Happy Birthday Daw Aung San Suu Kyi

Saturday was a day for celebrations in Myanmar (Burma), It was Daw Suu's 65th Birthday.

However while people took the time to que along University Avenue, to pass on there regards Daw Suu, like for fifteen previous years spent it under house arrest with her two companions. A very low key celebration was accepted.

She has spent fifteen of the last twenty-one years under house arrest.

To pay respect, BBC Radio 4 broadcast a special program that looked back on Suu Kyi's life and asked what the future may have in store for the Great Lady and Myanmar.

It can be heard here via the liten again facility or downloaded as a podcast.
