Wow, what a humble, intelligent and inspirational woman. She was put under house arrest in 1990 by the Burmese military soon after her party won the elections. She has always fought for democracy in her country. She was finally released in 2010 when she finally went to receive her Nobel Peace prize. Some more about her http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aung_San_Suu_Kyi
What amazed me the most was the fact that she shows no hate towards the people who put her under house arrest, she is focussing on the future and helping her people be free and fights for human rights. She reminds me a lot of Nelson Mandela who also fought for the people of South Africa. Truely inspirational!
