"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.
[The Australian magazine, May 4-5 1996, page 16-35].
