Suu Kyi cautions Myanmar 'not yet a democracy'

April 11, 2014

Myanmar's opposition leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi warned today that her country, despite a spate of reforms hailed by the international community, "is not yet a democracy".

Speaking in Berlin to accept a human rights award, she said the country formerly called Burma still needs a democratic constitution, true national reconciliation and a change of mindset among its ex-military rulers.
