The United States government has officially criticized the United Kingdom's police practices following the fatal stabbing of Henry Nowak and his subsequent death while in police custody.

美國政府在亨利·諾瓦克被刺傷以及隨後在警方拘留期間死亡後，正式批評英國的警務做法。

The incident happened in December 2025 in Southampton, where 18-year-old student Henry Nowak was stabbed five times by Vickrum Digwa with a ceremonial knife. Although Nowak said he was injured, police handcuffed him because Digwa claimed he had been the victim of a racial attack. Video footage shows that officers ignored Nowak's reports of being stabbed and his breathing problems before he died. Consequently, Digwa was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, while his mother was found guilty of helping a criminal by hiding the weapon.

此事件發生於 2025 年 12 月的南安普頓，當時 18 歲的學生亨利·諾瓦克被維克魯姆·迪格瓦用一把禮儀刀刺了五次。雖然諾瓦克表示自己受傷，但警方仍將其逮捕並戴上手铐，因為迪格瓦聲稱自己是種族攻擊的受害者。影片片段顯示，警員在諾瓦克死亡前，無視他關於被刺傷以及呼吸困難的報告。最終，迪格瓦被裁定謀殺罪成，判處終身監禁，而其母親則因隱藏兇器協助犯罪被判定有罪。

This event has caused significant diplomatic tension. The US State Department described the incident as evidence of 'two-tiered policing' and a 'civilizational decline,' emphasizing that such ideological biases must be rejected in Western countries. Furthermore, Vice President JD Vance suggested that the death resulted from European leaders failing to stop mass migration. These views were supported by Senator Eric Schmitt and Elon Musk, who claimed that police prioritized racial accusations over physical injuries.

此事件引起了嚴重的外交緊張局勢。美國國務院將此事件形容為「雙軌警務」和「文明衰落」的證據，強調西方國家必須拒絕此類意識形態偏見。此外，副總統 JD 萬斯暗示，此次死亡事件源於歐洲領導人未能阻止大規模移民。這些觀點得到了參議員埃里克·施密特和馬斯克的支持，他們聲稱警方優先考慮種族指控而非身體傷勢。

In contrast, the British government has rejected the idea that there is a divided policing system. A spokesperson from Downing Street described the US comments as attempts to interfere in British democracy and create social division. Prime Minister Keir Starmer also condemned the aggressive language used by Nigel Farage, noting that the Nowak family asked for the tragedy not to be used to increase tension. Meanwhile, official investigations are currently examining the culture and performance of the Hampshire Constabulary.

相反地，英國政府否認存在分層的警務制度。唐寧街發言人將美國的評論形容為企圖干涉英國民主並製造社會分裂。首相基爾·斯塔默也譴責奈傑爾·法拉基所使用的激進語言，並指出諾瓦克家人要求不要將這場悲劇用於增加緊張局勢。與此同時，官方調查目前正在審查漢普郡警務處的文化與表現。

The situation remains tense due to the different perspectives between the Trump administration's criticism of Western institutions and the UK government's focus on national sovereignty and social unity.

由於川普政府對西方制度的批評，以及英國政府對國家主權與社會團結的重視，兩者觀點截然不同，局勢依然緊張。
