Isi artikel

FOLLOWING THE MASSACRE of scores of her supporters at Depayin in May 2003, Aung San Suu Kyi the iconic figurehead of Burma’s democracy movement and Nobel Peace Prize winner was placed first in prison, then (for the third time in her life) under house arrest, at her dilapidated colonial villa by the shores of Rangoon’s Inya Lake. And there she still is, having clocked up a total of 12 years on the detention meter on Oct. 24, this year. Regular appeals for her release from large swathes of the “international community,” including the United States, the European Union, Japan and individual members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, have gone un¬heeded. Less vociferous have been China and Russia, the two states most capable of exerting at least some pressure on Burma’s time-warped military leadership. Beijing and Moscow, one suspects, see Suu Kyi in much the same way as the Burmese junta does a born troublemaker.
