World Service - World Have Your Say homepage Your questions for Aung San Suu Kyi
|
Tuesday, 2 Feb. 2011
|09:00 - 11:00 GMT
urma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will be taking your questions on World Have Your Say on Tuesday.
Released in November after seven years under house arrest, Ms Suu Kyi has become an icon of the democracy campaign against Burma's military junta. She won the 1990 election in the country, but the result was ignored.
She recently lost a court case to have her NLD party reinstated after it was dissolved for boycotting last year's election.
Since her release, she has been reunited with her son Kim for the first time in 10 years, and gone online for the first time.
What would you like to ask her? Leave your question here on the blog and we will try and put as many of them as possible to Ms Suu Kyi during the show.
Solomon from Omaha on Facebook - I wonder what she thinks about the developments in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen, whether she thinks similar uprisings could spark in more repressive countries in Southeast Asia, and what she thinks might help that along
