Pro-Democracy Leader Won’t Be Silenced

Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi refused to be silenced Saturday, driving past police barricades to seek out supporters blocked from her home.

Police erected barricades outside her lakeside compound in Rangoon 10 minutes after the customary starting time of her weekly pro-democracy speeches.

Soon after, Suu Kyi and the vice-chairmen of her political party got into a white sedan and drove to a hotel where more than 100 people had gathered.
