The Burmese
political leader describes her feelings during her long imprisonment
and says that winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 encouraged her to
keep up the struggle for democracy in Myanmar.
The ceremony,
which was held on June, in Oslo's City Hall, has been a very
important political and social event, and Suu Kyi's speech has been
listened and recorded by thousands of people.
Her oration
received two standing ovations and a huge relevance all around the
world.
Aung San Suu Kyi
vicissitudes have been analyzed deeply in an article dated 30 May 2012
:
Here, Al Jazeera
journalist reports a sort of biography of the Burmese leader. It's a
detailed article, and there are narrowly described all the events
that have led to the imprisonment and, then, to the winning of the
Nobel Peace Prize.
Going back to the
first article, we can see that the journalist reports a lot of Suu
Kyi's quotes.
This
helps us analyze her speech and focuses readers' attention on
determined issues. For example it says :
"Often during my days of house arrest, it felt as though I were no longer a part of the real world. ;
"Often during my days of house arrest, it felt as though I were no longer a part of the real world. ;
and
: "What the Nobel Peace Prize did was to draw me once again into
the world of other human beings, outside the isolated area in which I
lived, to restore a sense of reality to me ".
In
my opinion, these quotes are really significant. They show us the
humanity, the personal feeelings and fears of this unique woman.
Al
Jazeera's article, and the speech itself, want to involve the people
in this touching story.
Suu
Kyi's aim is to be remembered, not as a woman who sacrificed her life,
but as a symbol of political and social resistance against violence
and abuses.

RispondiEliminaI really admire Aung San Suu Kyi, a woman who has fought for many years to protect human rights in Burma, a country devastated by a military dictatorship since 1988. So for over 20 years she has suffered persecution and arrests and I think she is an exemplary woman who has devoted and is devoting her life to a future of peace and democracy in Burma.
In 1991 she won the Nobel Peace Prize and she has decided to spend the money made by that prize to build a health care system and education in her country.
April 1, 2012 were held new elections that handed out, however, only a small proportion of seats in the Parliament, but despite this the new elections have had an important political significance because of the participation of Aung San Suu Kyi, which won 43 seats out of a total of 45 available.
This means that her great civil commitment and struggle for the defence of human rights and peace was not in vain, but rather goes to show that in every country in the world it’s possible to change the situation, remove the power of dictatorships and start a path that leads to true peace.

Today, Aung San Suu Kyi is revered because she is a symbol: she represents the historical continuity of the nation,people's desire for democracy, progress and Burma firmly seated in the puzzle of the international community.
RispondiEliminaAround the world she has become an icon of non-violence and peace.
For her efforts on behalf of human rights in May 2008, the U.S. Congress has conferred her its highest honor: the Medal of Honor. This honor had been assigned four years ago when she was in prison and it was given recently in September 2012, in Washington.
I think that she is an exemplary fighter, finally free to continue her struggle and to reach her goal.
