Myanmar gained freedom from colonial rule in 1948 and necessary a democratic country. But this rule ended in 1962 with a military coup.
For the first time after almost 30 years election was held. The National League for democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi won election but the military coup did not recognize the election result .
They put the elected pro democracy leaders including Aung San Suu Kyi, under house arrest.
Political activist accused for trivial matter (offences) were arrested. Anyone caught publicly airing views or issuing critics of the regime were arrested for twenty years.
.
Today Mynmar is on the threshold of democratic change
