Aung San Suu Kyi (MYnameMY=??????????????? opposition politician and General Secretary of the National League for Democracy.

In the 1990 general election (Myanmar general election, 1990), Suu Kyi was elected Prime Minister (Prime Minister of Myanmar), as leader of the winning National League for Democracy party, which won 59% of the vote and 394 of 492 seats. She had, however, already been detained under house arrest before the elections. She has remained under house arrest in Myanmar for almost 14 out of the past 20 years.

Suu Kyi was the recipient of the Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought (Sakharov Prize) in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. In 1992 she was awarded the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding (Jawaharlal Nehru Award) by the Government of India.

She is frequently called Daw (Burmese name) Aung San Suu Kyi; Daw is not part of her name, but is an honorific similar to madam for older, revered women, literally meaning "aunt". Her name is derived from three relatives; "Aung San" from her father, "Kyi" from her mother and "Suu" from her grandmother. Strictly speaking, she has no surname (Burmese name), but it is acceptable to refer to her as "Ms. Suu Kyi" or "Dr. Suu Kyi", since those syllables serve to distinguish her from her father, General Aung San (Aung San), who is considered to be the father (Pater Patriae) of modern-day Burma.
