Aung San Suu Kyi's speech (France 24 point of view)

Aung San Suu Kyi, the son of the Burmese national hero Aung San and also the famous Burmese opposition politician, was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. At the time, she was detained under house arrest. She was released on November 2010 and, in the last April, she was elected to the national parliament.

Due to her situation, she couldn't receive her Nobel Prize until this spring. Obviously, she couldn't make her speech in front of the Norwegian assembly. She finally did it in the last June.

France 24 didn't focused on the event particularly and the reporter decided to cite some interesting quotes from the Burmese MP.
The sentences range from the Burmese situation ("There still remain such - political prisoners - in Burma. It is to be feared that because the best known detainees have been released, the remainder, the unknown ones, will be forgotten") to global aspects ("Absolute peace in our world is an unattainable goal").
