http://www.uscampaignforburma.org/assk/biography.html
Brief Biography of Aung San Suu Kyi Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced Daw Aung Sawn Sue Chee) is one of the world's most renown freedom fighters and advocates of nonviolence, having served as the figurehead for Burma's struggle for democracy since 1988. Born on June 19th, 1945 to Burma's independence hero, Aung San, Aung San Suu Kyi was educated in Burma, India, and the United Kingdom. Her father was assassinated when she was only two years old.
As Suu Kyi began to campaign for the NLD, she and many others were detained by the regime. Despite being held under house arrest, the NLD went on to win a staggering 82% of the seats in parliament. The regime never recognized the results.
Suu Kyi has been in and out of arrest ever since. She was held from 1989-1995, and again from 2000-2002. She was again arrested and placed behind bars in May 2003 after the Depayin massacre, during which up to 100 of her supporters were beaten to death by the regime's cronies. She has moved from prison back into house arrest in late 2003 and has been held there ever since.

Aung San Suu Kyi released
YANGON, Myanmar (CNN) Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been released after 19 months of house arrest, the Myanmar government has announced. "Aung San Suu Kyi has liberty to carry out all activities, including her political party, as of today. There are no conditions or restrictions, because we are confident that we can trust each other," said Col. Hla Min, speaking on behalf of the government. The government proclaimed Monday "a day of national unity" that "marks a new page for the people of Myanmar and the international community." The Nobel peace laureate, who has been confined to her lakeside villa since September 2000, was yet to come out and appear in public. The government's statement did not mention Suu Kyi by name, but Yangon's public relations firm in Washington said she was referred to in the statement reading: "We shall recommit ourselves to allowing all of our citizens to participate freely in the life of our political process, while giving priority to national unity, peace and stability of the country as well as the region." In Yangon, a spokesman for Myanmar's military junta said no details of any reconciliation deal or what her political role would be were available.

BANGKOK, Thailand (CNN) Her supporters call her simply "The Lady." In 1990 they turned out in vast numbers to vote for Aung San Suu Kyi and her party to become the new government of Myanmar, formerly Burma. The result, an 82 percent landslide in favor of the National League for Democracy (NLD), took the country's military rulers by surprise. Refusing to acknowledge defeat, the generals claimed foreigners and communists had rigged the election. In the subsequent weeks hundreds of NLD members were rounded up and jailed. According to human rights groups, more than a thousand remain in their cells, never having been convicted of a crime. Aung San Suu Kyi herself presented little challenge by then she had already been held under house arrest for several months.

On June 19th 2005, Burma's democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, celebrated her 60th birthday. But she spent her birthday alone under house arrest. She is now in her tenth year of detention. Her phone line is cut and her post is intercepted. Armed soldiers behind a barricade of barbed wire turn away any visitors.
The brutal generals who rule Burma have already made one attempt on her life, attacking a convoy she was travelling in on May 30th 2003. Up to 100 of her supporters were beaten to death in the attack. Aung San Suu Kyi's car managed to speed away, but she was later arrested.
Take action now to help free Aung San Suu Kyi - send an email to Burma's dictator. " We have to take a stand against this gross violation of human rights. "

aung san suu kyi is the daughter of Burmese General aung san, a popular hero for helping to establish national independence (1948).
http://www.who2.com/aungsansuukyi.html
AUNG SAN SUU KYI Political Figure Name at birth: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of Burmese General Aung San, a popular hero for helping to establish national independence (1948). Aung San was assassinated in July of 1947, and two year-old Suu Kyi left Burma and lived and studied in India and the United Kingdom. In 1988 she returned to Burma at a time of political upheaval and ended up leading the National League for Democracy (NLD) in opposition to the ruling military regime. Inspired by the non-violent practices of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. , she became a national hero and an international celebrity. She was placed under house arrest in 1989, but the NLD still convincingly won popular elections in 1990. The military junta refused to give up power and held Aung San under house arrest until 1995 (she won the Nobel Prize for peace in 1991). She was detained again from September 2000 until May 2002, during which time the NLD was having secret negotiations with the junta in an effort to break the political deadlock. In May 2003 she was again detained, taken into "protective custody" as confrontations between the NLD and government supporters increased.
Extra credit : Burma was renamed Myanmar in 1989 by the ruling military party, the State Law and Order Restoration Council (now called the State Peace and Development Council).

Burma s leading lady gives a series of interviews to reporter Ron Gluckman.

The Lady and the Tramps
Fear and longing prevail inside Burma, where a brutal military junta continues to rule with an iron hand, but cannot subdue the lady who lives, virtually a prisoner, inside the lakeside home of her father, the martyr of a nation that still waits for justice and democracy. The story of a heroine.
By Ron Gluckman/Yangon B EYOND THE BARRICADES AND The seemingly innocuous nature of the house is emphasized by the appearance of its sole occupant. She arrives after the guest log has been signed, and permission to enter has been granted by government guards at the gate. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is demure and soft spoken in conversation, but, depending on whether you believe the military rulers of Burma or the Nobel committee, she is either a puppet of imperialism or one of the most courageous women alive. For much of the past six years, Burma’s military junta have held "the lady," as she is known nationwide, in house arrest. For five years, she was allowed no visitors. Even after her release a year ago last July, her movements have been restricted, her followers arrested and, often, abused. Her weekly speeches are uniformly condemned by the state press. In June, SLORC banned criticism of its rule, effectively outlawing the NLD and Suu Kyi’s public addresses. Overnight, signs went in the capital of Rangoon, by her house and the United States embassy, denouncing foreign interference in Burmese politics. Suu Kyi, who is married to a British university professor, was attacked as a "western party girl" and "foreign stooge" in the official state media.

Notable Quote: Biography in Brief
June 19, 1945
January 1, 1972
Marries Michael Aris and moves to Bhutan, where her husband tutors the royal family and heads the Translation Department. Later returns to Britain where they have two sons.
In June, just weeks after Tiananmen Square, the Burmese junta places Aung San Suu Kyi and other democracy leaders in house arrest. This marks the beginning of a period of confinement that has continued on and off to this day.
On October 14th, the Nobel Committee in Oslo announces Aung San Suu Kyi to be the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991. In December, her 18 year old son Alex Aris accepts on her behalf as she is still under house arrest in Burma, now renamed Myanmar by the SLORC.
In accepting the prize, Aris dedicates it to all the people of Burma: "Theirs is the prize and theirs will be the eventual victory in Burma's long struggle for peace, freedom, and democracy."
He continued: "Speaking as her son, however, I would add that I personally believe that by her own dedication and personal sacrifice she has come to be a worthy symbol through whom the plight of all the people of Burma may be recognized." March 27, 1999
