据报道，这名父亲或曾入邪教，6名子女或被洗脑。
过去几天，荷兰德伦特省Ruinerwold镇一偏僻农庄的地下室里，6名成年子女与他们的父亲过了9年“与世隔绝”般生活的消息震惊了当地居民、轰动了全球媒体。随着调查的展开，警方发现这起案件或许与邪教有关。
据当地媒体报道，这位父亲名叫格里特-简·范·多斯滕（Gerrit-Jan van Dorsten），现年68岁，曾是邪教组织“统一教”（Unification Church）的成员。目前，他已被警方逮捕。
Gerrit-Jan van Dorsten, 68, is a former member of the Unification movement, which was set up by Sun Mung Moon in 1954 and whose followers are sometimes known as “Moonies”. Police confirmed they were investigating whether religious faith was involved in the family's alleged incarceration.
68岁的格里特-简·范·多斯滕曾是“统一教”运动的成员。“统一教”是1954年由韩国人文鲜明创立的，他的追随者有时被称为“文派”。警方证实，他们正在调查该家庭的所谓监禁是否牵涉到宗教信仰。
Mr van Dorsten was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of “depriving people of their liberty, harming the health of others and money laundering”, Dutch police said in a statement.
荷兰警方在一份声明中表示，范•多斯滕当地时间周四因涉嫌“剥夺他人自由、危害他人健康及洗钱”而被捕。
“We have reason to believe that the six people involved did not stay at the premises out of free will. We are investigating whether following a certain belief in life or faith has led to the living situation in which the people were found,” the police statement said, according to the Agence France-Presse news agency.
“我们有理由相信，六名涉案人员并不是出于自愿留在这里的。据法新社报道，警方在声明中称：“我们正在调查是否因为遵循了某种生活信仰或宗教信仰导致了这些人被发现时处于那样的生活状况（住在地窖里）。”

此外，当地警方还逮捕了一名租住在这处农庄的房客，58岁的奥地利人约瑟夫·布鲁纳（Josef Brunner）。
The 58-year-old Austrian tenant at the farmhouse, named as Josef Brunner, has also been arrested on similar charges to Mr van Dorsten. He was reportedly also a former member of the Unification church, though the organisation has not confirmed this.
这名58岁的奥地利租户名叫约瑟夫·布鲁纳，他也因与范·多斯滕类似的指控而被捕。据报道，他也是统一教的前成员，尽管该组织还没有证实这一点。

此后，统一教方面确认了范·多斯滕曾经是该教的一名成员，但在该教所待的时间不长。而他的兄弟却是该教一名长期成员。此外，统一教没有确认一同被捕的约瑟夫·布鲁纳与该教是否有关联。
The Unification church said in a statement it was “deeply alarmed to hear of the family being held in inhumane conditions on a farmhouse in the Netherlands.” Mr van Dorsten "was briefly a member of our movement in the mid-1980s", it said, but he left in 1987.
统一教在一份声明中表示，“听到这家人被关在荷兰一间农舍、被置于不人道的生活条件下，他们深感震惊。”声明称，范·多斯滕“在上世纪80年代中期曾短暂参与我们的运动”，但他在1987年离开了。
The church's statement also revealed that Mr van Dorsten’s brother, Derek van Dorsten, remained “a long-time member” of the movement, and is quoted as saying “I have not heard from my brother since 1984”.
该教会的声明还透露，范·多斯滕的兄弟德里克•范多斯滕仍是该教会的“长期成员”，并援引德里克的话说，“我自1984年以来就没有收到过我兄弟的来信”。
It added: “In addition, we are unable to confirm any records of Mr Josef Brunner, the alleged captor, having ever been associated in any way with the Unification church. We are grateful that the six victims in this tragedy are now under the care of the local authorities and pray they will be able to heal from their ordeal with time and professional help.”
教会的声明还补充说：“此外，我们无法证实被逮捕者约瑟夫·布鲁纳与统一教会有关联的任何记录。我们很感激这场悲剧的六名受害者现在得到了当地政府的照顾，并祈祷他们能够被时间治愈、在专业人士的帮助下从苦难中走出来。”

而据荷兰当地媒体《共同日报》报道，布鲁纳和范·多斯滕是通过统一教认识的。
Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad reported that Mr Brunner had met Mr van Dorsten through the church, but that he had left Austria for the Netherlands in 2010, settled in Ruinerwold, and that neighbours believed he lived there alone. The 58-year-old is described as a furniture worker who also worked on yachts. He was regarded as “an absolute professional”, the report said.
荷兰报纸《共同日报》报道称，布鲁纳与范·多斯滕是通过教会认识的，但布鲁纳在2010年离开奥地利前往荷兰，定居在Ruinerwold，邻居们认为他独自住在那里。据当地人描述，58岁的布鲁纳是一名家具工人，也曾在游艇上工作。报道称，他被视为“绝对的专业人士”。
Willem Koetsier, a Unification Church member in Amsterdam, also told the paper that after Mr van Dorsten had left the group, he travelled to Germany where it lost track of him. Mr Koetsier said he thought the man “together with someone else” had since started their own cult.
阿姆斯特丹的统一教成员威廉·科特西耶也告诉《共同日报》，范·多斯滕离开统一教后，去了德国，在那里教会和他失去了联系。科特西耶说他认为范·多斯滕和其他人一起创立了他们自己的统一教。
According to Algemeen Dagblad, at the time Mr van Dorsten joined the Unification movement with his brother in the 1980s, he ascribed “supernatural powers” to himself.
据《共同日报》报道，20世纪80年代，当范·多斯滕和他的兄弟加入统一教时，他认为自己拥有“超自然的力量”。

此外，范·多斯滕据说和他的去世的妻子共生育过9名子女，其中3名子女早在8年前出逃了。
His wife and the mother of nine known children died in 2004. Three of Mr van-Dorsten’s children have come forward and said they left the family eight years ago. It is possible he has even more children, the newspaper reports.
范·多斯滕的妻子即9名子女的母亲在2004年去世了。范·多斯滕的3个孩子已经出面表示，他们8年前离开了这个家庭。据《共同日报》报道，他可能还有更多的孩子。
Before the family moved to the farm in Ruinerwold, they had reportedly stayed at a caravan park where the children were filmed performing cult rituals including walking in circles. This apparently attracted unwanted attention, leading them to move to the secluded farm.
据报道，在这个家庭搬到Ruinerwold的农庄之前，他们住在一个房车公园里，孩子们在那里进行宗教仪式，包括绕圈行走。而这显然引起过这家人不想得到的注意，致使他们搬去了偏僻的农庄。
