  • Essay / The Hero Of Burma - 1143

    Suu Kyi was the co-founder and became the general secretary of the NLD. The same year, but a month earlier, the National Council for the Restoration of Public Order (SLORC) was established. The SLORC “…has banned the rights of the Burmese people – limiting the number of people who can gather to discuss politics and arrests and/or prosecutions without trial are reinstated” (“Aung San”). It became illegal for the Burmese; for example, Suu Kyi, for speaking out against the junta and supporting the idea of ​​democracy, Suu Kyi was considered an enemy of the SLORC and was placed under house arrest, especially since there were elections to come, although she was unable to appear. In the 1990 elections, his party, the NLCD, won by 83% (Ghosh). The junta did not take it well and decided to ignore the results and remained in power.
