Aung San Suu Kyi

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi[a] (born 19 June 1945),

sometimes abbreviated to Suu Kyi,[4] is a Burmese Daw
politician, diplomat, author, and pro-democracy Aung San Suu Kyi
activist who served as State Counsellor of Myanmar အောင်ဆန်းစုကြည်
(equivalent to a prime minister) and Minister of
Foreign Affairs from 2016 to 2021. She has served as
the general secretary of the National League for
Democracy (NLD) since the party's founding in 1988
and was registered as its chairperson while it was a
legal party from 2011 to 2023.[5][6][7] She played a
vital role in Myanmar's transition from military junta
to partial democracy in the 2010s.

The youngest daughter of Aung San, Father of the

Nation of modern-day Myanmar, and Khin Kyi, Aung
San Suu Kyi was born in Rangoon, British Burma.
After graduating from the University of Delhi in 1964
and St Hugh's College, Oxford in 1968, she worked at
the United Nations for three years. She married Aung San Suu Kyi in 2019

Aung San Lin died at the age of eight when he January 2013[2]
drowned in an ornamental lake on the grounds of the
house.[22] Her elder brother emigrated to San Diego,
California, becoming a United States citizen.[22] After Aung San Lin's death, the family moved to a house
by Inya Lake where Aung San Suu Kyi met people of various backgrounds, political views, and
religions.[30] She was educated in Methodist English High School (now Basic Education High School
No. 1 Dagon) for much of her childhood in Burma, where she was noted as having a talent for learning
languages.[31] She speaks four languages: Burmese, English (with a British accent), French, and
Japanese.[32] She is a Theravada Buddhist.[32]
Aung San Suu Kyi's mother, Khin Kyi, gained prominence as a political figure in the newly formed
Burmese government. She was appointed Burmese ambassador to India and Nepal in 1960, and Aung San
Suu Kyi followed her there. She studied in the Convent of Jesus and Mary School in New Delhi, and
graduated from Lady Shri Ram College, a constituent college of the University of Delhi in New Delhi,
with a degree in politics in 1964.[33][34] Suu Kyi continued her education at St Hugh's College, Oxford,
obtaining a B.A. degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics in 1967,[35] graduating with a third-class
degree[36][37][38] that was promoted per tradition to an MA in 1968. After graduating, she lived in New
York City with family friend Ma Than E, who was once a popular Burmese pop singer.[39] She worked at
the United Nations for three years, primarily on budget matters, writing daily to her future husband, Dr.
Michael Aris.[40] On 1 January 1972, Aung San Suu Kyi and Aris, a scholar of Tibetan culture and
literature, living abroad in Bhutan, were married.[33][41] The following year, she gave birth to their first
son, Alexander Aris, in London; their second son, Kim Aris, was born in 1977. Between 1985 and 1987,
Aung San Suu Kyi was working toward a Master of Philosophy degree in Burmese literature as a
research student at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.[42][43] She
was elected as an Honorary Fellow of St Hugh's in 1990.[33] For two years, she was a Fellow at the
Indian Institute of Advanced Studies (IIAS) in Shimla, India. She also worked for the government of the
Union of Burma.[33]

In 1988, Aung San Suu Kyi returned to Burma to tend for her ailing mother. Aris' visit in Christmas 1995
was the last time that he and Aung San Suu Kyi met, as she remained in Burma and the Burmese
dictatorship denied him any further entry visas.[33] Aris was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997
which was later found to be terminal. Despite appeals from prominent figures and organizations,
including the United States, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Pope John Paul II, the Burmese
government would not grant Aris a visa, saying that they did not have the facilities to care for him, and
instead urged Aung San Suu Kyi to leave the country to visit him. She was at that time temporarily free
from house arrest but was unwilling to depart, fearing that she would be refused re-entry if she left, as she
did not trust the military junta's assurance that she could return.[44]

Aris died on his 53rd birthday on 27 March 1999. Since 1989, when his wife was first placed under house
arrest, he had seen her only five times, the last of which was for Christmas in 1995. She was also
separated from her children, who live in the United Kingdom, until 2011.[45]

On 2 May 2008, after Cyclone Nargis hit Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi's dilapidated lakeside bungalow lost
its roof and electricity, while the cyclone also left entire villages in the Irrawaddy delta submerged.[46]
Plans to renovate and repair the house were announced in August 2009.[47] Aung San Suu Kyi was
released from house arrest on 13 November 2010.[4]

Political career

Political beginning
Coincidentally, when Aung San Suu Kyi returned to Burma in 1988, the long-time military leader of
Burma and head of the ruling party, General Ne Win, stepped down.[48] Mass demonstrations for
democracy followed that event on 8 August 1988 (8–8–88, a day seen as auspicious), which were
violently suppressed in what came to be known as the 8888 Uprising. On 24 August 1988, she made her
first public appearance at the Yangon General Hospital, addressing protestors from a podium.[49] On 26
August, she addressed half a million people at a mass rally in front
of the Shwedagon Pagoda in the capital, calling for a democratic
government.[33] However, in September 1988, a new military
junta took power.[33]

Influenced[50] by both Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of non-

violence[51][52] and also by the Buddhist concepts,[53] Aung San
Suu Kyi entered politics to work for democratization, helped
found the National League for Democracy on 27 September Aung San Suu Kyi at her

commanders and senior politicians who joined NLD during the
crisis believed that she was too confrontational and left NLD.
However, she retained enormous popularity and support among NLD youths with whom she spent most
of her time.[55]

During the crisis, the previous democratically elected Prime Minister of Burma, U Nu, initiated to form
an interim government and invited opposition leaders to join him. Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi
had signaled his readiness to recognize the interim government. However, Aung San Suu Kyi
categorically rejected U Nu's plan by saying "the future of the opposition would be decided by masses of
the people". Ex-Brigadier General Aung Gyi, another influential politician at the time of the 8888 crisis
and the first chairman in the history of the NLD, followed the suit and rejected the plan after Aung San
Suu Kyi's refusal.[56] Aung Gyi later accused several NLD members of being communists and resigned
from the party.[55]

1990 general election and Nobel Peace Prize

In 1990, the military junta called a general election, in which the
National League for Democracy (NLD) received 59% of the votes,
guaranteeing NLD 80% of the parliament seats.[57] Some claim
that Aung San Suu Kyi would have assumed the office of Prime
Minister.[58] Instead, the results were nullified and the military
refused to hand over power, resulting in an international outcry. Suu Kyi meets with Edgardo

Thought in 1990, and the Nobel Peace Prize one year later. Her
sons Alexander and Kim accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her
behalf. Aung San Suu Kyi used the Nobel Peace Prize's US$1.3 million prize money to establish a health
and education trust for the Burmese people.[59] Around this time, Aung San Suu Kyi chose nonviolence
as an expedient political tactic, stating in 2007, "I do not hold to nonviolence for moral reasons, but for
political and practical reasons."[60]

The decision of the Nobel Committee mentions:[61]

 The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to
Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma) for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human
rights.

