一名50岁男子因涉嫌在悉尼公交车上对一名13岁穆斯林女学生进行种族和伊斯兰恐惧症辱骂而被控骚扰和恐吓罪1。事件发生于2024年9月10日，该男子周二被逮捕1。受害者身穿校服和头巾，事发地点在从Strathfield火车站至Greenacre的公交车上1。该男子被指控"骚扰/恐吓，意图造成人身伤害恐惧"，此罪名最高可判处5年监禁1。他已被拒绝保释，定于周三在Bankstown地方法院出庭1。
这起事件反映了澳大利亚日益加剧的反穆斯林歧视趋势。Islamophobia Register Australia执行主任Aishah Ali表示，"自2023年10月以来伊斯兰恐惧症报告增加了六倍以上"1。根据该组织统计，2023年1月至2024年12月期间，澳大利亚报告了309起面对面的伊斯兰恐惧症事件，是前一年平均报告事件数量的两倍多1。
A 50-year-old man has been charged with harassment and intimidation following an incident on a Sydney bus in which a 13-year-old Muslim student was subjected to racial and Islamophobic abuse.1 The incident occurred on September 10, 2024, aboard a bus traveling from Strathfield station to Greenacre in western Sydney.1 The victim, wearing school uniform and a headscarf, was targeted by the accused man who has been refused bail and is scheduled to appear at Bankstown Local Court on Wednesday.1 The man faces charges of "harassment/intimidation, with intent to cause fear of harm," carrying a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment.1
The case reflects a broader escalation in religious intolerance within Australia. According to Aishah Ali, executive director of the Islamophobia Register Australia, Islamophobic complaints have surged more than sixfold since October 2023.1 Between January 2023 and December 2024, Australia recorded 309 face-to-face Islamophobic incidents, more than double the average reported in the preceding year.1
