Today, 19 June is the birthday of Nobel Peace Prize winner and Burmese democracy fighter Aung San Suu Kyi. Happy Birthday!
Despite her National League for Democracy party winning 81% of the seats in Parliament at the 1990 General Election in Burma she was never allowed to take power and has spent almost 15 years under house arrest since then. Following her release in November last year the 66 year old has continued her tireless fight for Peace, Freedom and Democracy in Burma.