... Suu Kyi's struggle is one of the most extraordinary examples of civil courage in Asia in
recent decades. She has become an important symbol in the struggle against oppression ...

... In awarding the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Norwegian Nobel
Committee wishes to honour this woman for her unflagging efforts and to show its support for
the many people throughout the world who are striving to attain democracy, human rights, and
ethnic conciliation by peaceful means.

— Oslo, 14 October 1991

In 1995 Aung San Suu Kyi delivered the keynote address at the Fourth World Conference on Women in
Beijing.[62]

1996 attack
On 9 November 1996, the motorcade that Aung San Suu Kyi was traveling in with other National League
for Democracy leaders Tin Oo and Kyi Maung, was attacked in Yangon. About 200 men swooped down
on the motorcade, wielding metal chains, metal batons, stones and other weapons. The car that Aung San
Suu Kyi was in had its rear window smashed, and the car with Tin Oo and Kyi Maung had its rear
window and two backdoor windows shattered. It is believed the offenders were members of the Union
Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) who were allegedly paid Ks.500/- (@ USD $0.50) each
to participate.[63] The NLD lodged an official complaint with the police, and according to reports the
government launched an investigation, but no action was taken. (Amnesty International 120297)[64][65]

House arrest
Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest for a total of 15 years over a 21-year period, on
numerous occasions, since she began her political career,[66] during which time she was prevented from
meeting her party supporters and international visitors. In an interview, she said that while under house
arrest she spent her time reading philosophy, politics and biographies that her husband had sent her.[67]
She also passed the time playing the piano and was occasionally allowed visits from foreign diplomats as
well as from her personal physician.[68]

Although under house arrest, Aung San Suu Kyi was granted permission to leave Burma under the
condition that she never return, which she refused: "As a mother, the greater sacrifice was giving up my
sons, but I was always aware of the fact that others had given up more than me. I never forget that my
colleagues who are in prison suffer not only physically, but mentally for their families who have no
security outside—in the larger prison of Burma under authoritarian rule."[69]

The media were also prevented from visiting Aung San Suu Kyi, as occurred in 1998 when journalist
Maurizio Giuliano, after photographing her, was stopped by customs officials who then confiscated all his
films, tapes and some notes.[70] In contrast, Aung San Suu Kyi did have visits from government
representatives, such as during her autumn 1994 house arrest when she met the leader of Burma, Senior
General Than Shwe and General Khin Nyunt on 20 September in the first meeting since she had been
placed in detention.[33] On several occasions during her house arrest, she had periods of poor health and
as a result was hospitalized.[71]

The Burmese government detained and kept Aung San Suu Kyi imprisoned because it viewed her as
someone "likely to undermine the community peace and stability" of the country, and used both Article
10(a) and 10(b) of the 1975 State Protection Act (granting the government the power to imprison people
for up to five years without a trial),[72] and Section 22 of the "Law to Safeguard the State Against the
Dangers of Those Desiring to Cause Subversive Acts" as legal tools against her.[73] She continuously
appealed her detention,[74] and many nations and figures continued to call for her release and that of
2,100 other political prisoners in the country.[75][76] On 12 November 2010, days after the junta-backed
Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) won elections conducted after a gap of 20 years, the
junta finally agreed to sign orders allowing Aung San Suu Kyi's release, and her house arrest term came
to an end on 13 November 2010.[77]

United Nations involvement

The United Nations (UN) has attempted to facilitate dialogue between the junta and Aung San Suu
Kyi.[33] On 6 May 2002, following secret confidence-building negotiations led by the UN, the
government released her; a government spokesman said that she was free to move "because we are
confident that we can trust each other". Aung San Suu Kyi proclaimed "a new dawn for the country".
However, on 30 May 2003 in an incident similar to the 1996 attack on her, a government-sponsored mob
attacked her caravan in the northern village of Depayin, murdering and wounding many of her
supporters.[78] Aung San Suu Kyi fled the scene with the help of her driver, Kyaw Soe Lin, but was
arrested upon reaching Ye-U. The government imprisoned her at Insein Prison in Rangoon. After she
underwent a hysterectomy in September 2003, the government again placed her under house arrest in
Rangoon.[79]

The results from the UN facilitation have been mixed; Razali Ismail, UN special envoy to Burma, met
with Aung San Suu Kyi. Ismail resigned from his post the following year, partly because he was denied
re-entry to Burma on several occasions.[80] Several years later in 2006, Ibrahim Gambari, UN
Undersecretary-General (USG) of Department of Political Affairs, met with Aung San Suu Kyi, the first
visit by a foreign official since 2004.[81] He also met with her later the same year.[82] On 2 October 2007
Gambari returned to talk to her again after seeing Than Shwe and other members of the senior leadership
in Naypyidaw.[83] State television broadcast Aung San Suu Kyi with Gambari, stating that they had met
twice. This was Aung San Suu Kyi's first appearance in state media in the four years since her current
detention began.[84]

The United Nations Working Group for Arbitrary Detention published an Opinion that Aung San Suu
Kyi's deprivation of liberty was arbitrary and in contravention of Article 9 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights 1948, and requested that the authorities in Burma set her free, but the authorities ignored
the request at that time.[85] The U.N. report said that according to the Burmese Government's reply, "Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi has not been arrested, but has only been taken into protective custody, for her own
safety", and while "it could have instituted legal action against her under the country's domestic
legislation ... it has preferred to adopt a magnanimous attitude, and is providing her with protection in her
own interests".[85]
Such claims were rejected by Brigadier-General Khin Yi, Chief of Myanmar Police Force (MPF). On 18
January 2007, the state-run paper New Light of Myanmar accused Aung San Suu Kyi of tax evasion for
spending her Nobel Prize money outside the country. The accusation followed the defeat of a US-
sponsored United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Burma as a threat to international
security; the resolution was defeated because of strong opposition from China, which has strong ties with
the military junta (China later voted against the resolution, along with Russia and South Africa).[86]

