Like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi has become an iconic figure. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, since 1988 she has steadfastly opposed Burmaˇ¦s brutal military regime, instituted by General Ne Win in 1962. But her leadership of the Burmese democracy movement, and her ardent advocacy of human rights, have landed her in desperate trouble.
