Suu Kyi sworn in to Myanmar's parliament

Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was sworn in to Myanmar's military-backed parliament May 2, taking public office for the first time since launching her struggle against authoritarian rule nearly a quarter century ago.

The 66-year-old opposition leader's entry into the legislature heralds a new political era in Myanmar, cementing a risky detente between her party and the reformist government of President Thein Sein, which inherited power from the army last year.

Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party will occupy too few seats to have any real power in the ruling-party dominated assembly, however, and there are fears the presence of the opposition lawmakers could simply legitimize the regime without any change. (AP)
