Aung San Suu Kyi, AC (Burmese: အောင်ဆန်းစုကြည်; MLCTS: aung hcan: cu. krany, /aʊŋˌsæn.suːˈtʃiː/,Burmese pronunciation: [àʊɴ sʰáɴ sṵ tɕì]; born 19 June 1945) is a Burmese Social Democratic stateswoman, politician and president of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Myanmar. In the 1990 general election, the NLD won 59% of the national votes and 81% (392 of 485) of the seats in Parliament. She had, however, already been detained under house arrest before the elections. She remained under house arrest in Burma for almost 15 of the 21 years from 20 July 1989 until her most recent release on 13 November 2010, becoming one of the world's most prominent political prisoners.
Suu Kyi received the Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. In 1992, she was awarded the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding by the government of India and the International Simón Bolívar Prize from the government of Venezuela. In 2012, the Government of Pakistan awarded her the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Award For Democracy. In 2007, the Government of Canada made her an honorary citizen of that country, the fourth person ever to receive the honour. In 2011, she was awarded the Wallenberg Medal. On 19 September 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi was also presented with the Congressional Gold Medal, which is, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in the United States.
Bogyoke (Major General) Aung San (Burmese: ဗိုလ်ချုပ် အောင်ဆန်း; MLCTS: buil hkyup aung hcan:, pronounced: [bòdʑoʊʔ àʊɴ sʰáɴ]); 13 February 1915 – 19 July 1947) was a Myanmar statesman, firstly Communist and later Social Democratic politician, revolutionary, nationalist, founder of the Tatmadaw, and is considered Father of the Nation of modern-day Myanmar who served as 5th Premier of British Crown Colony of Burma from 1946 to 1947. He was the founder of the Communist Party of Burma.
He was responsible for bringing Burma's independence from British rule in Burma, but was assassinated six months before independence. He is recognized as the leading architect of independence, and the founder of the Union of Burma. Affectionately known as "Bogyoke" (Major General), Aung San is still widely admired by the Burmese people, and his name is still invoked in Burmese politics to this day.
Aung San's daughter, Aung San Suu Kyi, is a Burmese stateswoman and politician and a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Myanmar (myan-MARi/miɑːnˈmɑːr/ mee-ahn-MAR,/miˈɛnmɑːr/ mee-EN-mar or /maɪˈænmɑːr/ my-AN-mar (also with the stress on first syllable); Burmese pronunciation: [mjəmà]), officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and also known as Burma, is a sovereign state in Southeast Asia bordered by Bangladesh, India, China, Laos and Thailand. One-third of Myanmar's total perimeter of 1,930 km (1,200 miles) forms an uninterrupted coastline along the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. The country's 2014 census revealed a much lower population than expected, with 51 million people recorded. Myanmar is 676,578 square kilometres (261,227 sq mi) in size. Its capital city is Naypyidaw and its largest city is Yangon (Rangoon).
Early civilisations in Myanmar included the Tibeto-Burman-speaking Pyu city-states in Upper Burma and the Mon kingdoms in Lower Burma. In the 9th century, the Bamar people entered the upper Irrawaddy valley and, following the establishment of the Pagan Kingdom in the 1050s, the Burmese language, culture and Theravada Buddhism slowly became dominant in the country. The Pagan Kingdom fell due to the Mongol invasions and several warring states emerged. In the 16th century, reunified by the Taungoo Dynasty, the country was for a brief period the largest empire in the history of Southeast Asia. The early 19th century Konbaung Dynasty ruled over an area that included modern Myanmar and briefly controlled Manipur and Assam as well. The British conquered Myanmar after three Anglo-Burmese Wars in the 19th century and the country became a British colony. Myanmar became an independent nation in 1948, initially as a democratic nation and then, following a coup d'état in 1962, a military dictatorship. While the military dictatorship formally ended in 2011, most of the party leaders are former military officers.
Sri Lankan can refer to:
A prime minister is the most senior minister of cabinet in the executive branch of government, often in a parliamentary or semi-presidential system. In many systems, the prime minister selects and may dismiss other members of the cabinet, and allocates posts to members within the government. In most systems, the prime minister is the presiding member and chairman of the cabinet. In a minority of systems, notably in semi-presidential systems of government, a prime minister is the official who is appointed to manage the civil service and execute the directives of the head of state.
In parliamentary systems fashioned after the Westminster system, the prime minister is the presiding and actual head of government and head of the executive branch. In such systems, the head of state or the head of state's official representative (i.e. the monarch, president, or governor-general) usually holds a largely ceremonial position, although often with reserve powers.
The prime minister is often, but not always, a member of parliament and is expected with other ministers to ensure the passage of bills through the legislature. In some monarchies the monarch may also exercise executive powers (known as the royal prerogative) that are constitutionally vested in the crown and may be exercised without the approval of parliament.

(5 Mar 2018) Hundreds of people marched through Yangon, Myanmar's biggest city, on Monday in a protest against an announcement last month by the country's civilian government that it will amend the country's peaceful assembly law. The Peaceful Assembly and Peaceful Procession Law was enacted in 2010 under the country's military - backed civilian government when it came into power. Under the law, for the first time in decades, people were able to march or protest on the streets if granted permission. However the current civilian government led by the Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party, proposed in the upper house parliament to amend the law with additional phrases that said "anyone who instigates, persuades others intentionally or knowingly to c...

Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi who has come under fire in recent days over the Rohingya crisis on Thursday said that her government was doing its best to protect everyone in the strife-torn state of Rakhine. The statement comes after the estimated number of Rohingya muslims who have fled to Bangladesh leapt by 18,000 in one day to 164,000. Suu Kyi also said the situation in Rakhine has been difficult for many decades and so it was "a little unreasonable" to expect her administration, which has been in power for only 18 months, to have resolved it already.

My farewell message for my husband was too late: Suu Kyi to NDTV November 15, 2012
In June 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi came to Norway to accept the Nobel Prize that had been awarded to her twenty years earlier - she didn't want to leave her home country at the time prize because she feared the regime wouldn't let her back in afterwards. When Aung San Suu Kyi visited Oslo in 2012, she gave a short interview to Ole Torp from Norwegian public broadcaster NRK. The exchange was broadcast a few hours after Aung San Suu Kyi had delivered her acceptance speech. I figured this is something I should upload - because I can't be uploading meaningless entertainment *all* the time, because this lady is talking sense and because she shows how even politicians can be polite. And perhaps because she's the cutest political rebel in living memory. ;-)

In the world of drugs, Heroin is the ultimate security blanket. Its consumption marked by a euphoric rush, a warm feeling of relaxation, a sense of security and protection. Any sense of anger, frustration or pain disappears. This makes heroin one of the most addictive of all illicit drugs. And there are few corners of Asia where heroin is so pure, cheap and readily available as Northern Myanmar. Myanmar is now one of the worst consumers of this illegal narcotic. It has become a society of lost hopes and dreams. Where breaking away from heroin’s deadly grip is impossibly far away. It has become a nation trapped by drug addiction and life by life, this addiction has become Myanmar’s greatest despair. Credits: Correspondent: Dusita Saokaew Videographer/Editor: Taimoor Sobhan

In late May, news broke of the brutal rape and murder of a Buddhist woman in Myanmar's Rakhine state. It was, by all accounts, a horrific crime. What made it worse for some was that the alleged perpetrators...
