When questioned by the interviewer, Suu Kyi said: “I think there will be full democratic election in my lifetime. But then, of course, I don’t know how long I’m going to live. But if I live out a normal life span.”
Suu Kyi – who has spent 15 of the past 21 years under house arrest because of her political activity – made the comment in an exclusive interview with the BBC ahead of a meeting with William Hague.
She also talked about Burma’s political prisoners, saying they must all be freed, even if the government refused to admit the existence of up to 1,000 journalists, dissidents and monks who were involved in protests in 2007.
Though Suu Kyi officially registered the National League for Democracy as a political party in December 2011, she says she does not know when democratic elections will be held and whether she would run in them.
Speaking about Burma’s progress, Suu Kyi said: "I don’t think it’s as fast as a lot of us would like it to be. But on the other hand I don’t think it’s too slow."
