Speech Highlight

Here are the highlights from the speech of Nobel Peace Price(Oslo) how she felt as a laureate and how it encouraged to her struggle for democaracy.
"Often during my days of house arrest it felt as though I were no longer a part of the real world. Winning the Nobel Peace Prize "made me real once again. It had drawn me back into the wider human community. And what was more important, the Nobel Prize had drawn the attention of the world to the struggle for democracy and human rights in Burma. We were not going to be forgotten."

The lady received her peace prize in person

Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel prize in 1991 but she was under house arrest by Burma's military junta and could not able to travel to Norway to receive the peace prize.  After 21 years, she is able to travel freely out of the country and received her peace prize in person.  She delivered her long-delayed acceptance speech in Oslo.  This was the most remarkable in the entire history of the Nobel prizes and she made us proud in the international community.
