Burma (now called Myanmar) holds its first elections for 20 years. The junta-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) captures the majority of seats in a controversial and sham election. The repressive military regime releases Aung San Suu Kyi from years of living under house arrest. The pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, can be compared to South Africa's Nelson Mandela. She embodies a nation's hopes for liberation. Is she genuinely free ? Zapiro's cartoon shows this graphically with a cage within a cage.
