Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi is a prominent political leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate from Myanmar, widely recognized for her nonviolent struggle for democracy and human rights. Born in 1945, she is the daughter of General Aung San, a key figure in Myanmar’s independence. Suu Kyi spent years under house arrest for opposing military rule, demonstrating remarkable courage and resilience. She became the symbol of Myanmar’s pro-democracy movement and played a central role in the National League for Democracy (NLD). Her leadership helped bring democratic reforms to the country, although her later political tenure faced international criticism. Despite challenges, she remains a significant figure in Myanmar’s modern history. profile - By Claude TRUONG-NGOC - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=29137748 background -
