24 Nov 2010 - I have paid tribute to Burmese democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi in the last few days, and like to share this picture from Magnum pictures showing a woman reading in her garden. There is no other human being around - she is all alone, but seems comfortable in her environment. Ms. Kyi pays an enormous personal price for standing up against the generals and advocating for democracy, human rights and economic progress. The Military regime has kept her under detention for more than 15 years of the last 21 years, and her release last week drew thousands of cheering supporters into Yangon's streets. This picture shows her isolation and her dignity.