In November 2007, it was reported that Aung San Suu Kyi would meet her political allies National
League for Democracy along with a government minister. The ruling junta made the official
announcement on state TV and radio just hours after UN special envoy Ibrahim Gambari ended his
second visit to Burma. The NLD confirmed that it had received the invitation to hold talks with Aung San
Suu Kyi.[87] However, the process delivered few concrete results.[87]

On 3 July 2009, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon went to Burma to pressure the junta into releasing
Aung San Suu Kyi and to institute democratic reform. However, on departing from Burma, Ban Ki-moon
said he was "disappointed" with the visit after junta leader Than Shwe refused permission for him to visit
Aung San Suu Kyi, citing her ongoing trial. Ban said he was "deeply disappointed that they have missed
a very important opportunity".[88]

Periods under detention

20 July 1989: Placed under house arrest in Rangoon under martial law that allows for
detention without charge or trial for three years.[33]
10 July 1995: Released from house arrest.[22]
23 September 2000: Placed under house arrest.[66]
6 May 2002: Released after 19 months.[66]
30 May 2003: Arrested following the Depayin massacre, she was held in secret detention for
more than three months before being returned to house arrest.[89]
25 May 2007: House arrest extended by one year despite a direct appeal from U.N.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan to General Than Shwe.[90]
24 October 2007: Reached 12 years under house arrest, solidarity protests held at 12 cities
around the world.[91]
27 May 2008: House arrest extended for another year, which is illegal under both
international law and Burma's own law.[92]
11 August 2009: House arrest extended for 18 more months because of "violation" arising
from the May 2009 trespass incident.[33]
13 November 2010: Released from house arrest.[93]

2007 anti-government protests

Protests led by Buddhist monks during Saffron Revolution began on 19 August 2007 following steep fuel
price increases, and continued each day, despite the threat of a crackdown by the military.[94]

On 22 September 2007, although still under house arrest, Aung San Suu Kyi made a brief public
appearance at the gate of her residence in Yangon to accept the blessings of Buddhist monks who were
marching in support of human rights.[95] It was reported that she had been moved the following day to
Insein Prison (where she had been detained in 2003),[96][97][98][99] but meetings with UN envoy Ibrahim
Gambari near her Rangoon home on 30 September and 2 October established that she remained under
house arrest.[100][101]

2009 trespass incident

On 3 May 2009, an American man, identified as John Yettaw,
swam across Inya Lake to her house uninvited and was arrested
when he made his return trip three days later.[102] He had
attempted to make a similar trip two years earlier, but for unknown
reasons was turned away.[103] He later claimed at trial that he was
motivated by a divine vision requiring him to notify her of an
impending terrorist assassination attempt.[104] On 13 May, Aung
San Suu Kyi was arrested for violating the terms of her house
arrest because the swimmer, who pleaded exhaustion, was allowed US Senator Jim Webb visiting Aung
to stay in her house for two days before he attempted the swim San Suu Kyi in 2009. Webb

intrusion.[105] The trial of Aung San Suu Kyi and her two maids
began on 18 May and a small number of protesters gathered
outside.[106][107] Diplomats and journalists were barred from attending the trial; however, on one
occasion, several diplomats from Russia, Thailand and Singapore and journalists were allowed to meet
Aung San Suu Kyi.[108] The prosecution had originally planned to call 22 witnesses.[109] It also accused
John Yettaw of embarrassing the country.[110] During the ongoing defence case, Aung San Suu Kyi said
she was innocent. The defence was allowed to call only one witness (out of four), while the prosecution
was permitted to call 14 witnesses. The court rejected two character witnesses, NLD members Tin Oo and
Win Tin, and permitted the defence to call only a legal expert.[111] According to one unconfirmed report,
the junta was planning to, once again, place her in detention, this time in a military base outside the
city.[112] In a separate trial, Yettaw said he swam to Aung San Suu Kyi's house to warn her that her life
was "in danger".[113] The national police chief later confirmed that Yettaw was the "main culprit" in the
case filed against Aung San Suu Kyi.[114] According to aides, Aung San Suu Kyi spent her 64th birthday
in jail sharing biryani rice and chocolate cake with her guards.[115]

Her arrest and subsequent trial received worldwide condemnation by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-
moon, the United Nations Security Council,[116] Western governments,[117] South Africa,[118] Japan[119]
and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, of which Burma is a member.[120] The Burmese
government strongly condemned the statement, as it created an "unsound tradition"[121] and criticised
Thailand for meddling in its internal affairs.[122] The Burmese Foreign Minister Nyan Win was quoted in
the state-run newspaper New Light of Myanmar as saying that the incident "was trumped up to intensify
international pressure on Burma by internal and external anti-government elements who do not wish to
see the positive changes in those countries' policies toward Burma".[110] Ban responded to an
international campaign[123] by flying to Burma to negotiate, but Than Shwe rejected all of his
requests.[124]

On 11 August 2009, the trial concluded with Aung San Suu Kyi being sentenced to imprisonment for
three years with hard labour. This sentence was commuted by the military rulers to further house arrest of
18 months.[125] On 14 August, US Senator Jim Webb visited Burma, visiting with junta leader General
Than Shwe and later with Aung San Suu Kyi. During the visit, Webb negotiated Yettaw's release and
deportation from Burma.[126] Following the verdict of the trial, lawyers of Aung San Suu Kyi said they
would appeal against the 18-month sentence.[127] On 18 August, United States President Barack Obama
asked the country's military leadership to set free all political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi.[128]
In her appeal, Aung San Suu Kyi had argued that the conviction was unwarranted. However, her appeal
against the August sentence was rejected by a Burmese court on 2 October 2009. Although the court
accepted the argument that the 1974 constitution, under which she had been charged, was null and void, it
also said the provisions of the 1975 security law, under which she has been kept under house arrest,
remained in force. The verdict effectively meant that she would be unable to participate in the elections
scheduled to take place in 2010—the first in Burma in two decades. Her lawyer stated that her legal team
would pursue a new appeal within 60 days.[129]

Late 2000s: International support for release

Aung San Suu Kyi has received vocal support from Western

America, as well as India,[26] Israel,[132] Japan[133] the Philippines
and South Korea.[134] In December 2007, the US House of
Representatives voted unanimously 400–0 to award Aung San Suu
Kyi the Congressional Gold Medal; the Senate concurred on 25
April 2008.[135] On 6 May 2008, President George W. Bush

growing criticism of her detention by Burma's neighbours in the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), particularly
from Indonesia,[137] Thailand,[138] the Philippines[139][140] and
Singapore.[141] At one point Malaysia warned Burma that it faced
expulsion from ASEAN as a result of the detention of Aung San
Suu Kyi.[142] Other nations including South Africa,[143]
Bangladesh[144] and the Maldives[145] also called for her release.

