She said her newspaper column, which often focuses on political and rights issues, was itself a "political act."

"But as for running for elections, just because I have this last name, I don't think I am entitled to it. I don't think it is a birthright," she said.

"I can't rule anything out for the future, but I think there are a lot of other ways to be political and right now I am choosing this way," she said.
