Aung San Suu Kyi - Details - Category: Biography Name at birth: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Aung San Suu Kyi is the leader of the National League for Democracy of Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi was born on 19th June 1945, in Rangoon, Burma. Her father was Aung San, the great man who negotiated Burma's independence from the United Kingdom in 1947. She lost her father when she was hardly two years, the result of an assassination attempt on his life. She lost one of her brothers, Aung San Lin, in a pool accident. Her elder brother, Aung San 00, migrated to San Diego and became a US citizen. Throughout her childhood, Suu Kyi received her education in the English Catholic schools of Burma. With the formation of a new Burmese government, Khin Kyi (her mother) gained prominence in politics and was appointed as the Burmese ambassador to India in 1960. Suu Kyi also went with her mother and graduated from Lady Shri Ram College of Delhi University. Aung San Suu Kyi obtained a B.A. degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, from St Hugh's College of Oxford University, in the year 1967. She was elected Honorary Fellow at Oxford University, in 1990. In 1971, Suu Kyi went to New York for further studies. At that time U Thant of Burma was the Secretary General of the UN. Suu Kyi joined U.N. secretariat as Assistant Secretary, Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions. During weekends she volunteered at hospital, helping indigent patients in programmes of reading and companionship. In 1972, she married Dr. Michael Aris, a scholar of Tibetan culture. The next year, she gave birth to a son, Alexander (in London) and in 1977, the couple had their second son, Kim. In 1988, Aung San Suu Kyi came back to Burma, mainly for the purpose of looking after her ailing mother. The same year, General Ne Win, the leader of the ruling socialist party, stepped down. This led to protests and demonstrations throughout the country. The ultimate result was taking over of the power by a military junta. This is the time when Suu Kyi entered politics, to make efforts for ushering democracy once again in Burma. She was one of the founders of the National League for Democracy, formed on 271h September 1988. In 1990, military junta of Burma held a general election, in which Suu Kyi's party, National League for Democracy, won. Though this would have made her the Prime Minster of Burma, the military junta refused to hand over power and declared the elections as nullified. Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest and the same year, she won Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. The next year, she became the recipient of the Noble Peace Prize. 1995, after a gap of five years, Aung San Suu Kyi was granted release from the house arrest. However, she was refused the permission to go out of the country. Her husband became a victim of cancer in 1997 and being denied a visa to Burma, died without her in 1999. In September 2000, Aung San Suu Kyi was again put under house arrest and remained imprisoned till 2002. Her caravan was attacked in the year 2003, by an allegedly 'government-sponsored' mob. Though Suu Kyi managed to flee from the scene, she was arrested upon reaching Ye-U, lodged in Insein Prison and finally, again placed under house arrest. Since that year, she has been constantly under house arrest, the arrest being extended every year, for another 12 months. During this time, she has met a few UN envoys and even her party member (in 2007). Even after appeal from so many countries and organizations, Burmese authorities refuse to set her free. Suu Kyi is a shining beacon of non-violent struggle for democracy. - asia - politcian

Nobelovka Suu Kyi prisegnula pred parlamentom Aung San Suu Kyi i 33 zastupnika iz njezine stranke Nacionalne lige za demokraciju (NLD) prisegnuli su da će "štititi" ustav zbog kojeg su prvotno bojkotirali parlament Dobitnica Nobelove nagrade za mir Aung San Suu Kyi u srijedu je prisegnula pred mianmarskim parlamentom i tako završila jednotjedni bojkot u preuzimanju svog prvog zastupničkog mandata nakon dvaju desetljeća političke borbe, javlja Hina. Oporbena prvakinja koja je svoj prvi mandat u parlamentu osvojila na parcijalnim izborima za popunu parlamenta 1. travnja i još 33 zastupnika iz njezine stranke Nacionalne lige za demokraciju (NLD) prisegnuli su zajedno da će "štititi" ustav koji vojsci daje velike ovlasti. "Bit ću odan Saveznoj Republici Mianmaru i njezinim stanovnicima i uvijek ću paziti na očuvanje njezina jedinstva, nacionalnu solidarnosti i suverenitet", izgovorili su, stojeći pred predsjednikom donjeg doma, umirovljenim generalom Shweom Mannom. Suu Kyi (66) ušla je u politiku 1988. i ubrzo je postala jedna od najpoznatijih disidentkinja na svijetu, koja je petnaest godina provela u kućnom pritvoru. Pošto je prije godinu dana vojnu huntu zamijenila civilna vlast bivših vojnih dužnosnika sklonih reformama, vratila se na političku pozornicu kako bi s dojučerašnjim neprijateljima radila na istinskoj demokratiziaciji domaćeg političkog sustava. No ona i njezini kolege iz NLD-a odbili su prošlog tjedna položiti svečanu prisegu, ne želeći se obvezati na "zaštitu" ustava koji je 2008. donijela hunta, već samo na njegovo "poštovanje". Oporbena čelnica je tek u ponedjeljak odlučila prekinuti bojkot i preuzeti dužnost u parlamentu da ne bi izazvala krizu s reformatorskom vladom predsjednika Theina Seina. I Sjedinjene Države su s odobravanjem dočekale tu odluku koju su nazvale "pozitivnim znakom" suradnje NLD-a i vlade. "Želimo da novoizabrani zastupnici sudjeluju u radu parlamenta. Želimo da konstruktivno surađuju s vladom", poručilo je američko ministarstvo vanjskih poslova. Nedavne reforme u Mianmaru potaknule su Zapad da prekine diplomatsku izolaciju zemlje. EU je na godinu dana ukinuo svoje političke i gospodarske sankcije, osim embarga na oružje. SAD se zadovoljio ublažavanjem nekih ograničenja u gospodarskom ulaganju i obećao je da će ubrzo imenovati veleposlanika ne bi li zadržao mogućnost pritiska na režim.
