...1990s. Philippe denies the charge. Gousse insists the cases of Chamblain and other Raboteau convicts - like Jean Tatoune, a rebel-army leader whose conviction appeal is still pending - will be treated impartially.

...amazing woman who put family second to country, who for her convictions made an unbearable choice--not to see her sons grow and not to be with her husband as he lost his life to a long and painful cancer. Suu Kyi, with an idea too big for any jail and a spirit too strong for any army, changes our view--as only real heroes can--of what we believe to be possible.
