버마군정 ‘아웅산 수치 여사 선거 출마 금지될 것’ (E)


버마 군사정부는 버마의 새 헌법초안이 민주화 지도자 아웅산 수치 여사의 선거 출마를 금지하게 될 것이라고 밝혔습니다.

군사정부는 19일 버마 국영라디오방송을 통해 이 헌법 초안에 관한 국민투표를 준비하기 위해 이 헌법초안을 성안하고 승인했다고 발표했습니다.

정부 관계자들은 아웅산 수치 여사가 외국인 남편과 결혼했기 때문에 헌법에 따라 선거 출마를 금지당할 것이라고 말했습니다.

버마의 기존 헌법은 1988년에 폐기됐습니다.

Burma's military government says a new draft of the country's constitution will bar the pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from running for election.

In an announcement on state-run radio Tuesday, the government said a 54-member commission (Constitution Drafting Commission) had completed and approved the draft, in preparation for a national referendum on the document.

Government officials say the constitution will bar Aung San Suu Kyi from running because she was married to a foreigner.

Burma's previous constitution was scrapped in 1988. The country recently announced its plans to hold a national referendum in May to approve the new document and to hold general elections in 2010.

The constitution drafting process has been criticized because independent political parties were barred from participating in the drafting process.
