AUNG SAN SUU KYI OF BURMA By Irwin Abrams Published in THE NOBEL PRIZE ANNUAL 1991 (New York: IMG, l992: 77-85) On a hot August day in l988 the grounds at the foot of the great golden Schwedagon pagoda of Rangoon were crowded with thousands of Burmese who had come to a rally where Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced aung sahn soo chee), the daughter of the revered national hero, General Aung San, was to speak. A large picture of the general looked down from the stage, flanked by a flag of the resistance movement he had led which had brought Burma its independence in l948, a few months after he had been assassinated on the orders of a political rival. Now Burma was in the throes of political upheaval. A student-led protest movement against the military dictatorship which had ruled since l962 was in full flood, despite the brutal methods the army was using to suppress it. On 8 August soldiers had sprayed with bullets a huge peaceful demonstration, resulting in a death toll far higher than in the Tiananmen Square massacre in China a year later. The crowd at the pagoda on August 26 had heard that Suu Kyi had responded to this slaughter by calling upon the government to cease using force of arms against peaceful unarmed demonstrators and had proposed the establishment of a People's Consultative Committee to help resolve the crisis. Otherwise they knew little about her, only that she had been two years old when her father was slain, that she had lived most of the next four decades abroad, where she had married a British scholar, and that she had returned in April to nurse her mortally ill mother.

She was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1991, by which time she had been under house arrest for two out of what was to become six years. Now aged 53, Suu Kyi is the daughter of the late Burmese nationalist leader, General Aung San, whose resistance to British colonial rule culminated in Burma's independence in 1948. After attending school in the Burmese capital Rangoon, Aung San Suu Kyi lived in India, and then went to Britain for her University education. This is where she met and married her husband, Michael Aris, an Oxford University academic.

For the Burmese people, Aung San Suu Kyi represents their best and perhaps sole hope that one day there will be an end to the country's military repression. In 1991, while she was under house arrest, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to bring democracy to Burma. Aung San Suu spent six days in her car at a military roadblock in September 2000 Her sons went to Oslo to accept the award on her behalf. At the presentation, the Chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, Francis Sejested, called her "an outstanding example of the power of the powerless". "Aung San Suu Kyi cannot be silenced because she speaks the truth," he said.

Aung Suu Kyi pronounced (Sue Chee), leader of Burma's struggle for democracy and the 1991 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, is one of the world's most prominent leaders. Courageously defying Burma's brutal military regime for over 14 years, Aung San Suu Kyi also won the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2000. Hollywood Director John Boorman directed a movie about Suu Kyi and Burma in 1995, Beyond Rangoon , starring Patricia Arquette and Frances McDormand. Popularly dubbed "Burma's Gandhi", Suu Kyi's struggle to rid Burma of military dictatorship through nonviolent resistance and dialogue has gained the support of citizens around the world. Archbishop Desmond Tutu refers to Burma as the "Next South Africa". Suu Kyi's political party, the National League for Democracy, won a landslide victory in a 1990 general election, gaining an astounding 82% of the seats in parliament. The military regime subsequently annulled the election results, placing hundreds of members of parliament and Suu Kyi under arrest. She was held under house arrest from 1989-1995. Upon her release in July 1995 she stated "I am free. Nothing else has changed." Throughout the late 1990s Suu Kyi was sporadically held under house arrest, forbidden from traveling to meet her supporters or her party members. She was held under house arrest from September 2000 and re-released on May 6, 2002. The military regime launches repeated attacks against Suu Kyi and her family, calling on a group of thugs (known as the Union Solidarity and Development Association and comparable to Hitler's "brownshirts") to assassinate her. The regime's transporation secretary spoke to a crowd in early 1996: "Do you know what this means? It means we must kill her" (Letters to a Dictator, All Burma Students Democratic Front). The thugs attacked her car with chains and rocks, ceasing when it became apparent that she was protected (Economist, September 1996).

I am writing to encourage you to participate in the Nobel Peace Laureate Campaign for Aung San Suu Kyi and the People of Burma, focusing our involvement on the use and effect of landmines in Burma. As you may have noticed in the minutes of the last CC meeting, at the suggestion of ICBL member Miriam Ferrer of the Philippines CBL and Yeshua Moser-Puangsuwan, Burma LM researcher, the CC agreed that we participate in this campaign in our capacity as ICBL focused on the landmines issue, not endorsing other political activities. We encourage you to also participate in this campaign and include ideas of how you might do so below. As Landmine Monitor Report 2001 noted “Myanmar government forces and at least eleven ethnic armed groups continue to lay antipersonnel mines in significant numbers. The governments of Bangladesh and Thailand both protested use of mines by Myanmar forces inside their respective countries. In a disturbing new development, mine use is alleged to be taking place under the direction of loggers and narcotics traffickers, as well as by government and rebel forces.” How you could support the campaign: 1) Burma Peace Campaign: See an extensive memo below from the Burma Peace Campaign regarding What You can do NOW and visit their website at

Women's History Resource Site King's College History Department Aung San Suu Kyi Aung San Suu Kyi was born on January 19, 1945 in the city of Rangoon, Burma. General Aung San Kyi and Daw Khin Kyi brought her into the world. Her father, General Aung Sun, was the national leader of Burma until his assassination on July 17, 1947. His death would be one of the main contributors to her fight for peace and independence for the country of Burma. She was educated in the city of Rangoon until she was fifteen years old. Her mother would soon become Burmese ambassador to India and Nepal. In 1960 she would travel with her mother to these other countries. While living in these foreign lands she studied politics at Delhi University. She continued her education at St. Hugh's College and Oxford University where she received a BA in economics, politics, and philosophy. During the next several years she worked abroad and met her future husband Dr. Michael Aris. The couple soon married and had two children. The elections were going to be held in May of 1990 in which she was declared ineligible. Even though she was unable to run in the election the National League for Democracy had a landslide victory even without her present. She would spend the next six years of her life at her lakeside villa in Rangoon to serve her house arrest. She wrote many speeches and books that were published. During this time she received many awards dealing with her great aspiration toward peace. However, maybe her greatest honor was the Nobel Peace Prize that she won on October 14, 1991. With her prize money of 1.3 million dollars she established a health and education trust for the people of Burma.

World Tibet Network News Tuesday, February 23, 1993 1. Nobel Peace Laureates Rally for Aung San Suu Kyi (two articles) [AP, 2/19/93] CHIANG MAI Nobel Peace Prize winners criticized China on Friday for arming Burma's military junta, and urged President Clinton to prove his commitment to human rights by taking firm action against Rangoon. In a joint statement, the laureates called the Burmese "a people under siege." They urged the United Nations to suspend Burma's U.N. membership, and to impose comprehensive economic sanctions and an arms embargo. China is Burma's main arms supplier. The Burmese junta refused to let the laureates into the country, so they took their mission to neighboring Thailand. (From The Economist, February 20) A Nobel Act Sender: Tashi Rabgey (Myanmar) Winners of the Nobel peace prize are widely known to be generous-hearted people, so it was no surprise that eight of them came all the way to Thailand this week to speak up for a fellow Nobel prize-winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, who is under house arrest in Myanmar (Burma). The Thai government deserved a pat on the back, too. It ignored
