Aung San Suu Kyi အောင်ဆန်းစုကြည်

1945 CE –

The daughter of Aung San, Burma’s popular and still admired but assassinated “Father of the Nation” who negotiated independence from British rule, established a new government and became a national hero; Suu Kyi helped lead a rebellion against a corrupt government that had made Burma one of the world’s poorest countries. Sustained by her Buddhist practice and dedication to love and compassion, she transformed imprisonment, threats, slander, and 15 years of house arrest into becoming the world’s most famous political prisoner. After leading her party to a landslide victory for the first civilian government in over 50 years, she became according to Barak Obama, “a beacon of hope” for millions of oppressed people around the world.
