　　参考消息网5月10日报道 英媒称，坦桑尼亚法院再度推迟开审杨凤兰案。这位被称为“象牙女王”的中国女商人涉嫌运营一个走私团伙，猎杀大象获得700多根象牙，并将象牙偷运至远东地区。

　　据英国广播公司网站5月9日报道，公诉方指控66岁的杨凤兰在2000年1月至2014年5月期间透过走私象牙获利54亿坦桑尼亚先令（约合1605万元人民币）。

　　杨凤兰去年10月被捕，案件原定5月9日在最大城市达累斯萨拉姆的一所裁判署开审， 但在现场的BBC记者阿瓦米说，法院再度押后案件至5月23日。

　　杨凤兰的律师此前代表她公开否认指控。

　　BBC记者阿瓦米指出，坦桑尼亚被认为是非洲象牙盗猎问题的“震中”，过去10年全国已经失去了三分之二的大象，因此逮捕杨凤兰被认为是一项重大成功。
