Read the extract carefully and answer the following questions :

We must also remember that the lonely struggle taking place in a heavily guarded compound in Rangoon is part of the much larger struggle, worldwide, for the emancipation of the human spirit from political tyranny and psychological subjection. The prize, I feel sure, is also intended to honour all those engaged in this struggle wherever they may be.