human rights situation in Burma and calling for Aung San Suu European Parliament's Strasbourg
Kyi's release—80 countries voting for the resolution, 25 against hemicycle, in 2013
and 45 abstentions. [147] Other nations, such as China and Russia,
are less critical of the regime and prefer to cooperate only on
economic matters.[148] Indonesia has urged China to push Burma for reforms.[149] However, Samak
Sundaravej, former Prime Minister of Thailand, criticised the amount of support for Aung San Suu Kyi,
saying that "Europe uses Aung San Suu Kyi as a tool. If it's not related to Aung San Suu Kyi, you can
have deeper discussions with Myanmar."[150]

Vietnam, however, did not support calls by other ASEAN member states for Myanmar to free Aung San
Suu Kyi, state media reported Friday, 14 August 2009.[151] The state-run Việt Nam News said Vietnam
had no criticism of Myanmar's decision 11 August 2009 to place Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest
for the next 18 months, effectively barring her from elections
scheduled for 2010. "It is our view that the Aung San Suu Kyi trial
is an internal affair of Myanmar", Vietnamese government
spokesman Le Dung stated on the website of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. In contrast with other ASEAN member states,
Dung said Vietnam has always supported Myanmar and hopes it
will continue to implement the "roadmap to democracy" outlined
by its government.[152]

Suu Kyi to "create the necessary conditions for a genuine dialogue
with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all concerned parties and ethnic
groups to achieve an inclusive national reconciliation with the
direct support of the United Nations".[33] Some of the money she

It was announced prior to the 2010 Burmese general election that

Aung San Suu Kyi may be released "so she can organize her party",[155] However, Aung San Suu Kyi
was not allowed to run.[156] On 1 October 2010 the government announced that she would be released on
13 November 2010.[157]

US President Barack Obama personally advocated the release of all political prisoners, especially Aung
San Suu Kyi, during the US-ASEAN Summit of 2009.[158]

The US Government hoped that successful general elections would be an optimistic indicator of the
Burmese government's sincerity towards eventual democracy.[159] The Hatoyama government which
spent 2.82 billion yen in 2008, has promised more Japanese foreign aid to encourage Burma to release
Aung San Suu Kyi in time for the elections; and to continue moving towards democracy and the rule of
law.[159][160]

In a personal letter to Aung San Suu Kyi, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown cautioned the Burmese
government of the potential consequences of rigging elections as "condemning Burma to more years of
diplomatic isolation and economic stagnation".[161]

Aung San Suu Kyi met with many heads of state and opened a dialog with the Minister of Labor Aung
Kyi (not to be confused with Aung San Suu Kyi).[162] She was allowed to meet with senior members of
her NLD party at the State House, however these meetings took place under close supervision.[163]

2010 release
On the evening of 13 November 2010, Aung San Suu Kyi was
released from house arrest.[164] This was the date her detention
had been set to expire according to a court ruling in August
2009[165] and came six days after a widely criticised general
election. She appeared in front of a crowd of her supporters, who
rushed to her house in Rangoon when nearby barricades were
removed by the security forces. Aung San Suu Kyi had been
detained for 15 of the past 21 years.[166] The government

newspaper New Light of Myanmar reported the release crowds at the NLD headquarters

her sentence "in good conduct".[168] The New York Times
suggested that the military government may have released Aung
San Suu Kyi because it felt it was in a confident position to
control her supporters after the election.[167] Her son Kim Aris
was granted a visa in November 2010 to see his mother shortly
after her release, for the first time in 10 years.[169] He visited again
on 5 July 2011, to accompany her on a trip to Bagan, her first trip
outside Yangon since 2003.[170] Her son visited again on 8 August
2011, to accompany her on a trip to Pegu, her second trip.[171]
Aung San Suu Kyi meets with US
Discussions were held between Aung San Suu Kyi and the Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Burmese government during 2011, which led to a number of Clinton in Yangon (1 December
official gestures to meet her demands. In October, around a tenth 2011)

of Burma's political prisoners were freed in an amnesty and trade

unions were legalised.[172][173]

In November 2011, following a meeting of its leaders, the NLD announced its intention to re-register as a
political party to contend 48 by-elections necessitated by the promotion of parliamentarians to ministerial
rank.[174] Following the decision, Aung San Suu Kyi held a telephone conference with US President
Barack Obama, in which it was agreed that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would make a visit to
Burma, a move received with caution by Burma's ally China.[175] On 1 December 2011, Aung San Suu
Kyi met with Hillary Clinton at the residence of the top-ranking US diplomat in Yangon.[176]

On 21 December 2011, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra met Aung San Suu Kyi in Yangon,
marking Aung San Suu Kyi's "first-ever meeting with the leader of a foreign country".[177]

On 5 January 2012, British Foreign Minister William Hague met Aung San Suu Kyi and his Burmese
counterpart. This represented a significant visit for Aung San Suu Kyi and Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi
studied in the UK and maintains many ties there, whilst Britain is Burma's largest bilateral donor. During
Aung San Suu Kyi's visit to Europe, she visited the Swiss parliament, collected her 1991 Nobel Prize in
Oslo and her honorary degree from the University of Oxford.[178][179][180]

2012 by-elections
In December 2011, there was speculation that Aung San Suu Kyi would run in the 2012 national by-
elections to fill vacant seats.[181] On 18 January 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi formally registered to contest a
Pyithu Hluttaw (lower house) seat in the Kawhmu Township constituency in special parliamentary
elections to be held on 1 April 2012.[182][183] The seat was previously held by Soe Tint, who vacated it
after being appointed Construction Deputy Minister, in the 2010 election.[184] She ran against Union
Solidarity and Development Party candidate Soe Min, a retired army physician and native of Twante
Township.[185]

On 3 March 2012, at a large campaign rally in Mandalay, Aung

San Suu Kyi unexpectedly left after 15 minutes, because of
exhaustion and airsickness.[186]

In an official campaign speech broadcast on Burmese state

television's MRTV on 14 March 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi publicly
campaigned for reform of the 2008 Constitution, removal of
restrictive laws, more adequate protections for people's democratic
rights, and establishment of an independent judiciary.[187] The Aung San Suu Kyi (Center) gives a
speech to the supporters during the
speech was leaked online a day before it was broadcast.[188] A
2012 by-election campaign at her
paragraph in the speech, focusing on the Tatmadaw's repression by constituency Kawhmu township,
means of law, was censored by authorities.[189] Myanmar on 22 March 2012.

