	"Aung San Suu Kyi (Burma)"
	--------------------------
	
	The most impressive and charismatic woman in Asia is a Nobel 
	Peace Prize laureate and champion of Burma's democratic movement. 
	Daughter of the Burmese independence leader, Aung San, she was placed 
	under house arrest by the country's ruling military junta in 1989 for 
	leading a pro-democracy uprising. She was released last year after six 
	years' detention, without bowing to her captors. In 1988 she helped to 
	found the national League for Democracy, which won a landslide victory 
	two years later. The military refused to honour the results and 
	bloddily suppressed all dissent. During her detention, she refused 
	offers of freedom in exchange for exile and remained committed to 
	democracy. She is the most potent symbol of the struggle for democracy
 	under South-East Asia's most reviled regime.
