New Rules for Leaders in Prison
入獄領導人的新規定
Introduction
A group of lawmakers wants to change the law for government leaders who go to prison.
一群立法者希望修改關於政府領導人入獄的法律。
Main Body
The old law said a leader must leave their job after 30 days in prison. Some people did not like this. They thought it was unfair.
舊法規定領導人在獄中待滿 30 天後必須離職。有些人不喜歡這樣,認為這不公平。
Now, the group says leaders should have a 'pause' in their job instead. They do not lose the job forever. They wait for the judge to decide.
現在,該團體表示領導人的職務應該改為「暫停」。他們不會永遠失去工作,而是等待法官的裁定。
This rule is only for very bad crimes. These crimes have a prison time of five years or more. If the judge says the leader is not guilty, they get their job back.
這項規定僅適用於非常嚴重的罪行,即刑期五年或以上的罪行。如果法官裁定領導人無罪,他們即可恢復職位。
The group also wants special courts. These courts work fast. This helps leaders finish their legal problems quickly.
該團體還希望設立特別法院。這些法院運作迅速,有助於領導人快速解決法律問題。
Conclusion
The group wants to stop leaders from working in prison, but they also want to protect the leaders' rights.
該團體希望阻止領導人在獄中工作,但同時也想保護領導人的權利。
