星期二,缅甸民主运动领袖昂山素季在英国进行她旋风式地欧洲之旅。在离开英国将近25年后,昂山素季将在英国与家人团聚。

这位诺贝尔和平奖得主昂山素季在牛津与家人团聚之前,在伦敦经济学院出席了一次座谈会。昂山素季星期二年满67岁。

本星期晚些时候,昂山素季将在伦敦对英国议会两院发表演讲,通常只有外国显要才能获此殊荣。

昂山素季在英国生活和学习多年后,于1988年返回缅甸,照顾患病的母亲。她最终成为缅甸民主运动领袖,在以往20年期间的大部分时间里,她遭到缅甸前强硬军政权的软禁。

Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi continues her whirlwind European tour Tuesday in Britain, where she will reunite with family after leaving the country nearly a quarter century ago.

The Nobel laureate, who turns 67 on Tuesday, will participate in a panel discussion at the London School of Economics before attending a family reunion in Oxford.

Later in the week, Aung San Suu Kyi will address both houses of parliament in London - a rare honor usually given only to high-profile foreign dignitaries.

She lived and studied for years in Britain before returning to her homeland in 1988 to care for her ailing mother. She eventually became the leader of Burma's pro-democracy movement and spent much of the next two decades in detention under the country's harsh former military rulers.
