1 | Ukraine: “Ashes of Freedom of Speech” | Okraina: “Ireo Lavenon'ny Fahalalahana Miteny” |
2 | A few hundred people gathered [uk] at Kyiv's Independence Square on September 16, 2012, to honor the memory of Georgiy Gongadze, a Ukrainian journalist who disappeared on this day 12 years ago, and also more than 60 other journalists who have lost their lives in the years since Ukraine gained independence in 1991. | Olona an-jatony vitsivitsy no nifamory [uk] tao amin'ny Kianjan'ny Fahaleovantena tao Kyiv ny 16 Sept. teo mba hanme voninahitra ny fahatsiarovana an'i Georgiy Gongadze, Okrainiana iray mpanao gazety izay nanjavona tamin'io andro io, 12 taona lasa izay, ary ireo mpanao gazety maro hafa maherin'ny 60 namoy ny ainy nandritra ny taona maro nahazoan'i Okraina ny fahaleovantenany tamin'ny 1991 |
3 | The participants of the memorial rally lit candles and stood around white paper boxes that had the names of the dead journalists written on them, as well as the words “honor,” “honesty,” “truth,” and “freedom of speech” (photo [uk] by Andriy Balan/@Andriy7MU). | |
4 | Later, they set the boxes on fire (photo [uk] by Andriy Balan/@Andriy7MU), and also burned posters [uk] with portraits of the ex-President Leonid Kuchma and his former aide, Parliament Speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn, who are believed to have played a crucial role in Gongadze's disappearance. | Nandrehitra labozia ireo mpandray anjara tamin'ilay famoriam-bahoaka sady nitsangana nanodidina boaty vita tamin'ny taratasy fotsy nisy ny anaran'ireo mpanao gazety rehetra maty voasoratra tamin'ny lafiny, hatramin'ny teny hoe “voninahitra,” “fahamendrehana,” “fahamarinana,” ary “fahalalahana miteny” (sary [uk] an'i Andriy Balan/@Andriy7MU) Georgiy Gongadze memorial rally of 2011. |

7 | | Taty aoriana kely, narehitry ry zareo ireo boaty (sary [uk] avy amin'i Andriy Balan/@Andriy7MU), ary koa nandoro saribe [uk] misy ny sarin'ny Filoha teo aloha Leonid Kuchma sy ny lefiny, ny Filohan'ny Parlemanta Volodymyr Lytvyn, izay ninoana fa nanana andraikitra goavana notànana tamin'ireo fanjavonana tao Gongadze ireo. |
8 | Leaving behind the symbolic “ashes of freedom of speech,” the people then marched uphill from Independence Square to the Presidential Administration compound, to demand a proper investigation of Gongadze's disappearance case. | Namela ho any aoriany ireo mari-pamantaran'ny “lavenon'ny fahalalahana miteny,” nanao diabe ny olona nony avy eo niakatra avy teo amin'ny Kianjan'ny Fahaleovantena ho any amin'ny foiben-toeran'ny Fandraharahan'ny Filoha, mba hitaky fanadihadiana mazava momba ireo trangam-panjavonana tao Gongadze. |

10 | It's been 12 years, and the real guilty ones haven't been punished. | 12 taona izao, ary dia mbola tsy misy voasazy foana ireo tena tompon'andraikitra. |
11 | Moreover, some of them are still around at the political arena. […] | Ankoatra izay, ny sasany amin'izy ireny aza mbola ao anatin'ny sehatry ny politika hatrany. […] |
12 | A Kyiv residents' online community @Kyi_Net tweeted [uk]: | Vondrom-piarahamonina irey ety anaty aterineto ahitàna ireo mponina ao Kyiv ny @Kyi_Net no nibitsika hoe [uk]: |
13 | […] The initial agreement was [to march] without any slogans, but people are chanting [along the way]: “Kuchma - to jail!”, “Freedom - to speech!”, “Out with the gang!” […] | […] Ny fifanarahana niaingana dia [hanao diabe] tsy misy teny faneva, saingy ny olona dia nihiaka [nanerana ny làlana]: “Kuchma - gadrao!”, “Fahalalahana- miteny!”, “Miala daholo ny jiolahimboto !” […] |
14 | Olha Perekhrest (LJ user olli_grafomanka) posted photos from the memorial rally on her blog and wrote [uk]: | Olha Perekhrest (olli_grafomanka, mpampiasa LJ) dia nampakatra sary ho ao amin'ny bilaoginy avy amin'ilay famoriam-bahoaka ho fahatsiarovana ary nanoratra hoe [uk] : |
15 | […] It's the evening when one is thinking, “God forbid that my friends become political journalists.” | […] Izao no ilay takariva isaintsainan'ny olona hoe, “Raràn'Andriamanitra tsy ho lasa mpanao gazety ara-politika ny akàmako.” |
16 | The names of those who had died were read. | Novakiana ny anaran'ireo namoy ny ainy. |
17 | [Was found] hung, burnt alive, traces of injections on the body, a [contract killing], knife wounds, head wounds… People should not be dying because they are doing their job well. People should not be dying because of their profession. | [Hita] nihantona, nodorana velona, dian-tsindrona teny amin'ny vatany, [natao taminà fifanarahana hamono olona], ratra noho ny tsindron'antsy, ratra teny amin'ny loha… Tsy misy olona tokony ho faty satria hoe nanatanteraka ny asany. |
18 | We lit candles. | Nandrehitra labozia izahay. |
19 | Put flowers to the ashes of the freedom of speech. | Nametraka voninkazo teo amin'ny lavenon'ny fahalalahana miteny. |
20 | A minute of silence. | Iray minitra fahanginana. |
21 | But silence hung over Maidan [Independence Square] anyway. | Saingy fahanginana lalina no nameno an'i Maidan [Kianjan'ny Fahaleovantena] na izany aza. |
22 | Only the metallic noises from the dismantling of the stage where a concert was held yesterday. | Ny feon'ireo metaly nesorina tamin'ny sehatra avy nanaovana fampisehoana natao ny omalin'io sisa no hany re. |
23 | Life went on outside the circle of the people [who came to the rally]. | Nitohy ny fiainana tany ivelan'ny faribolan'ireo olona [tonga ho amin'ilay famoriam-bahoaka]. |
24 | Some approached, asking what was going on. | Ny sasany nanatona, nanontany izay zava-mitranga. |
25 | Some stayed. | Ny sasany niato teo. |
26 | The names and faces were being burnt. | Lanin'ny afo ireo endrika sy anarana. |
27 | And this cold metallic sound… | Ary ity feom-by mampangoritsina ity… |
28 | Freedom of speech the Ukrainian way - to come and yell at the wall. | Fahalalahana miteny amin'ny fomba Okrainiana - tonga ary mikiakiaka amin'ny rindrina. |
29 | But it's worth it to come and yell. | Saingy ilaina ny tonga sy mikiakiaka. |
30 | At least to be able to hear yourself. | Farafaharatsiny mba afaka mihaino ny akon'ny feonao ihany ianao. |
