Focused Hillary Read 2 minutes
Aung San Suu Kyi a
prominent Burmese diplomat and politician who chaired an opposition party and was sentenced to house arrest at one point chats with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
“Aung San Suu Kyi was
imprisoned by political opponents, Clinton worked to free her
In the debate on Sunday
night, Donald Trump shocked the political sphere by announcing that
if he is elected president, he will appoint a special prosecutor and
imprison Hillary Clinton, despite the glaring fact that federal

The Southeast Asian nation
of Burma, known officially as Myanmar, was a military dictatorship
for most of the second half of the twentieth century. In 1988, a
junta then known as the State Law and Order Restoration Council, and
later as the State Peace and Development Council, seized power. The
following year, Aung San Suu Kyi, a prominent Burmese diplomat and
politician who chaired the opposition National League for Democracy
party, was sentenced to house arrest.
… As Secretary of
State, Clinton played a huge role in the diplomatic
negotiations that phased the military government of Burma out of
power. In 2011, she became the first Secretary of State to visit the
country in nearly 50 years. She and President Obama lifted sanctions
against the country and appointed an ambassador.
The Burmese government
drew down martial law and ultimately agreed to honor the results of
free elections. In 2015, the NLD won parliament in a landslide,
and Aung San Suu Kyi was appointed prime minister.
Clinton’s push for
reform in Burma shows a striking difference in how she and Trump
view democracy. Trump believes it is acceptable to use the legal
system as a weapon against political opponents. By contrast, Clinton
has used her position on the world stage to hold countries
accountable for precisely this sort of persecution. … “
