"If the government there [Burma] wants a full democratic process, it must let her have freedom in full political activity.”
Cambodian human rights activists welcomed the release of Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest in Burma over the weekend, hailing it as a step toward democracy but warning that more needs done there.
Suu Kyi was released on Saturday, imprisoned or under house arrest for most of the last 20 years. The release comes following the conclusion of elections in Burma, also called Myanmar, that were widely denounced as fraudulent and put the military junta in civilian power.
“The release of Aung San Suu Kyi was fair, but it is seen as an obstacle to the improvement of human rights' respect and democracy in Myanmar, because all the powers have fallen into the hands of the Myanmar government,” said Pung Chiv Kek, president of the rights group Adhoc.