Aung San Suu Kyi also called for international media to monitor
the by-elections, while publicly pointing out irregularities in official voter lists, which include deceased
individuals and exclude other eligible voters in the contested constituencies.[190][191] On 21 March 2012,
Aung San Suu Kyi was quoted as saying "Fraud and rule violations are continuing and we can even say
they are increasing."[192]

When asked whether she would assume a ministerial post if given the opportunity, she said the
following:[193]

I can tell you one thing—that under the present constitution, if you become a member of the
government you have to vacate your seat in the national assembly. And I am not working so
hard to get into parliament simply to vacate my seat.

On 26 March 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi suspended her nationwide campaign tour early, after a campaign
rally in Myeik (Mergui), a coastal town in the south, citing health problems due to exhaustion and hot
weather.[194]

On 1 April 2012, the NLD announced that Aung San Suu Kyi had
won the vote for a seat in Parliament.[195] A news broadcast on
state-run MRTV, reading the announcements of the Union Election
Commission, confirmed her victory, as well as her party's victory
in 43 of the 45 contested seats, officially making Aung San Suu
Kyi the Leader of the Opposition in the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw.[196]

Although she and other MP-elects were expected to take office on

23 April when the Hluttaws resumed session, National League for US President Barack Obama and
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Democracy MP-elects, including Aung San Suu Kyi, said they
with Aung San Suu Kyi and her staff
might not take their oaths because of its wording; in its present at her home in Yangon, 2012
form, parliamentarians must vow to "safeguard" the
constitution.[197][198] In an address on Radio Free Asia, she said "We don't mean we will not attend the
parliament, we mean we will attend only after taking the oath ... Changing that wording in the oath is also
in conformity with the Constitution. I don't expect there will be any difficulty in doing it."[199]

On 2 May 2012, National League for Democracy MP-elects, including Aung San Suu Kyi, took their
oaths and took office, though the wording of the oath was not changed.[200] According to the Los Angeles
Times, "Suu Kyi and her colleagues decided they could do more by joining as lawmakers than
maintaining their boycott on principle."[200] On 9 July 2012, she attended the Parliament for the first time
as a lawmaker.[201][202]

2015 general election

On 16 June 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi was finally able to deliver her Nobel acceptance speech (Nobel
lecture) at Oslo's City Hall, two decades after being awarded the peace prize.[203][204] In September 2012,
Aung San Suu Kyi received in person the United States Congressional Gold Medal, which is the highest
Congressional award. Although she was awarded this medal in 2008, at the time she was under house
arrest, and was unable to receive the medal. Aung San Suu Kyi was greeted with bipartisan support at
Congress, as part of a coast-to-coast tour in the United States. In addition, Aung San Suu Kyi met
President Barack Obama at the White House. The experience was described by Aung San Suu Kyi as
"one of the most moving days of my life".[205][206] In 2014, she was listed as the 61st-most-powerful
woman in the world by Forbes.[207][208][209][210]

On 6 July 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi announced on the World

Economic Forum's website that she wanted to run for the
presidency in Myanmar's 2015 elections.[211] The current
Constitution, which came into effect in 2008, bars her from the
presidency because she is the widow and mother of foreigners—
provisions that appeared to be written specifically to prevent her
from being eligible.[212]

The NLD won a sweeping victory in those elections, winning at Aung San Suu Kyi meeting Barack
Obama at the White House in
least 255 seats in the House of Representatives and 135 seats in
September 2012
the House of Nationalities. In addition, Aung San Suu Kyi won re-
election to the House of Representatives. Under the 2008
constitution, the NLD needed to win at least a two-thirds majority
in both houses to ensure that its candidate would become
president. Before the elections, Aung San Suu Kyi announced that
even though she is constitutionally barred from the presidency, she
would hold the real power in any NLD-led government.[213] On
30 March 2016 she became Minister for the President's Office, for
Foreign Affairs, for Education and for Electric Power and Energy
in President Htin Kyaw's government; later she relinquished the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson
latter two ministries and President Htin Kyaw appointed her State meeting Aung San Suu Kyi in
Counsellor, a position akin to a Prime Minister created especially London, 12 September 2016
for her.[214][215][216][217] The position of State Counsellor was
approved by the House of Nationalities on 1 April 2016 and the House of Representatives on 5 April
2016. The next day, her role as State Counsellor was established.[218]

State counsellor and foreign minister (2016–2021)

As soon as she became foreign minister, she invited Chinese
Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Canadian Foreign Minister Stephane
Dion and Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni in April and
Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida in May and discussed
how to have good diplomatic relationships with these
countries.[219][220][221]

Initially, upon accepting the State Counsellor position, she granted

amnesty to the students who were arrested for opposing the
National Education Bill, and announced the creation of the
commission on Rakhine State, which had a long record of
persecution of the Muslim Rohingya minority. However, soon
Aung San Suu Kyi's government did not manage with the ethnic
conflicts in Shan and Kachin states, where thousands of refugees Indian Prime Minister Narendra
fled to China, and by 2017 the persecution of the Rohingya by the Modi meeting Aung San Suu Kyi in
New Delhi, 24 January 2018
government forces escalated to the point that it is not uncommonly
called a genocide. Aung San Suu Kyi, when interviewed, has
denied the allegations of ethnic cleansing.[222][223] She has also
refused to grant citizenship to the Rohingya, instead taking steps
to issue ID cards for residency but no guarantees of
citizenship.[224]

Her tenure as State Counsellor of Myanmar has drawn

international criticism for her failure to address her country's
economic and ethnic problems, particularly the plight of the Aung San Suu Kyi with Philippine
Rohingya following the 25 August 2017 ARSA attacks (described President Rodrigo Duterte and Thai
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha,
as "certainly one of the biggest refugee crises and cases of ethnic
25 January 2018
cleansing since the Second World War"), for the weakening of
freedom of the press and for her style of leadership, described as
imperious and "distracted and out of touch".[225][226]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Myanmar, Suu Kyi chaired a

National Central Committee responsible for coordinating the
country's pandemic response.[227]

