For nearly two decades, activist Aung San Suu Kyi was imprisoned in her Myanmar (formerly Burma) home and became the symbol of liberation for her country. She is the daughter of the founder of the Burmese Independence Army, who originally negotiated the terms of Burmese independence from Britain and was later assassinated. Suu Kyi lived an ordinary life in England with her British husband and children until she returned to Burma to attend her ailing mother. While there, she was asked to lead the pro-democracy movement. In 1988, she addressed a half million people on behalf of the National League for Democracy party in the hopes of bringing democracy to her home country. The country was ruled by a brutal army junta, though, and not surprisingly, it wasn't in favor of this idea. Although Suu Kyi's party won a landslide victory during a 1990 general election, the junta overturned the results, locked up Suu Kyi in her home and stayed in power. The junta offered to release her if she would leave Burma and stay out of politics but she refused, vowing to serve the people of Burma until death, and rarely seeing her family again [source: Nobel Prize]. But slowly, things changed. After intense international pressure, Suu Kyi -- by then, one of the world's most prominent prisoners of conscience --- was released in late 2010. The junta finally ended and real elections were held in 2012, when the National League for Democracy party won nearly every seat it contested. No one knows of Suu Kyi will run for president in 2015, when the next elections will be held. But if her party remains strong, it could snag a legislative majority and thus the power to choose the president [source: CBC News].

Vlada Mianmara (bivša Burma) odobrila je da Nacionalna liga za demokraciju nobelovke Aung San Suu Kyi sudjeluje na parlamentarnim izborima zakazanima za 1. travnja Suu Kyi (66) mogla bi tako postati zastupnica prvi put u životu. Njena stranka je dobila izbore 1990, ali su rezultati poništeni, zavladali su generali i ona je provela duge godine progona, zatvora i kućnog pritvora (15 od 21 godine otada) iz kojega je oslobođena u studenome prošle godine. Nobelovka je izjavila da živi za trenutak kada će njena zemlja u potpunosti biti demokratizirana, ali da nije sigurna hoće li i želi li se nakon toga pojaviti i kao predsjednički kandidat. Čak i da njena stranka dobije izbore, to bitno neće mijenjati situaciju jer Suu Kyi može računati na maksimalno 48 stolica od 440 zastupničkih mjesta donjeg doma parlamenta. Vojska kontrolira 110 mjesta donjeg doma te 56 od 224 sjedalica u senatu, dok stranka koja sada vlada i koja je satelitska grupacija mianmarskih generala kontrolira ukupno 80 posto parlamenta. Izbori 2010. su doveli do prve civilne vlasti u pet desetljeća diktature, ali ona je potpuno ovisna o volji generala. - Sviđa vam se članak?
