两名来自瑞典的电影制作人，Linus Anderson和Henrik Evertson，被判违反MS Estonia沉船所在地的神圣性。

据报道，MS Estonia于1994年在波罗的海沉没，852人丧生。

哥德堡地区法院按电影制作人的收入比例征收罚款。

制片人Evertsson被处以2000美元，而负责潜水设备的Anderson则必须支付1800美元。

据报道，2019年，作为探索频道纪录片的一部分，这些制片人在爱沙尼亚号沉没的海域放下了一个由***操作的潜水器。

两人当时正在拍摄一部关于沉船的纪录片，并调查公众所知的最初沉船原因是否属实。

然而，事实证明，摄制组在船体上发现了一个巨大的洞，这让人们对之前的调查产生了怀疑。

1997年，一项官方调查裁定，受损的船首护盾淹没了汽车甲板。

然而，法官在审理此案时表示，沉船是许多人的坟墓，维护其神圣性至关重要。

爱沙尼亚是许多人的墓地，公众对维护其周围的和平有着强烈的关注度。

Goran Lundahl法官提到，保护逝者的尊严比保护信息和言论自由更重要。

爱沙尼亚号载有186名机组人员和803名乘客。

她在从塔林到斯德哥尔摩的途中沉没。

1995年，在决定不打捞沉船之后，瑞典、芬兰和爱沙尼亚同意将沉船所在地指定为墓地。

因此，任何扰乱现场的行为都是违法的。

由于德国尚未签署该协议，拍摄人员在国际水域使用一艘悬挂德国国旗的船，带着仪器到达现场。

因此，这两名瑞典人最初没有被追究责任。

然而，后来有人认为，“爱沙尼亚法律”将适用于这两人，因为他们来自瑞典。

虽然这两名电影制作人被罚款，但他们在纪录片中反映的调查结果迫使爱沙尼亚和瑞典对此案展开新的调查。

英文原文

Two filmmakers from Sweden, Linus Anderson and Henrik Evertson were found guilty of violating the grave sanctity where MS Estonia lay. MS Estonia reportedly sank in the Baltic Sea in 1994. In the incident, 852 individuals lost their lives.

The Gothenburg district court levied fines proportional to the income of the filmmakers. The production manager, Evertsson, has also been imposed a $2,000, while Anderson, in charge of the diving equipment, must pay $1,800.

In 2019, as part of a Discovery Networks documentary, these filmmakers reportedly lowered a submersible that was operated with a remote in the sea where the MS Estonia was submerged. The duo was working on a documentary on the vessel’s sinking and examining if the initial cause shared with the public was actual or not.

However, as it turns out, the film crew members found a massive hole in the vessel’s hull, raising doubts over the earlier investigations. In 1997, an official investigation ruled that the impaired bow shield had flooded the car deck.

The judge, however, hearing the case, stated that the shipwreck was a grave site for many people and safeguarding its sanctity was crucial.

There is a strong public interest in maintaining peace around MS Estonia, a burial ground for many. Judge Goran Lundahl mentioned that protecting the sanctity of the dead is more essential than protecting the *** of information and expression.

It is vital to note that MS Estonia carried 186 crew members and 803 passengers. It was en route from Tallinn to Stockholm when it sunk.

In 1995, Sweden, Finland, and Estonia agreed on designating the place where the ferry was lying as a grave site. This happened after they decided not to salvage the wreck. Hence, it became illegal to do anything that disturbed the site.

The filmmakers used a German-flagged ship in international waters to reach the spot with the instruments as Germany had not signed the accord.

Consequently, the two Swedes were not initially held accountable. However, it was later argued that ‘Estonia Law’ would apply to the duo as they were from Sweden.

While the two filmmakers have been fined, their findings reflected in the documentary have forced Estonia and Sweden to open a new examination of the case.

爱沙尼亚号（MS Estonia）是一艘爱沙尼亚籍客轮。

于1994年9月28日凌晨，在芬兰西南部波罗的海海域沉没。

当时船上载有989人，只有137人获救。

852人在灾难中丧生，其中501人是瑞典人。

2021年7月12日，瑞典电视台报道，爱沙尼亚号沉船事故调查委员会负责人雷内·阿里卡斯（René Arikas）证实，在爱沙尼亚号的船体上发现了两个以前未知的裂缝。

裂缝长10至15米，目前尚不清楚裂缝是发生在船只沉没之前还是之后。

这些裂缝是在爱沙尼亚号沉船现场正在进行的新调查中发现的。
