联合国人权特使昆塔纳在缅甸表示，缅甸军事政府拒绝了他与正遭到软禁的反对派领袖昂山素季进行会面,对此他深表遗憾。
特使昆塔纳星期五对记者说，由于预期缅甸今年将举行20年来首次全国大选，缅甸政府拒绝他的会面要求，尤其令他感到失望。他说，缅甸政府没有说明拒绝的理由。
昆塔纳星期五与一些政府官员会晤，讨论大选和其他方面的问题。他说，他没有被告知大选日期，以及何时宣布人们期待的选举法。
他表示，缅甸政府还拒绝释放任何政治囚犯，甚至不承认缅甸存在政治犯。
昆塔纳是在星期五结束为期五天对缅甸访问的时候发表评论的。
The United Nations’ special envoy on human rights in Burma says he deeply regrets that Burma’s military government denied him a meeting with opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, who is currently under house arrest.
U.N. envoy Tomas Ojea Quintana told reporters Friday he was particularly disappointed to be denied a meeting because this year Burma is expected to hold its first national elections in 20 years. He said no reason was given for the denial.
Quintana met Friday with a number of government officials to discuss the elections and other issues. He said he was not told when elections will be held or when an anticipated election law governing the vote will be announced.
He said the government also refused to release any political prisoners or even acknowledge that such prisoners exist.
The envoy made the comments at the end of his five-day visit to Burma.