In 2017, critics called for Aung San Suu Kyi's Nobel prize to be
revoked, citing her silence over the genocide of Rohingya people
in Myanmar.[228][229] Some activists criticised Aung San Suu Kyi for her silence on the 2012 Rakhine
State riots (later repeated during the 2015 Rohingya refugee crisis), and her indifference to the plight of
the Rohingya, Myanmar's persecuted Muslim minority.[230][231] In 2012, she told reporters she did not
know if the Rohingya could be regarded as Burmese citizens.[232] In a 2013 interview with the BBC's
Mishal Husain, Aung San Suu Kyi did not condemn violence against the Rohingya and denied that
Muslims in Myanmar have been subject to ethnic cleansing, insisting that the tensions were due to a
"climate of fear" caused by "a worldwide perception that global Muslim power is 'very great' ". She did
condemn "hate of any kind" in the interview.[233] According to Peter Popham, in the aftermath of the
interview, she expressed anger at being interviewed by a Muslim.[234] Husain had challenged Aung San
Suu Kyi that almost all of the impact of violence was against the Rohingya, in response to Aung San Suu
Kyi's claim that violence was happening on both sides, and Peter Popham described her position on the
issue as one of purposeful ambiguity for political gain.[235]

However, she said that she wanted to work towards reconciliation and she cannot take sides as violence
has been committed by both sides.[236] According to The Economist, her "halo has even slipped among
foreign human-rights lobbyists, disappointed at her failure to make a clear stand on behalf of the
Rohingya minority". However, she has spoken out "against a ban on Rohingya families near the
Bangladeshi border having more than two children".[237]

In a 2015 BBC News article, reporter Jonah Fisher suggested that Aung San Suu Kyi's silence over the
Rohingya issue is due to a need to obtain support from the majority Bamar ethnicity as she is in "the
middle of a general election campaign".[238] In May 2015, the Dalai Lama publicly called upon her to do
more to help the Rohingya in Myanmar, claiming that he had previously urged her to address the plight of
the Rohingya in private during two separate meetings and that she had resisted his urging.[239] In May
2016, Aung San Suu Kyi asked the newly appointed United States Ambassador to Myanmar, Scot
Marciel, not to refer to the Rohingya by that name as they "are not recognized as among the 135 official
ethnic groups" in Myanmar.[240] This followed Bamar protests at Marciel's use of the word
"Rohingya".[241]

In 2016, Aung San Suu Kyi was accused of failing to protect Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims during the
Rohingya genocide.[242] State crime experts from Queen Mary University of London warned that Aung
San Suu Kyi is "legitimising genocide" in Myanmar.[243] Despite continued persecution of the Rohingya
well into 2017, Aung San Suu Kyi was "not even admitting, let alone trying to stop, the army's well-
documented campaign of rape, murder and destruction against Rohingya villages".[244] On 4 September
2017, Yanghee Lee, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, criticised Aung San Suu
Kyi's response to the "really grave" situation in Rakhine, saying: "The de facto leader needs to step in—
that is what we would expect from any government, to protect everybody within their own
jurisdiction."[245] The BBC reported that "Her comments came as the number of Rohingya fleeing to
Bangladesh reached 87,000, according to UN estimates", adding that "her sentiments were echoed by
Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai, who said she was waiting to hear from Ms Suu Kyi—who has
not commented on the crisis since it erupted".[245] The next day George Monbiot, writing in The
Guardian, called on readers to sign a change.org petition to have the Nobel peace prize revoked,
criticising her silence on the matter and asserting "whether out of prejudice or out of fear, she denies to
others the freedoms she rightly claimed for herself. Her regime excludes—and in some cases seeks to
silence—the very activists who helped to ensure her own rights were recognised."[246] The Nobel
Foundation replied that there existed no provision for revoking a Nobel Prize.[247] Archbishop Desmond
Tutu, a fellow peace prize holder, also criticised Aung San Suu Kyi's silence: in an open letter published
on social media, he said: "If the political price of your ascension to the highest office in Myanmar is your
silence, the price is surely too steep ... It is incongruous for a symbol of righteousness to lead such a
country."[248] On 13 September it was revealed that Aung San Suu Kyi would not be attending a UN
General Assembly debate being held the following week to discuss the humanitarian crisis, with a
Myanmar's government spokesman stating "perhaps she has more pressing matters to deal with".[249]

In October 2017, Oxford City Council announced that, following a unanimous cross-party vote,[250] the
honour of Freedom of the City, granted in 1997 in recognition of her "long struggle for democracy", was
to be withdrawn following evidence emerging from the United Nations which meant that she was "no
longer worthy of the honour".[251] A few days later, Munsur Ali, a councillor for City of London
Corporation, tabled a motion to rescind the Freedom of the City of London: the motion was supported by
Catherine McGuinness, chair of the corporation's policy and resources committee, who expressed
"distress ... at the situation in Burma and the atrocities committed by the Burmese military".[250] On 13
November 2017, Bob Geldof returned his Freedom of the City of Dublin award in protest over Aung San
Suu Kyi also holding the accolade, stating that he does not "wish to be associated in any way with an
individual currently engaged in the mass ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya people of north-west Burma".
Calling Aung San Suu Kyi a "handmaiden to genocide",[252] Geldof added that he would take pride in his
award being restored if it is first stripped from her.[253] The Dublin City Council voted 59–2 (with one
abstention) to revoke Aung San Suu Kyi's Freedom of the City award over Myanmar's treatment of the
Rohingya people in December 2017, though Lord Mayor of Dublin Mícheál Mac Donncha denied the
decision was influenced by protests by Geldof and members of U2.[254][255] At the same meeting, the
Councillors voted 37–7 (with 5 abstentions) to remove Geldof's name from the Roll of Honorary
Freemen.[254][256]

In March 2018, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum revoked Aung San Suu Kyi's Elie Wiesel
Award, awarded in 2012, citing her failure "to condemn and stop the military's brutal campaign" against
Rohingya Muslims.[257][258][259]

In May 2018, Aung San Suu Kyi was considered complicit in the crimes against Rohingyas in a report by
Britain's International Development Committee.[260]

In August 2018, it was revealed that Aung San Suu Kyi would be
stripped of her Freedom of Edinburgh award over her refusal to
speak out against the crimes committed against the Rohingya. She
had received the award in 2005 for promoting peace and
democracy in Burma.[261] This will be only the second time that
anyone has ever been stripped of the award,[262][263] after Charles
Stewart Parnell lost it in 1890 due to a salacious affair.[263] Also in
August, a UN report, while describing the violence as genocide,
added that Aung San Suu Kyi did as little as possible to prevent
Aung San Suu Kyi with Indonesian
it.[264]
President Joko Widodo, 22 June
2019
In early October 2018, both the Canadian Senate and its House of
Commons voted unanimously to strip Aung San Suu Kyi of her
honorary citizenship. This decision was caused by the Government of Canada's determination that the
treatment of the Rohingya by Myanmar's government amounts to genocide.[265]

