法国一名女子因不堪家暴杀死了自己的丈夫,在受到总统奥朗德的赦免之后,她重获了自由。
"I have decided to grant Jacqueline Sauvage a pardon of the rest of her sentence. this pardon puts an immediate end to her detention," Francois Hollande tweeted on Wednesday.
本周三奥朗德在推特上发文说道:“我决定赦免杰奎琳·索维奇剩余的刑期。这一赦免将立即结束她的拘留。”
Within hours of the announcement, Sauvage was seen leaving the Reau prison in southeastern Paris.
在这一命令公布数小时之后,索维奇就离开了巴黎东南部雷欧监狱。
Now aged 69, Sauvage killed her allegedly alcoholic and abusive husband, Norbert Marot, by shooting him three times in the back with a hunting rifle in 2012, after a marriage of over 40 years. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
在结婚40年过后,现年69岁的索维奇在2012年杀死了她的酒鬼、虐待狂丈夫诺伯特·默罗德,索维奇用一把猎枪在他背上开了三枪。
Three daughters of Sauvage launched a petition for her release after her imprisonment, making the case a cause celebre in France and drawing public attention to the issue of domestic violence.
在索维奇入狱后,她的三个女儿请愿释放她,使得该案件在法国闹得沸沸扬扬,引起了公众对家庭暴力的关注。
The petition had collected more than 400,000 signatures.
这份请愿书收集到了超过40万份签名。
Hollande issued a partial pardon at the end of January, but the courts had rejected applications for her release.
奥朗德曾在一月底发布了一项部分赦免命令,但是法院拒绝释放她。
With the complete pardon, the president decided that "the place of Ms. Sauvage was no longer in prison, but with her family," said a statement of the Elysee Palace.
据爱丽舍宫一份声明称,在做出完全赦免命令之后,总统奥朗德觉得“索维奇应该待的地方不再是监狱,而是和她的家人在一起”。
