Aung San Suu Kyi 'a hostage for democracy': Human Rights Watch

Aung San Suu Kyi has 'returned to her previous role in the 1990s as a hostage for democracy' says Phil Robertson from Human Rights Watch, after she was sentenced to another seven years in jail by Myanmar's military junta on Friday. The ousted leader now faces a total of more than three decades behind bars after her series of trials, dismissed by rights groups as a sham, came to an end on Friday.