On 11 November 2018, Amnesty International announced it was revoking her Ambassador of Conscience
award.[266] In December 2019, Aung San Suu Kyi appeared in the International Court of Justice at The
Hague where she defended the Burmese military against allegations of genocide against the Rohingya.[16]
In a speech of over 3,000 words, Aung San Suu Kyi did not use the term "Rohingya" in describing the
ethnic group.[267] She stated that the allegations of genocide were "incomplete and misleading",[16]
claiming that the situation was actually a Burmese military response to attacks by the Arakan Rohingya
Salvation Army (ARSA).[267] She also questioned how there could be "genocidal intent" when the
Burmese government had opened investigations and also encouraged Rohingya to return after being
displaced.[268][269] However, experts have largely criticized the Burmese investigations as insincere, with
the military declaring itself innocent and the government preventing a visit from investigators from the
United Nations.[269] Many Rohingya have also not returned due to perceiving danger and a lack of rights
in Myanmar.[268]

In January 2020, the International Court of Justice decided that there was a "real and imminent risk of
irreparable prejudice to the rights" of the Rohingya. The court also took the view that the Burmese
government's efforts to remedy the situation "do not appear sufficient" to protect the Rohingya.
Therefore, the court ordered the Burmese government to take "all measures within its power" to protect
the Rohingya from genocidal actions. The court also instructed the Burmese government to preserve
evidence and report back to the court at timely intervals about the situation.[270][271]

Arrests and prosecution of journalists

In December 2017, two Reuters journalists, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, were arrested while
investigating the Inn Din massacre of Rohingyas.[272][273] Suu Kyi publicly commented in June 2018 that
the journalists "weren't arrested for covering the Rakhine issue", but because they had broken Myanmar's
Official Secrets Act.[273][274] As the journalists were then on trial for violating the Official Secrets Act,
Aung San Suu Kyi's presumption of their guilt was criticized by rights groups for potentially influencing
the verdict.[273][275] American diplomat Bill Richardson said that he had privately discussed the arrest
with Suu Kyi, and that Aung San Suu Kyi reacted angrily and labelled the journalists "traitors".[276] A
police officer testified that he was ordered by superiors to use entrapment to frame and arrest the
journalists; he was later jailed and his family evicted from their home in the police camp.[277] The judge
found the journalists guilty in September 2018 and to be jailed for seven years.[273] Aung San Suu Kyi
reacted to widespread international criticism of the verdict by stating: "I don't think anyone has bothered
to read" the judgement as it had "nothing to do with freedom of expression at all", but the Official Secrets
Act. She also challenged critics to "point out where there has been a miscarriage of justice", and told the
two Reuters journalists that they could appeal their case to a higher court.[278]

In September 2018, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights issued a
report that since Aung San Suu Kyi's party, the NLD, came to power, the arrests and criminal
prosecutions of journalists in Myanmar by the government and military, under laws which are too vague
and broad, have "made it impossible for journalists to do their job without fear or favour."[15]

2021 arrest and trial

On 1 February 2021, Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested and deposed by the Myanmar's military, along with
other leaders of her National League for Democracy (NLD) party, after Myanmar's military declared the
November 2020 general election results fraudulent.[279][280] A 1 February court order authorized her
detainment for 15 days, stating that soldiers searching her Naypyidaw villa had uncovered imported
communications equipment lacking proper paperwork. Aung San Suu Kyi was transferred to house arrest
on the same evening, and on 3 February was formally charged with illegally importing ten or more
walkie-talkies. She faces up to three years in prison for the
charges. According to The New York Times, the charge "echoed
previous accusations of esoteric legal crimes (and) arcane
offenses" used by the military against critics and rivals.[281] As of
9 February, Aung San Suu Kyi continues to be held
incommunicado, without access to international observers or legal
representation of her choice.[282]
Protesters hold posters with the
image of Aung San Suu Kyi during a
US President Joe Biden raised the threat of new sanctions as a demonstration against the military
result of the Myanmar's military coup.[283] In a statement, the UN coup
Secretary-General António Guterres believes "These
developments represent a serious blow to democratic reforms in
Myanmar." Volkan Bozkır, President of the UN General Assembly,
also voiced his concerns, having tweeted "Attempts to undermine
democracy and rule of law are unacceptable", and called for the
"immediate release" of the detained NLD party leaders.[284]

On 1 April 2021, Aung San Suu Kyi was charged with the fifth
offence in relation to violating the official secrets act. According Protesting teachers holding portraits
to her lawyer, it is the most serious charge brought against her of Aung San Suu Kyi
after the coup and could carry a sentence of up to 14 years in
prison if convicted.[285] On 12 April 2021, Aung San Suu Kyi was
hit with another charge, this time "under section 25 of the natural disaster management law". According
to her lawyer, it is her sixth indictment. She appeared in court via video link and now faces five charges
in the capital Naypyidaw and one in Yangon.[286]

On 28 April 2021, the National Unity Government (NUG), in which Aung San Suu Kyi symbolically
retained her position, anticipated that there would be no talks with the junta until all political prisoners,
including her, are set free. This move by her supporters come after an ASEAN-supported consensus with
the junta leadership in the past days.[287] However, on 8 May 2021, the junta designated NUG as a
terrorist organization and warned citizens not to cooperate, nor to give aid to the parallel government,
stripping Aung San Suu Kyi of her symbolic position.[288][289][290] On 10 May 2021, her lawyer said she
would appear in court in person for the first time since her arrest after the Supreme Court ruled that she
could attend in person and meet her lawyers. She had been previously only allowed to do so remotely
from her home.[291] On 21 May 2021, a military junta commission was formed to dissolve Aung San Suu
Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) on grounds of election fraud in the November 2020
election.[292] On 22 May 2021, during his first interview since the coup, junta leader Min Aung Hlaing
reported that she was in good health at her home and that she would appear in court in a matter of
days.[293] On 23 May 2021, the European Union expressed support for Aung San Suu Kyi's party and
condemned the commission aimed at dissolving the party, echoing the NLD's statement released earlier in
the week.[294]

