After I was released, people used to keep asking me, ‘what’s it like to be free? And it was very difficult for me to answer. I’d always felt free. As far as my state of mind was concerned, I didn’t feel any different…People ask me about what sacrifices I’ve made. I always answer: I’ve made no sacrifices, I’ve made choices.

Among the basic freedoms to which men aspire that their lives might be full and uncramped, freedom from fear stands out as both a means and an end.

It is ironic, I say, that in an authoritarian state it is only the prisoner of conscience who is genuinely free. Yes, we have given up our right to a normal life. But we have stayed true to that most precious part of our humanity-our conscience.

Because of rampant inflation, living standards have been dropping for the great majority of the population. The people are poorer because standards of health and education have fallen. And conditions in the rural areas are worse off than they have ever been. So, you cannot equate the so-called open-market economy adopted by the SLORC with any real development that benefits people.
