Myanmar's government Monday said it has ended the censorship of local publications, more than a year after it began a series of reforms aimed at freeing up the country's closely restricted media.
缅甸政府周一说,已终止了针对国内出版物的审查制度。一年多以前,缅甸开始着手进行一系列改革,旨在放开该国受到严格束缚的媒体。
The country's Ministry of Information announced the move in a statement on its website Monday morning, saying censorship prior to publication is no longer required as of Monday..
缅甸信息部周一上午在官网上的一份声明里宣布了这一举措,说从周一起,出版前不再要求进行审查。
'When we started the media reform in June 2011 we intended to abolish press censorship in one year,' ministry official Ye Htut said. 'During this process we faced some challenges but after 13 months we reached our goal.'
缅甸信息部官员Ye Htut说,2011年6月我们开始进行媒体改革时,打算一年后废除资讯审查制度;在这个过程中,我们遇到了一些挑战,但经过13个月的努力,我们实现了这一目标。
Opening the country's closely monitored media has been one of the linch pins of Myanmar's reform process. After the army handed over power to a nominally civilian government last year, local publications began testing the limits of what they could and couldn't publish. Many found that authorities were prepared to allow more space for criticism and debate than they expected. This, along with prisoner releases and other political reforms, led to a flourishing newspaper sector and also helped encourage the U.S. and European Union to relax some of their sanctions on the country.
