Activist Faces More Woes With Myanmar Government

Nobel Peace Prize winner and pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi has lived under house arrest as a political prisoner in Myanmar for the better part of twenty years. Now, as her release date nears, Aung San Suu Kyi is on trial for opening her doors to an American man who made an unplanned (and uninvited) visit to her home.

The activist's attorney, Jared Genser, discusses his client's battle with the Myanmar government and the new incident that may thwart her freedom.
