中国因踩踏导致死亡监禁法国零售商家乐福雇员 (China Jails Employees of French Retailer Over Fatal Stampede)
 
中国官方媒体说，西部城市重庆一家法院判处法国零售巨头家乐福的两名对一次致命踩踏事件负有责任的雇员徒刑。

Chinese state media say a court in the western city of Chongqing has jailed two employees of French retail giant Carrefour for their role in a fatal stampede.

中国官方的新华社说，法院判处保安人员段程伟3年徒刑，判处他的上司向学信两年徒刑。重庆家乐福这起事件发生在2007年11月，造成3人死亡，31人受伤。

China's official Xinhua news agency says the court sentenced security guard Duan Chengwei to three years in prison, and his superior Xiang Xuexin to two years. The incident at a Carrefour store in Chongqing in November 2007 killed three people and injured another 31.

在一次促销活动中，向学信为了减缓人流速度，在商店入口处摆放了一张桌子，这一举动造成抢购降价食用油的顾客引起踩踏事件。

家乐福去年发表道歉信，并被罚款6万8千美元。此后，中国当局在全国范围内禁止有时间限制的促销。 
 

Duan placed a table in the entrance to the store to slow the flow of people during a sales promotion. The move instead prompted customers gathered to buy discounted cooking oil to stampede.

Last year, Carrefour issued a letter of apology and received a 68-thousand dollar fine for the incident.

Chinese authorities have since imposed a nationwide ban on limited time sales.
