Aung San Suu Kyi turns 60 in captivity

Still imprisoned. Still fighting for democracy. Why the story of Aung San Suu Kyi should haunt the conscience of the world

"No messages penetrate to the outside world, giving some hint of her mental state, her assessment of the developing situation. Her phone line was cut long ago. We assume she is alive and in at least moderately good health. We imagine she continues with the Buddhist meditation that, along with her now-defunct piano, kept her tolerably buoyant through many previous years of solitude. But the star of Burma today emits neither light nor heat."
