Aung San Suu Kyi MP AC (Burmeseအောင်ဆန်းစုကြည်MLCTSaung hcan: cu. krany/ŋˌsæn.sˈ/,[2] Burmese pronunciation: [àʊɴ sʰáɴ sṵ tɕì]; born 19 June 1945) is a Burmese opposition politician and chairperson of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Burma. In the 1990 general election, the NLD won 59% of the national votes and 81% (392 of 485) of the seats in Parliament.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] 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,[10] becoming one of the world's most prominent political prisoners.[11]
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 2007, the Government of Canada made her an honorary citizen of that country,[12] the fourth person ever to receive the honour.[13] In 2011, she was awarded the Wallenberg Medal.[14] On 19 September 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi was also presented with theCongressional Gold Medal, which is, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in the United States.[15]
On 1 April 2012, her party, the National League for Democracy, announced that she was elected to the Pyithu Hluttaw, the lower house of theBurmese parliament, representing the constituency of Kawhmu;[16] her party also won 43 of the 45 vacant seats in the lower house.[17] The election results were confirmed by the official electoral commission the following day.[18]
On 6 June 2013, Suu Kyi announced on the World Economic Forum’s website that she wants to run for the presidency in Myanmar's 2015 elections.[19]


Aung San Suu Kyi (birm. Aung San Suu Kyi (Burmese).svg [ʔàʊɴ sʰáɴ sṵ tɕì]Yangon19 giugno 1945) è una politica birmana, attiva da molti anni nella difesa deidiritti umani sulla scena nazionale del suo Paese, oppresso da una rigida dittatura militare, imponendosi come leader del movimento non-violento, tanto da meritare i premi Rafto e Sakharov, prima di essere insignita del Premio Nobel per la pace nel 1991. Nel 2007 l'ex Premier inglese Gordon Brown ne ha tratteggiato il ritratto nel suo volume Eight Portraits come modello di coraggio civico per la libertà[1].
