新西兰就该国第一个间谍罪定罪案提出更严厉判决的军事呼吁。 New Zealand military appeals for harsher sentence in the country's first espionage conviction case.

新西兰军方对一名因企图从事间谍活动而被判有罪的士兵提出上诉,称其“明显不足”。 New Zealand's military has appealed a two-year sentence for a soldier convicted of attempted espionage, calling it "manifestly inadequate." 这标志着该国第一次对间谍活动定罪。 This marks the country's first spying conviction. 该士兵承认试图进行间谍活动,不诚实地进入计算机系统,并持有令人反感的材料。 The soldier admitted to attempting to spy, accessing a computer system dishonestly, and possessing objectionable material. 军方主张更严厉的刑罚,最高法律处罚为7年。 The military argues for a harsher sentence, with the maximum legal penalty being seven years. 这名士兵自2019年被捕以来一直领取全薪,现在将按以前的一半工资支付,直到被解职。 The soldier, who had remained on full pay since his arrest in 2019, will now be paid at half his previous rate until his dismissal.
