Dozens of individuals held in a sprawling Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas have stated in a new report released by legal and human rights advocacy groups that they were either beaten by guards or witnessed others being beaten.

テキサス州にある広大な移民税関捜査局(ICE)施設に収容されている数十人の人々が、警備員に殴打された他の人が殴打されるのを目撃した法律および人権擁護団体が発表した新しい報告書で述べている

An 84-page report jointly released on Wednesday by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union states that men and women held at Camp East Montana on Fort Bliss, a U.S. Army base in El Paso, Texas, testified that they were denied necessary medical care, forced to live in unsanitary conditions, and given inedible food.

水曜日にヒューマン・ライツ・ウォッチアメリカ自由人権協会共同で発表した84ページの報告書は、テキサス州エルパソの米陸軍フォート・ブリスにあるキャンプ・イースト・モンタナ収容されている男性と女性が、必要な医療を拒否され不衛生な環境での生活を強制され摂取不能な食事を与えられた証言したとしている

It also states that detainees were obstructed from contacting their lawyers and families.

また被拘束者は弁護士や家族との連絡を妨害されたとも述べている

According to the report, of the 71 detainees contacted over a five-month period, 64 (approximately 90% of those interviewed) testified that they had either been assaulted by staff or had witnessed other detainees being subjected to physical abuse.

報告書によると5か月間にわたって連絡を取った71人の被拘束者うち64人面談者の約90%)が、自身が職員に暴行されたか、他の被拘束者が身体的虐待を受けるのを目撃したと証言している

"ICE's Camp East Montana is a humanitarian catastrophe," stated Angelica Cesar, the lead researcher for this report and a fellow at Human Rights Watch and the ACLU.

「ICEのキャンプ・イースト・モンタナは人道上の壊滅的事態である」本報告書の主任研究者でありヒューマン・ライツ・ウォッチおよびACLUのフェローを務めるアンヘリカ・セサールは述べた

"The US government should immediately close the facility, conduct an independent investigation into all cases of abuse and death, and put an end to mass deportations and coercive immigration detention policies."

「米国政府は直ちに当該施設を閉鎖しあらゆる虐待および死亡事例に関して独立した調査を実施するとともに大規模な国外追放と強制的な移民収容政策を終焉させるべきである。」

The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement, asserting that reports of inhumane conditions in the desert tent camp were "completely false," that detainees were not beaten or mistreated, and that "ICE takes the health and safety of all those in its custody seriously."

国土安全保障省声明を発表し砂漠のテントキャンプにおける非人道的な状況報告は「完全に虚偽」であり、被拘束者殴打されたり虐待されたりすることはなく、「ICE収容下にあるすべての人健康と安全を真剣に受け止めている」と述べた。

New testimonies regarding violence and deplorable living conditions within Camp East Montana align with what has previously been reported by journalists and other parties.

Since the facility opened in August, at least three detainees have died, including a 55-year-old Cuban immigrant who was restrained and handcuffed by guards earlier this year, after which he stopped breathing.

同施設8月に開設されて以来少なくとも3人の被拘束者死亡しておりその中には今年初めに警備員に押さえつけられて手錠をかけられ呼吸を停止した55歳のキューバ人移民も含まれている。

The local coroner later ruled the death a homicide, and a federal report released last month stated that evidence in the case had been "lost or destroyed."

地元の検視官後にその死殺人と断定し先月発表された連邦報告書は、この事件の証拠が「紛失または破壊されたと述べた

The report by the Government Accountability Office asserts that mismanagement by the Department of Homeland Security created unsafe conditions, contributing to the deaths and suffering of detainees, while millions of dollars in wasted tax revenue enriched contractors.

政府説明責任局によるその報告書は、国土安全保障省の管理不備安全でない状況を生み出し被拘束者の死亡と苦痛に寄与した一方で、何百万ドルもの無駄な税金請負業者を潤したとしている

In March, ICE replaced Acquisition Logistics, LLC, the primary contractor that had secured contracts worth up to $1.3 billion the previous year for the construction and management of the camp.

3月ICEキャンプの建設と管理のために昨年最大13億ドルの契約獲得した主要請負業者であるAcquisition Logistics, LLC交代させた

The camp was originally intended to accommodate up to 5,000 people.

