Burma activist confined 25 years wasn't afraid

(CBS News) Burmese democratic activist Aung San Suu Kyi recently told "CBS Evening News" Anchor Scott Pelley she was never afraid while confined in her homeland of Burma. Suu Kyi was put under house arrest in the 1980s. Her detention didn't end until 2010.

Suu Kyi told Pelley, "There was nothing to be afraid of. I must admit in all truthfulness, that they kept me very well. They kept me confined, but they kept me well."

Suu Kyi replied that she was not on the streets, and that she "never thought" she was in jeopardy. She added, "In any case, there was no point in thinking about such things because I was one person - surrounded by numbers of people from the security forces. And what was the point in my worrying? If they wanted to do anything, they could do it anyway."
