聯合國特使：緬甸當局繼續侵權

A United Nations envoy says widespread human rights abuses continue along Burma's eastern border in spite of the inauguration of a new nominally civilian s Quintana, the U.N. human rights envoy to Burma, said Monday the abuses include land confiscation, forced labor, internal displacement, extrajudicial killings and sexual tana spoke in Bangkok after spending a week visiting with Burmese refugees in Thailand. He has not been granted a visa to visit Burma since he called for a U.N. commission of inquiry into Burma's rights abuses last year.

Burma dissolved its longstanding military junta and installed a new government at the end of March. But, Quintana said, the new administration has done little to address the problems at the border. He said he still believes a commission of inquiry is needed.一名聯合國特使說，儘管新的名義上的文官政府在緬甸就職施政，緬甸東部邊境一帶廣泛的侵犯人權現象持續存在。聯合國緬甸問題人權特使金塔納星期一說，人權問題包括沒收土地、強迫國內遷徙、內部處置、法外殺戮以及性暴力。金塔納對在泰國的緬甸難民進行一週的訪問後在曼谷發表這些言論。金塔納自從去年呼籲聯合國對緬甸的人權問題進行調查以來還沒有獲得訪問緬甸的簽證。

緬甸三月底結束了長期以來的軍政府統治，建立了新政府，但是金塔納說，新政府在處理邊境存在的問題方面作得很少。他說，他仍然相信聯合國需要成立一個委員會，對緬甸進行調查。
