Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi says Burma's government has taken
positive steps toward reform in the year since she was released from house
arrest, but needs to do more.Speaking to more than 100 journalists Monday on the
anniversary of her release, the Nobel peace laureate said the past year had been
"eventful, energizing and to a certain extent, encouraging."
However, she said there are still key issues to be addressed -- including
the release of political prisoners, the treatment of ethnic minorities and the
need for rule of law and an independent judiciary.She said she had no news about
widespread rumors that the government would announce the release of more
prisoners Monday. |
