特赦! 法國總統奧朗德赦免殺夫兇手!

A French woman who was convicted for murdering her allegedly abusive husband has been released from jail after a complete pardon from President Francois Hollande.

法國一名女子因不堪家暴殺死了自己的丈夫，在受到總統弗朗索瓦·奧朗德的赦免之後，她重獲了自由。

"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 last Wednesday.

奧朗德上週三在推特上發文道：“我決定赦免傑奎琳·索維奇，她將被立即釋放，免除餘下刑期。”

Within hours of the announcement, Sauvage was seen leaving the Reau prison in southeastern Paris.

在這一命令公佈數小時之後，索維奇就離開了巴黎東南部的雷歐監獄。

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.

在結婚40年後，現年69歲的索維奇在2012年殺死了她的酒鬼、虐待狂丈夫諾伯特·默羅德，她用一把獵槍在他的背上開了三槍。

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. The petition had collected more than 400,000 signatures.

在索維奇入獄後，她的三個女兒請願釋放她，使得該案件在法國鬧得沸沸揚揚，引起了公衆對家庭暴力的關注。這份請願書共收集到了超過40萬份簽名。

Hollande issued a partial pardon at the end of January, but the courts had rejected applications for her release.

奧朗德曾在去年一月底發佈了一項部分赦免命令，但是法院拒絕釋放她。

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.

據愛麗捨宮的一份聲明稱，做出完全赦免命令的奧朗德總統決定，“索維奇應該待的地方不再是監獄，而是和她的家人在一起”。
