缅甸民主派领导人昂山素季呼吁美国的缅甸人社区支持缅甸民主运动。
这位诺贝尔奖获得者星期四在华盛顿的美利坚大学对包括一批佛教僧侣在内的缅甸侨胞发表讲话。她说:“在这个日子,这个时代,很少有快乐的结局,很少有成功的故事。令人失望的事似乎如此之多,在世界各地让人理想破灭。但我要让缅甸成为例外。”
星期四早些时候,昂山素季敦促人权活动人士继续努力,争取结束政治犯的困境。她在华盛顿告诉人权团体大赦国际和其他支持者说,仇恨和恐惧,经常促使官员们拘押那些持不同观点的人。
这位缅甸反对派领袖曾被前缅甸军政府统治者拘禁了14年。这是她2010年获得自由后首次访问美国,这次访问历时17天。
昂山素季星期三得到了美国国会金质奖章,美国国务卿克林顿和国会要员参加了颁奖仪式。然后昂山素季在白宫会晤了奥巴马总统。
Burma's democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi has called on the Burmese community in the United States to support the democratic movement in their native land.
The Nobel Laureate on Thursday addressed her compatriots, including a group of Buddhist monks, at American University in Washington. She said:" In this day and age there are very, very few happy endings and very few success stories. So much seems to be happening that is disappointing, that is disillusioning all around the world. I want Burma to be the exception."
Earlier Thursday, Aung San Suu Kyi urged human-rights activists to continue their efforts aimed at ending the plight of political prisoners. She told members of the Amnesty International rights group and other supporters in Washington that hatred and fear often prompt officials to detain individuals with different viewpoints.
Burma's opposition leader spent 14 years in detention under Burma's former military rulers, and is on a 17-day U.S. visit that marks her first trip to America since being freed from house arrest in 2010.
Wednesday, she received the Congressional Gold Medal in a ceremony attended by the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and leading lawmakers in Washington. Afterwards she met privately with President Barack Obama at the White House.
