To mark the International Day of Peace today, we’re bringing you
these photos from the NED Democracy Award ceremony that was held in
Washington D.C. yesterday afternoon.
Dr Cynthia was honoured, along with Hkun Htun Oo, Kyaw Thu, Aung Din
and Min Ko Naing (who was not in attendance) for their key roles in the
Democracy Movement in Burma. Full profiles of the award recipients can
be found on the NED website.
The ceremony featured high profile speakers, such as House Democratic
Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senator John McCain and fellow Burmese democracy
icon, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