On 24 May 2021, Aung San Suu Kyi appeared in person in court for the first time since the coup to face
the "incitement to sedition" charge against her.[295] During the 30-minute hearing, she said that she was
not fully aware of what was going on outside as she had no access to full information from the outside
and refused to respond on the matters. She was also quoted on the possibility of her party's forced
dissolution as "Our party grew out of the people so it will exist as long as people support it."[296] In her
meeting with her lawyers, Aung San Suu Kyi also wished people "good health".[296]

On 2 June 2021, it was reported that the military had moved her (as well as Win Myint) from their homes
to an unknown location.[297]

On 10 June 2021, Aung San Suu Kyi was charged with corruption, the most serious charge brought
against her, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years' imprisonment. Aung San Suu Kyi's lawyers
say the charges are made to keep her out of the public eye.[298]

On 14 June 2021, the trial against Aung San Suu Kyi began. Any conviction would prevent her from
running for office again.[299] Aung San Suu Kyi's lawyers attempted to have prosecution testimony
against her on the sedition charge disqualified but the motion was denied by the judge.[300]

On 13 September 2021, court proceedings were to resume against her, but it was postponed due to Aung
San Suu Kyi presenting "minor health issues" that impeded her from attending the court in person.[301]

On 4 October 2021, Aung San Suu Kyi asked the judge to reduce her times of court appearances because
of her fragile health. Aung San Suu Kyi described her health as "strained".[302]

In November, the Myanmar courts deferred the first verdicts in the trial without further explanation or
giving dates.[303] In the same month, she was again charged with corruption, related to the purchase and
rental of a helicopter, bringing the total of charges to nearly a dozen.[304]

On 6 December 2021, Suu Kyi was sentenced to 4 years in jail.[305][306] Suu Kyi, who is still facing
multiple charges and further sentences, was sentenced on the charge of inciting dissent and violating
COVID-19 protocols. Following a partial pardon by the chief of the military government, Aung San Suu
Kyi's four-year sentence was reduced to two years' imprisonment.[307]

On 10 January 2022, the military court in Myanmar sentenced Suu Kyi to an additional four years in
prison on a number of charges including "importing and owning walkie-talkies" and "breaking
coronavirus rules". The trials, which are closed to the public, the media, and any observers, were
described as a "courtroom circus of secret proceedings on bogus charges" by the deputy director for Asia
of Human Rights Watch.[17]

On 27 April 2022, Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced to five years in jail on corruption charges.[308][309]

On 22 June 2022, junta authorities ordered that all further legal proceedings against Suu Kyi will take
place in prison venues, instead of a courtroom. No explanation of the decision was given.[310] Citing
unidentified sources, the BBC reported that Suu Kyi was also moved on 22 June from house arrest, where
she had had close companions, to solitary confinement in a specially-built area inside a prison in
Naypyidaw. This is the same prison in which Win Myint had similarly been placed in solitary
confinement. The military confirmed that Suu Kyi had been moved to prison.[311]

On 15 August 2022, sources following Aung San Suu Kyi's court proceedings said that she was sentenced
to an additional six years' imprisonment after being found guilty on four corruption charges, bringing her
overall sentences to 17 years in prison.[312] In September 2022, she was convicted of election fraud and
breaching the state's secrets act and sentenced to a total of six years in prison for both convictions,
increasing her overall sentence to 23 years in prison.[313][314] By 12 October 2022, she had been
sentenced to 26 years imprisonment on ten charges in total, including five corruption charges.[315] On 30
December 2022, her trials ended with another conviction and an additional sentence of seven years'
imprisonment for corruption. Aung San Suu Kyi's final sentence is of 33 years in prison.[19]

On 12 July 2023, Thailand's foreign minister Don Pramudwinai said at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers'
Meeting in Jakarta that he met with Aung San Suu Kyi during his visit to Myanmar.[316] On 1 August
2023, the military junta granted Suu Kyi a partial pardon, reducing her sentence to a total of 27 years in
prison.[20][317] Prior to the pardon, she was moved from prison to a VIP government residence, according
to an official from NLD party.[318]

However, it was reported that since the beginning of September 2023, she is back in prison. The exact
time when she was sent back to prison is unknown.[319] Since January, Aung San Suu Kyi and her
lawyers are trying to get six corruption charges overturned. To this date, the requests are repeatedly
denied.[320]

On 16 April 2024, the military announced that Aung San Suu Kyi had been transferred to house arrest due
to a heat wave.[321] However, pro-democracy publications such as The Irrawaddy claimed that she
remains in prison, with air conditioners being added to her cell.[322]

Political beliefs
Asked what democratic models Myanmar could look to, she said: "We have

Fear[323]
In a nod to the deep US political divide between Republicans led by Mitt
Romney and the Democrats by Barack Obama—then battling to win the 2012 presidential election—she
stressed, "Those of you who are familiar with American politics I'm sure understand the need for
negotiated compromise."[324]

Related organisations
Freedom Now, a US-based non-profit organisation, was retained in 2006 by a member of
her family to help secure Aung San Suu Kyi's release from house arrest. The organisation
secured several opinions from the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention that her
detention was in violation of international law; engaged in political advocacy such as
spearheading a letter from 112 former Presidents and Prime Ministers to UN Secretary-
General Ban Ki-moon urging him to go to Burma to seek
her release, which he did six weeks later; and published
numerous op-eds and spoke widely to the media about
her ongoing detention. Its representation of her ended
when she was released from house arrest on 13
November 2010.[325]

leaders brought together by Nelson Mandela.[338] Her ongoing detention meant that she
was unable to take an active role in the group, so The Elders placed an empty chair for her
at their meetings.[339] The Elders have consistently called for the release of all political
prisoners in Burma.[340] Upon her election to parliament, she stepped down from her
post.[341]

Hospital during her house arrest.[367] She also underwent minor foot surgery in December 2013 and eye
surgery in April 2016.[368] In June 2012, her doctor Tin Myo Win said that she had no serious health
problems, but weighed only 48 kilograms (106 lb), had low blood pressure, and could become weak
easily.[369]

After being arrested and detained on 1 February 2021, there were concerns that Aung San Suu Kyi's
health was deteriorating.[370][371] However, according to military's spokesperson Zaw Min Tun, special
attention is given to her health and living condition.[372] Don Pramudwinai also said that "she was in
good health, both physically and mentally".[373]

Although a junta spokesperson claimed that she is in good health, since being sent back to prison in
September 2023, it is reported that her health condition is worsening and she is "suffering of toothache
and unable to eat". Her request to see a dentist had been denied. Her son is urging the junta to allow Aung
San Suu Kyi to receive medical assistance.[374][375]
