احتجزهم بتهمة عرقلة سير العدالة

--------------------------------------------------

I can see some colleagues disagree with my answer and I do not have any problem with that. I am not Mr. Perfect and I can be wrong. However, I would like to reply to Mr. Ali Alawadi, whom I really respect, as I do not think I am totally wrong .. maybe only partially:)

We have two points which can be argued:

1. the word "hold": I think it can mean"يحتجز" or "يتهم، يعتبر" depending on the whole context. I chose "يحتجز" and it can be wrong.

2. the word "contempt [of court]": contempt of court can have several forms, one of which is the obstruction of the administration of justice. So "عرقلة سير العدالة" is just a form of "ازدراء المحكمة", and my choice was based on the fact that this is really the case as explained in the same sentence.

I quote this from the referene below:

"The essence of contempt of court is that the misconduct impairs the fair and efficient administration of justice."

Thanks Ali. I have to admit you have a valid point concerning the entry in the glossary, and I agree with your suggestion that the entry itself be edited.

كما أن
"hold somebody in contempt" has a similar structure to "hold him/her responsible for"
أي عدَّه مسئولا عن
أي ليس باحتجاز أو بتهمة تستوجب محاكمة أو عقابا
وإنما تقع في حيز تحمل المسئولية جراء عمل ما غير لائق أو غير مقبول

هذا رأي شخصي

"impairing the administration of justice" all mentioned in the same text..so ?.. فأرى من الحرص على أمانة الترجمة تعديل إدخال ترجمة المصطلح في قاموس كدوز ولتكن النقاط لأي منا.. فالمشكلة ليست بمشكلة نقاط
تحياتي وتقديري لكم

the chosen answer (yours or mine or hers or his either correct or ...) will be added to the open glossary only to be used by every translator..

أخي وزميلي الأستاذ عبدالرحمن
لقد قرأت الملاحظة في نهاية إجابتكم ولكن هذا يعتبر
Generalization of the meaning in a legal context in which every sense in excess can count and makes a difference.. Moreover, the more dangerous point is that

يا أخت فانيلا
المعنى واضح
اتهام بازدراء المحكمة
فقط اتهام
وليس احتجاز أو عرقلة سير العدالة
hold somebody in contempt = (in structure) hold somebody responsible for..
Plz verify as the term will be entered in the open dictionary..Regards

اعتبرهم مزدرين للمحكمة

Explanation:
ازدراء المحكمة ليس بتهمة حيث أن من حق المتهم في أية تهمة محاكمة أمام القضاء للنظر في براءته من عدمها، أما في حالة ازدراء المحكمة فللقاضي حرية اعتبار أي شخص مزدرياً للمحكمة إن رأى أنه يخرق قواعد المحكمة والأمر بحبسه أو تغريمه في التو، مما ينفي عنها صفة التهمة ويحولها لجريمة "وجده" القاضي فيها مذنباً بالفعل
