一 | A Russian court on Monday ordered a Russian-American journalist who was detained last week on charges of failing to register as a foreign agent to remain in custody until early December, her employer reported.Alsu Kurmasheva, an editor for the U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Tatar-Bashkir service, appeared in a closed session in a court in the city of Kazan, the capital of the Tatarstan republic.The radio service said the court ordered her to be held until Dec. 5, rejecting her lawyer's request for preventive measures other than incarceration.She is the second U.S. journalist detained in Russia this year, after Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was arrested on espionage charges in March. Gershkovich remains in custody.The state-run news website Tatar-Inform said Kurmasheva faces charges of failing to register as a “foreign agent” and was collecting information on Russian military activities. Conviction would carry a sentence of up to five years in prison.Kurmasheva, who lives in Prague, was stopped June 2 at Kazan International Airport after traveling to Russia for a family emergency May 20, according to RFE/RL.Airport officials confiscated her U.S. and Russian passports and she was fined for failing to register her U.S. passport. She was waiting for her passports to be returned when the new charge was filed Wednesday, RFE/RL said.RFE/RL was told by Russian authorities in 2017 to register as a foreign agent, but it has challenged Moscow’s use of foreign agent laws in the European Court of Human Rights. The organization has been fined millions of dollars by Russia.The Committee to Protect Journalists called the charges against Kurmasheva “spurious,” saying her detention “is yet more proof that Russia is determined to stifle independent reporting.”Kurmasheva reported on ethnic minority communities in the Tatarstan and Bashkortostan republics in Russia, including projects to preserve the Tatar language and culture, her employer said.Gershkovich and The Wall Street Journal deny the allegations against him, and the U.S. government has declared him to be wrongfully detained.Russian authorities haven’t detailed any evidence to support the charges. Court proceedings against him are closed because prosecutors say details of the case are classified.。 联合国安理会21日对角逐下任联合国秘书长职务的候选人进行第二轮意向性投票。
二 | 与首轮投票相比，本轮候选人增至8人。 当天，投票在安理会磋商室闭门进行。投票过程中，所有安理会成员使用相同颜色的选票，选票上每位候选人的名字后有“鼓励”“劝阻”和“不发表意见”三个选项。投票结束后，拉脱维亚和俄罗斯负责计票。 安理会本月轮值主席、丹麦常驻联合国代表拉森对媒体表示，第二轮意向性投票结果不对外公布，投票结果将由各候选人的推举国向本人通报。 按照惯例，联合国秘书长遴选过程将进行多轮意向性投票。虽然前期意向性投票结果不对外公布，但相关投票情况历来备受关注。候选人在得知投票结果后，可据此评估自身支持情况，并决定是否继续参选。外界则可借此研判遴选进程的发展方向。 本月17日，汤加推举一位来自厄瓜多尔的外交官参选下任联合国秘书长。目前，角逐这一职务的候选人共8位，他们分别是：厄瓜多尔外交官伊沃内·巴基、智利前总统米歇尔·巴切莱特、来自厄瓜多尔的联大前主席玛丽亚·费尔南达·埃斯皮诺萨、来自阿根廷的现任国际原子能机构总干事拉斐尔·格罗西、来自哥斯达黎加的现任联合国贸易和发展会议秘书长蕾韦卡·格林斯潘、来自乌干达的联合国前副秘书长奥拉拉·奥通努、圭亚那现任常驻联合国代表卡罗琳·罗德里格斯-伯基特、塞内加尔前总统麦基·萨勒。 根据《联合国宪章》，联合国秘书长的产生首先必须由安理会推荐，然后由联合国大会任命。 现任联合国秘书长古特雷斯的任期将于今年12月31日届满。下任联合国秘书长遴选于去年11月启动，整个过程预计将持续至今年9月或10月，直至安理会就最终人选形成一致意见。（记者 王帆）。
