缅甸昂山素季呼吁2011年努力实现民族和解 Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi Calls for National Reconciliation Effort in 2011
缅甸民主人士昂山素季呼吁缅甸公民在新的一年中努力实现民族和解。她星期五在一份声明中请求缅甸人民，在 2011年“以新的优势、新的力量和新的语言一起进行奋斗。” 这位65岁的缅甸民主改革人士在被软禁7年多之后于11月13日获释。此前几天，缅甸军方统治者宣称在缅甸备受批评的选举中取得了压倒性胜利。这次选举是 缅甸20年来的第一次。
昂山素季在这份声明中说，缅甸人民需要建立政治和社会网络，实现“民族和解和一种真正团结的精神”。美国星期四再次呼吁缅甸领导人释放该国仍在押的2千2百多名政治犯，并参加促进民主的谈判。
Burmese democracy advocate Aung San Suu Kyi is calling on citizens in her country to work toward national reconciliation in the new year. In a statement Friday, she asked the Burmese people to "struggle together with new strengths, new force and new words" in 2011. The 65-year-old advocate for democratic reforms in Burma was released after more than seven years of house arrest on November 13. That was just days after the country's military rulers claimed an overwhelming victory in Burma's widely criticized first election in two decades.
She said in the statement that Burmese people need to establish political and social networks to achieve "national reconciliation as well as a truly united spirit." The United States on Thursday again called for Burma's leaders to free the more than 2,200 political prisoners in the country and engage in talks to promote democracy.
