美國將巴格拉姆監獄移交阿富汗

The United States has formally handed over control of a controversial prison to the Afghan government, despite a disagreement about the fate of some of the inmates.

More than 3,000 prisoners were transferred to Afghan officials in a small ceremony Monday at the Bagram prison. The transfer of authority over the prison and its inmates has been hailed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai as a victory for sovereignty.

U.S. military officials said earlier they had already handed over most of the detainees. However, officials said they had suspended additional transfers because of concerns about the intentions of the Afghan government to fulfill the terms of a memorandum of understanding signed in March.

It was not immediately clear what those concerns are, but they seem to have emerged after a meeting Saturday between President Karzai and General John Allen, the top commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan.儘管圍繞如何處置某些囚犯的問題仍然存在分歧，美國已正式將一座有爭議的監獄交由阿富汗政府控制。

星期一，在巴格拉姆監獄舉行的小型交接儀式上，三千多名在押犯被移交給阿富汗官員。阿富汗總統卡爾扎伊讚揚這一舉措，稱其爲阿富汗維護主權的勝利。

美國軍方官員之前曾經表示，他們已經將大部分囚犯移交給了阿富汗，但是由於對阿富汗政府履行3月簽署的備忘錄的意願感到擔憂，所以停止了進一步移交囚犯。

目前還不清楚聯軍的擔憂究竟是什麼，但聯軍方面的顧慮看上來是上星期六阿富汗總統卡爾扎伊和美國與北約駐阿富汗聯軍司令艾倫將軍舉行會談後出現的。
