UN Wire | 02/23/2009
The government of Myanmar released some 6,300 prisoners, though political prisoners were few among them. Only 20 were released -- some of them members of the opposition National League for Democracy group. Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's most famous political prisoner, still is living under house arrest. Tomás Ojea Quintana, a UN special envoy, recently visited Myanmar and gave a bleak report on its human rights record -- which has included lately a crackdown on journalists, bloggers and even comedians. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is under increasing pressure to make a trip there to press for reconciliation and reforms. Washington Post, The (02/23) Google (02/21)
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
