Marina Zolotova

“Ms. Zolotova is the editor-in-chief of Tut.By, the largest independent online news portal in Belarus,3 a country dominated by state and state-affiliated media.”

报告明确其身份为 Tut.By 总编辑；不凭后来其他案件信息扩充此次报告。

“In August 2018, Ms. Zolotova and at least 17 other journalists were arrested and detained on suspicion of sharing passwords to paywalled content from BeLTA, a state-run news agency: BeLTA imposed paywalls on its website articles for five to ten minutes, after which it granted public access.”

2018 年 8 月逮捕背景是涉嫌共享付费内容密码；“涉嫌”不能改成既定犯罪事实。

“Following the investigation, the authorities dropped criminal charges against all journalists excepting Ms. Zolotova , imposing administrative fines instead. The prosecution of Ms. Zolotova, however, went forward.”

刑事指控被撤并改行政罚款的是其他记者；Zolotova 的起诉继续，不能串接为她已撤案。

“According to Ms. Zolotova, she did not request counsel during her initial interrogation and was questioned without a lawyer.”

无律师在场的初次讯问是 Zolotova 自己的叙述，且报告说她当时没有请求律师；不改写为律师明确被拒绝进入。

“The proceedings, held before the Zavodskiy Rayon District Court in Minsk ,24 lasted approximately two weeks, concluding on February 25, 2019 with Ms. Zolotova’s conviction and the imposition of a fine of approximately 3400 euros.”

报告记录 2019-02-25 定罪并罚款约 3400 欧元；前文最高五年监禁并非实际判罚。

“In advance of the proceedings, the Center sent a letter notifying the court of the monitoring. The monitors did not experience any impediments in entering the courtroom.”

ABA 人权中心先函告法院将开展监测，监测员进入法庭未遇阻；不能因此推断全部过程公开。

“Hearings took place every day from February 12 to February 19 and the trial concluded with the announcement of the judgment on February 25. Monitors were present for the entirety of the proceedings excepting a closed session on February 18 (when witnesses’ personal phone communications were discussed).”

监测员观察审判，但未参加 2 月 18 日的闭门部分；保留覆盖范围。

“The Zavodskiy Rayon District Court convicted Ms. Zolotova but has yet to publish its judgment.”

截至报告该段，法院尚未公开判决理由；不是尚未宣告定罪。

“In the present case, th e court read out the guilty verdict and sentence on February 25, 2019, with no explanation of how it had reached its decision. It is now July 26, 2019.”

原文明确写当前日期为 2019-07-26，因此事实截至日期与封面出版月份分别保留。

“While the coming elections are seemingly heightening the risks faced by independent media, they are also an opportunity for Belarus to chart a new course and ensure that outlets such as Tut. By can operate freely.”

作者呼吁白俄罗斯保障独立媒体自由运作；这是原则性建议，不是法院已撤销 Zolotova 定罪。
