Aung San Suu Kyi’s birthday

Nicholas Farrelly - 19 Jun, 2009

Over at East Asia Forum I have a piece marking Aung San Suu Kyi’s 64th birthday and reflecting on some of the wider political context of June 2009. It is available here. I also noticed that The Irrawaddy has a selection of interesting Aung San Suu Kyi portraits to mark the occasion.

I’m sure I join most New Mandala readers in wishing Aung San Suu Kyi a happy birthday with many more to come.
