Extractions: January 1996 Aung San Suu Kyi talks to the young people of the world about peace, alienation, and realizing their own power. Aung San Suu Kyi is one of the world's leading campaigners for democracy and a Nobel Peace Prize winner of great heroism. In person, we found her delicate and charming, and her wit and intelligence shone throughout our interview. We traveled to Burma to interview Aung San Suu Kyi for Peacejam, a five - year educational program to reach out to young people worldwide with a message of hope. Peacejam celebrates the lives of Nobel Peace Laureates, including Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Rigoberta Menchu, the Dalai Lama, Oscar Aris Sanchez and Betty Williams. Aung San Suu Kyi's deep Buddhist training is the basis of her life, her work, and her exemplary response to the difficulties of her current situation. So as you read this interview, look beneath the words of her answers to hear the subtlety of the message she has for every one of us. Listen also to the message she is sending to her jailers, to her people and to the world, about the tragedy of Burma. Ivan Suvanieff Ivan Suvanjieff: WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN TO YOU?

The following are the first 21 Articles of the Declaration and an account of Burma's record in observing these rights. Article 1 All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. International Labour Organization (ILO), 1998: "The impunity with which government officials, in particular the military, treat the civilian population as an unlimited pool of unpaid forced labourers and servants at their disposal, is part of the political system built on the use of force and intimidation to deny the people of Myanmar democracy and the rule of law. The government, the military and the administration seem oblivious to the human rights of the people. Their actions gravely offend human dignity and have a debasing effect on civil society". Article 2 Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore no distinction shall be made on the basis of the jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

Extractions: 8 December 2001 Commissioner Chris Patten, responsible for External relations, said: "It is ten years since Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel peace prize. In the decade that has followed, she has struggled continuously for democracy and peaceful change in Burma, and has continued unflinchingly to uphold the ideals which are symbolised by the prize. She has paid a high price for her principles, as have her supporters. But she remains an inspiration, to the people in Burma, and beyond. I urge the Burmese authorities to move swiftly towards democracy, and to release the remaining political prisoners." See also: Top Commissioner Chris Patten Directorate General External Relations

After living in Oxford for many years, Aung San Suu Kyi returned to Burma in 1988 to nurse her mother.

The military State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) seized power on September 18, 1988 and crushed the pro-democracy movement. In the ensuing crackdown, several thousand people were killed. SLORC allowed multi-party general elections in 1990. The NLD, headed by Aung San Suu Kyi, won the elections in a landslide. SLORC refused to recognize the election results and put elected government leaders under house arrest. Aung San Suu Kyi won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 for her efforts to get democracy in Burma. She was released from house arrest in 1995, but her movements are restricted to the area around Yangon (formerly Rangoon), Myanmars capital.

In 1990 they turned out in vast numbers to vote for Aung San Suu Kyi and her party to become the new government of Myanmar, formerly Burma. The result, an 82 percent landslide in favor of the National League for Democracy (NLD), took the country's military rulers by surprise. Refusing to acknowledge defeat, the generals claimed foreigners and communists had rigged the election. In the subsequent weeks hundreds of NLD members were rounded up and jailed. According to human rights groups, more than a thousand remain in their cells, never having been convicted of a crime. Aung San Suu Kyi herself presented little challenge by then she had already been held under house arrest for several months.

Extractions: Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of one of Burma's most cherished heroes, the martyred General Aung San, who led his country's fight for independence from Great Britain in the 1940s and was killed for his beliefs in 1947. Suu Kyi has equaled her father's heroics with her calm but passionate advocacy of freedom and democracy in the country now called Myanmar, a name chosen by one of the most insensitive and brutal military dictatorships in the world. CP photo The news event that brought Suu Kyi back into prominence in May 2002 was her release from 19 months of house arrest in her barricaded villa in Yangon, formerly Rangoon. The United Nations helped to negotiate her release this time. There was outrage around the world in 2000 when Suu Kyi tried to leave Yangon, only to be thwarted by authorities. In August of that year Suu Kyi, her driver and 14 members of her pro-democracy party were confined in two cars on the side of the road outside of Yangon. She endured a similar roadside standoff for 13 days in 1998, during which time she suffered severe dehydration and had to be returned to her home by ambulance.

Suu Kyi resolved to participate in Burma’s "second struggle for national independence." A week after the uprising, she wrote an open letter to the government, calling for multi-party elections. Shortly thereafter, she addressed an estima ted half-million people in Rangoon, calling for democracy. On July 20, 1989, the SLORC placed Suu Kyi under house arrest for three years.

The SLORC refused to recognize the election results. In October, Suu Kyi was awarded the 1990 Rafto Human Rights Prize.

Extractions: Aung San Suu Kyi was the daughter of Burma's great liberation leader Aung San who was murdered in 1947. As an independent state, Burma never got the chance to establish a democratic rule and has been led by generals since 1962. They have exploited Burma's natural riches for their own benefit, sent large groups of people to do hard work and turned hundreds of thousands of people into refugees. Reports from Amnesty International show that political arrests, torture and disappearances are widespread.

Extractions: YANGON - Aung San Suu Kyi è libera. Dopo diciannove mesi di arresti domiciliari, alla cinquantaseienne attivista del Myanmar (l'ex Bormania), premio Nobel per la pace 1991 per la sua lotta in favore della democrazia, sono stati restituiti i diritti civili. Un portavoce della giunta militare ha comunicato: "A partire da oggi ha la libertà di svolgere ogni attività, comprese quelle di partito". Ed è una folla entusiasta quella che ha tributato una vera e propria accoglienza trionfale alla leader dell'opposizone, al suo rientro nel quartier generale del suo partito, la Lega nazionale per la democrazia. "Lunga vita a Suu Kyi!", "Evviva Suu Kyi!", gridavano i suoi sostenitori. Mentre lei, i capelli adorni di corolle di fiori, scendeva dalla propria auto, per poi essere scortata da amici e simpatizzanti all'interno dell'edificio. Nel corso della sua prima conferenza stampa dopo la liberazione, Aung San Suu Kyi ha dichiarato inoltre che il dialogo per la "riconciliazione nazionale" con i generali della giunta al potere a Yangoon ha registrato progressi tali da consentire, ora, il passaggio a "colloqui politici". La leader dell'opposizione birmana ha poi ribadito che il suo partito, la Lega nazionale per la democrazia, continua a opporsi agli investimenti stranieri, agli aiuti e al turismo a Myanmar, finchè la giunta militare non cadrà.
