MYANMAR'S DEMOCRACY CRUSADER REVISITS JAPAN

Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi made her first visit to Japan in 27 years. Her agenda included meeting with the Prime Minister to ask for economic assistance for her country. Since being released from house arrest 3 years ago, she has been active in promoting democratization. Western countries have started lifting sanctions imposed on Myanmar and have begun supporting development. But the path is not free of obstacles, including conflicts among religions and issues of ethnic minorities. Refugees living in Japan told our reporter of their feelings toward their faraway home. GUEST: Professor Kei Nemoto, Sophia University
