消防队却做不到呢？还有更多疑问浮出水面，消防部门反馈，他们在救火时发现百分之二十的消火栓都没有水，或者水压太低。这个情况和当时私人消防队的作业有没有关系？同时，这些私家救火车的出现是否阻碍了民众的撤离和官方消防队的及时进入？这些恐怕都是下一个阶段加州政府必须调查的问题。（央视记者 刘骁骞）©2025中央广播电视总台版权所有。未经许可，请勿转载使用。责任编辑：潘晨。
