Checking in on Burma
Vaclav Havel says Aung San Suu Kyi’s plight in Burma serves as a “stark reminder of our struggles against totalitarian regimes in Central and Eastern Europe”:
The regime in Burma is, as a matter of fact, the disgrace of Asia, just as Alexander Lukashenko’s regime in Belarus is the disgrace of Europe and Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba of Latin America…In Burma, thousands of human lives have been destroyed, scores of gifted people have been exiled or incarcerated and deep mistrust has been sown among the various ethnic groups.
