International pressure for the release of Burma's opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, from prison is mounting. But Burma's pro-democracy activists and opposition politicians say the international response, including from the United Nations, needs to be coordinated.
国际社会对缅甸当局加大了压力，要求释放被关在监狱中的反对派领导人昂山素季。不过，缅甸支持民主的活动分子和反对派政治人士说，包括联合国在内的国际社会应当采取协调一致的行动。

The opposition leader is charged with breaching the conditions of her six-year house arrest because an American man earlier this month swam to her lakeside compound and stayed overnight. He was then was arrested when leaving.
这个月早些时候，美国男子约翰.叶托游泳来到昂山素季在湖边的住宅，并在那里住了一晚。结果，缅甸当局指控昂山素季违反了六年软禁的有关规定。约翰.叶托也在离开昂山素季住宅时被逮捕。
The man, John Yettaw, remains in detention and faces trial in Burma. His intrusion has angered many Burmese activists for jeopardizing Aung San Suu Kyi's situation. Many had hoped she would be freed late this month, when the current order for her detention was to expire.
他目前被缅甸政府拘押候审。许多缅甸活动人士对他闯入昂山素季住宅的做法感到愤怒。他们说，这使昂山素季陷入危险之中。许多人本来希望，在这个月底昂山素季的软禁令到期后，她就该获得自由了。

"Without the release of Aung San Suu Kyi there will be no inclusive political process, and there will be no peaceful transition and no reconciliation and also no lasting peace and democracy in Burma," she said.

他说：“证据就在眼前。缅甸当局逮捕昂山素季并把她交给军事法庭审判的做法证明，这个政权应当受到谴责。我们支持把缅甸从国际社会排除出去。”
Other ASEAN states also have expressed concern about Aung San Suu Kyi's arrest, an unusual breach of the group's usual policy of not commenting on members' internal affairs.
