Ban Briefs Security Council On Latest Trip To Myanmar
New York, Jul 13 2009 12:10PM Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is briefing Security Council members on his recent visit to Myanmar, where he called on authorities to immediately release all political prisoners and said the country’s future must be rooted in respect for human rights.
Mr. Ban spent two days in Myanmar earlier this month, meeting with Government officials as well as leaders of the country’s registered political parties, including the National League for Democracy (NLD).
But authorities did not allow Mr. Ban to meet with opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who is currently facing trial.
