- Description
The cartoon shows Than Shwe, the leader of the military junta that rules Myanmar, rearing back in horror as he pulls the plug from the bath only to see the small figure of 'Aung San Suu Kyi, the spider in the blood bath'. Refers to the release from seven years of house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's pro-democracy leader. Aung San Suu Kyi, who heads the country's main opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), later appeared at the gate of her compound, the crowd chanted, cheered and sang the national anthem. American President Obama says "Whether Aung San Suu Kyi is living in the prison of her house, or the prison of her country, does not change the fact that she, and the political opposition she represents, has been systematically silenced, incarcerated, and deprived of any opportunity to engage in political processes that could change Burma."
