后藤健二

通过互联网公布的一段听上去很像日本人质后藤健二（KenjiGoto）的新录音称，约旦和日本必须在今天日落之前交换一名囚犯。

Jordan and Japan must prepare a prisoner for exchange by sunset today , according to a new recording apparently of the Japanese hostage Kenji Goto released online .

在上周六的一则视频中，后藤健二表示，另一名日本人质汤川遥菜（HarunaYukawa）已被杀害，此前索要2亿美元赎金的最后期限已过。

In an earlier video on Saturday , Mr Goto said another Japanese hostage , Haruna Yukawa , had been killed after the deadline for a $ 200m ransom had passed .

鉴于后藤健二还活着，我们将全力以赴尽早让他获得释放，菅义伟表示，我们正呼吁通过各种渠道展开合作。

On the basis that Mr Goto is alive , we are putting all our effort into securing his release as early as possible , said Mr Suga . We are appealing for co-operation through a range of channels .
