Aung San Suu Kyi
I feel that the BBC World Service is not as versatile as it used to be - or perhaps I'm not listening at the right times.
Aung San Suu Kyi

You must remember that democracy is made up not only of the executive, but the legislature and the judiciary.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I was a prisoner, but I always felt free because I was not frightened So for me real freedom is freedom from fear.
