Washington (dpa) - The United States expressed concern Tuesday about the health of Burma's leading democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi, who reportedly began a hunger strike last month to protest years of detention.
"The regime's continued isolation and detention under house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi makes it impossible to confirm reports such as these," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
"The United States and the international community remain deeply concerned about her welfare."
McCormack called for the immediate release of Suu Kyi and other political prisoners held by the military regime.
Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been held under house arrest since May 2003. Her National League for Democracy party issued a statement Sunday announcing that she began refusing food three weeks earlier.
Where there's political will, there is a way
政治的な意思がある一方、方法がある
စစ္မွန္တဲ့ခိုင္မာတဲ့နိုင္ငံေရးခံယူခ်က္ရိွရင္ႀကိဳးစားမႈရိွရင္ နိုင္ငံေရးအေျဖ
ထြက္ရပ္လမ္းဟာေသခ်ာေပါက္ရိွတယ္
