加拿大遣返携带未成年人色情信息的中国游客

The Embassy of China in Canada confirmed in a statement on its official website Monday that Chinese citizens have been deported for having pornographic pictures or videos of children on their cellphones or laptops.

中国驻加拿大使馆周一在其官方网站发表声明表示，近日有中国公民在入境加拿大时，因个人手机或笔记本电脑上存有未成年人色情图片或视频而被遣返回国。

An official account "iask-ca" on the WeChat social network, claimed Sunday that two Chinese students who were separately trying to enter the country were recently deported by Canadian customs for having child pornography on their mobile phones.

一个名为“iask CA”的微信官方公众号声称，周日两个试图进入加拿大的中国学生被海关驱逐出境，因为在他们的手机上发现了未成年人色情信息。

According to iask-ca, Canadian customs found obscene content in the two students' WeChat, a messaging app.

根据iask-ca表示，加拿大海关发现这两位学生的社交APP微信上有淫秽内容。

Meanwhile, the Chinese embassy statement did not specifically confirm the truth of these two cases. The embassy warned Chinese citizens who plan to come to Canada to delete sensitive or illegal content on their phones, computers or hard disks before traveling.

同时，中国大使馆的声明并未明确确认这两起案件的真相。大使馆提醒那些打算到加拿大旅行的中国公民，在来之前要删除他们的手机、电脑或硬盘上的敏感或非法内容。

According to Canadian laws, persons who make, possess, distribute, or access child pornography can be sentenced to a jail term of between six months and 14 years.

加拿大法律规定，凡制作、持有、传播或浏览涉及未成年人色情信息的人员，将被判处6个月至14年的监禁。

While many on Chinese social media questioned whether Customs officials violated passengers' privacy by going through their phones, but according to Canada Border Services Agency's code of conduct, Customs officers have the right to search passengers' electronic devices.

国内社交媒体上许多网友质疑加拿大海关人员查看乘客手机是否侵犯隐私，但依照加拿大边境服务局行为规范，海关人员有权搜查乘客的电子设备。
