Icon of democracy
Our next-door Myanmar is a mysterious country, which has been ruled for decades by the military junta. Most of the countries in the world have snapped relations with this undemocratic country, albeit China supports it unanimously. Russia sells their arms and India also keeps good relations considering the economic perspective.
Aung San Suu kyi who won the Nobel Prize for Peace is their voice of the people. This democracy icon has been in jail for 13 out of the last 19 years. It is clear that the military junta wants to keep her again in jail, so that she cannot disturb them anyway.
We want to see an end to this and at the same time Suu Kyi's unconditional release.
