Aung San Suu Kyi To Run For Parliament in Burma 
------------------------------------------------



Burmese opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has confirmed that she will
run for a parliamentary seat in April. The Nobel Peace Prize winner will
seek a seat in suburban Yangon, Burma’s largest city and her hometown.
She was under house arrest during the most recent elections in November
2010, which were boycotted by her National League for Democracy Party,
in part because she was barred from participating.
