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.

    Extractions: On a hot August day in l988 the grounds at the foot of the great golden Schwedagon pagoda of Rangoon were crowded with thousands of Burmese who had come to a rally where Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced aung sahn soo chee), the daughter of the revered national hero, General Aung San, was to speak. A large picture of the general looked down from the stage, flanked by a flag of the resistance movement he had led which had brought Burma its independence in l948, a few months after he had been assassinated on the orders of a political rival. Now Burma was in the throes of political upheaval. A student-led protest movement against the military dictatorship which had ruled since l962 was in full flood, despite the brutal methods the army was using to suppress it. On 8 August soldiers had sprayed with bullets a huge peaceful demonstration, resulting in a death toll far higher than in the Tiananmen Square massacre in China a year later. The crowd at the pagoda on August 26 had heard that Suu Kyi had responded to this slaughter by calling upon the government to cease using force of arms against peaceful unarmed demonstrators and had proposed the establishment of a People's Consultative Committee to help resolve the crisis. Otherwise they knew little about her, only that she had been two years old when her father was slain, that she had lived most of the next four decades abroad, where she had married a British scholar, and that she had returned in April to nurse her mortally ill mother.

La pareja vivió varios años en la ciudad inglesa y allí nacieron sus dos hijos. Entre 1985 y 1986 Aung San estudió con una beca en el Centro de Estudios de Asia del Sudeste de la Universidad de Kyoto, donde se concentró en investigar la trayectoria de su padre en los años previos a la independencia, y en 1987 se diplomó en el Instituto Indio de Estudios Avanzados de Simla.

    Extractions: Aung San Suu Kyi calls her fight for democracy Myanmar's "second struggle for independence" Story Tools (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. Her popularity and the threat that posed to the ruling regime meant that her detention would last another five years.

    Extractions: Arlene Gregorius looks back at the life and career of Nobel Peace Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi: Like the South African leader Nelson Mandela before her, Aung San Suu Kyi, has come to be seen internationally as a symbol of heroic and peaceful resistance in the face of oppression. She was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1991, by which time she had been under house arrest for two out of what was to become six years. Now aged 53, Suu Kyi is the daughter of the late Burmese nationalist leader, General Aung San, whose resistance to British colonial rule culminated in Burma's independence in 1948. After attending school in the Burmese capital Rangoon, Aung San Suu Kyi lived in India, and then went to Britain for her University education. This is where she met and married her husband, Michael Aris, an Oxford University academic.

Next My father was a child of his times who grew into a man for all time. He combined a traditional upbringing with a British colonial education. Influenced by socialist ideas, he was a student revolutionary who plunged into the anti-imperialist movement which galvanized Asia before World War II. In all this he was no different from thousands of his contemporaries who dreamt of wresting independence for their nations from the mighty British Empire. By the end of his life he had matured into an astute, thoughtful statesman with a strong abhorrence of fascism and a deeply rooted belief in democratic values. His vision encompassed an "internationalism of creative mutuality" which would bring "abiding peace, universal freedom and progress." He foresaw that time and space would be conquered and that we would become a world of "immediate, not distant neighbors." He envisaged a "new Asian order" to build Asian unity and co-operation, and win freedom, security, peace and progress for the world.

For the Burmese people, Aung San Suu Kyi represents their best and perhaps sole hope that one day there will be an end to the country's military repression. A life in pictures As a pro-democracy campaigner and leader of the opposition National League for Democracy party ( NLD), she has spent nine of the past 15 years in some form of detention under Burma's military regime. In 1991 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to bring democracy to Burma. At the presentation, the Chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, Francis Sejested, called her "an outstanding example of the power of the powerless". After a period of time overseas, Aung San Suu Kyi went back to Burma in 1988.