このキャンプ元々最大5,000人収容する予定だった。

This Virginia-based company had no prior experience in operating ICE detention facilities, no track record of securing federal contracts exceeding $16 million, and did not even have a functional website.

バージニア州のこの企業は、ICE収容施設の運営経験皆無であり1,600万ドルを超える連邦契約獲得した実績もなく機能的なウェブサイトすら有していなかった

This change was implemented after an internal ICE review documented 49 deficienciesdefined as violations of detention standards or policiesin areas such as use of force, restraints, security, and medical care.

この変更はICE内部のレビューにより力の行使や拘束、セキュリティ、医療などの分野で49件の欠陥収容基準または方針の違反と定義される)が文書化された後に行われた

Despite the change in contractors, interviews conducted last month by Human Rights Watch and the ACLU revealed that serious problems at the camp persist.

請負業者の変更にもかかわらず先月ヒューマン・ライツ・ウォッチACLUが実施したインタビューでは、キャンプでの深刻な問題が継続していることが明らかになった

According to the report, detainees provided detailed accounts of degrading and inhumane living conditions, including bathrooms contaminated with excrement, waterlogged living quarters, and a complete lack of access to soap and other basic hygiene items.

報告書によると被拘束者は排泄物で汚染された浴室水浸しの居住区画石鹸やその他の基本的な衛生用品へのアクセスが皆無であるなど、屈辱的かつ非人道的な生活環境について詳細に語った

Furthermore, they reported being confined indoors for weeks on end, with no meaningful access to recreation, sunlight, or fresh air.

さらに数週間にわたって屋内に監禁されレクリエーション、日光、新鮮な空気への有意義なアクセスが一切ない報告した

People also mentioned spoiled food and an inconsistent meal schedule, with intervals between meals sometimes stretching up to twelve hours.

人々はまた腐敗した食事一貫性を欠く食事スケジュールについて言及し食事の間隔最大12時間に及ぶこともあった

The report states that guards beat detainees in response to hunger strikes, requests for medical treatment, and complaints about detention conditions.

報告書は警備員がハンガーストライキ医療処置の要請収容条件に関する苦情に応じて被拘束者を殴打した述べている

According to multiple sources, guards imposed collective punishment and beat or assaulted several individuals after accusing one detainee of violating the rules.

複数の情報源によると警備員は集団罰を課し1人の被拘束者が規則に違反した非難した後複数の人殴打または暴行したという。

Researchers revealed that staff exerted pressure on detainees, compelling them to abandon their immigration applications and, if they could not return to their home countries, to accept transfer to a third country.

研究者らは職員が被収容者に対して圧力をかけ移民申請の放棄を強要し母国に戻れない場合には第三国への移送を受け入れさせたことを明らかにした

Detainees testified that they were threatened with violence, criminal prosecution, and indefinite detention if they refused deportation.

被拘束者らは国外退去を拒否すれば暴力刑事訴追無期限の収容で脅された証言している

The report concluded that, under certain circumstances, detention by ICE may constitute enforced disappearance and could violate international human rights law.

報告書は状況によってはICEによる収容が強制失踪に該当し国際人権法に違反する可能性がある結論づけた

Human Rights Watch and the ACLU demanded that the Trump administration close Camp East Montana and permit an independent investigation into deaths, excessive use of force, medical neglect, and enforced disappearances that occurred during detention.

ヒューマン・ライツ・ウォッチACLUは、トランプ政権に対し、キャンプ・イースト・モンタナ閉鎖し収容中に発生した死亡事例過剰な武力行使医療怠慢、ならびに強制失踪に関する独立した調査を許可するよう要求した。

"The abuses documented at Fort Bliss are a predictable outcome of the Trump administration's mass deportation plan, the brutal expansion of immigrant detention, and the erosion of federal oversight mechanisms," stated César, the lead researcher.

フォート・ブリスで記録された虐待はトランプ政権の大規模国外追放計画移民収容の残忍な拡大連邦監視メカニズムの侵食による予測可能な結果です」と、主たる研究者のセサールは述べた

"The people at Camp East Montana are human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity and protected from harm."

キャンプ・イースト・モンタナの人々は尊厳をもって扱われ、危害から保護されるに値する人間です。」
