缅甸可能很快释放民主人士昂山素季

Burma's military rulers appear to be on the verge of releasing pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest, after detaining her for most of the past two decades.On Friday, a day ahead of her scheduled release, government officials told the French news agency her release was a certainty, although no time was mentioned.

缅甸军政府领导人似乎即将释放被软禁的民主运动领导人昂山素季。在过去二十年的大部分时间里，昂山素季一直被软禁。星期五，在计划释放昂山素季的前一天，缅甸政府官员告诉法新社说，昂山素季肯定会被释放，但是官员没有提及释放的具体时间。

And Tin Oo, vice chairman of her banned National League for Democracy party, said his sources told him her release order has been signed. Authorities increased security in Rangoon as supporters gathered near her lakeside home and at the party's headquarters.

昂山素季所在的被禁党派“全国民主联盟”副主席丁吴说，他的消息来源说，释放昂山素季的命令已经签署。昂山素季的支持者聚集在她位于河畔的家附近以及全国民主联盟总部。当局加强了仰光的安全戒备。

A Saturday release would be six days after Burma's first election in two decades. The military's political party already has claimed a majority of seats in both houses of Parliament, in voting that Western leaders and human rights activists say was fraudulent and aimed at ensuring continued military rule with a civilian face.

星期六是缅甸举行二十年来首次大选后的第六天。军方政党已经声称获得了议会两院中的大部分席位。西方领导人和人权活动人士说，这次选举存在舞弊行为，目的是让军人统治蒙上平民统治的假象。
