Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi was born on 19 June 1945. Her father, Aung San, was a general in the Burmese army and negotiated Burma's independence from the United Kingdom in 1947; he was assassinated by his rivals in the same year. She grew up with her mother, Khin Kyi, and two brothers, Aung San Lin and Aung San Oo in Yangon. Her favourite brother Aung San Lin drowned in a pool accident when Suu Kyi was eight.[6] Her elder brother migrated to San Diego, California, becoming a United States citizen.[6] Suu Kyi was educated in English Catholic schools for much of her childhood in Burma.

Khin Kyi (Ma Khin Kyi) gained prominence as a political figure in the newly-formed Burmese government. Khin Kyi was appointed as Burmese ambassador to India in 1960, and Aung San Suu Kyi followed her there, graduating from Lady Shri Ram College in New Delhi in 1964.[8]

She continued her education at St Hugh's College, Oxford, obtaining a B.A. degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics in 1969 and a Ph.D. at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London in 1985. She also worked for the government of the Union of Myanmar. In 1972, Aung San Suu Kyi married Dr. Michael Aris, a scholar of Tibetan culture, living abroad in Bhutan. The following year she gave birth to her first son, Alexander, in London; and in 1977 she had her second son, Kim.

She is a Theravada Buddhist.

In May 2, 2008, after Cyclone Nargis hit Burma, Suu Kyi lost her roof and was living in virtual darkness after she lost electricity in her dilapidated lakeside bungalow. She used candles at night because she did not have a generator.[9]

Political beginnings
Aung San Suu Kyi returned to Burma in 1988 to take care of her ailing mother. By coincidence, in that year, the long-time leader of the socialist ruling party, General Ne Win, stepped down, leading to mass demonstrations for democratization on August 8, 1988 (8-8-88, a day seen as auspicious), which were violently suppressed. A new military junta took power.

Influenced by both Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence[10][11] and by more specifically Buddhist concepts,[12] Aung San Suu Kyi entered politics to work for democratisation, helped found the National League for Democracy on 27 September 1988, and was put under house arrest on 20 July 1989. She was offered freedom if she left the country, but she refused.

One of her most famous speeches is the "Freedom From Fear" speech, which begins:

“ It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.






La vita di Aung San Suu Kyi è stata travagliata già dai primi anni di vita. Suo padre, uno dei principali esponenti politici birmani, dopo aver negoziato l'indipendenza della nazione dal Regno Unito nel 1947, fu infatti ucciso da alcuni avversari politici nello stesso anno, lasciando la bambina di appena due anni, oltre che la moglie, Khin Kyi, e altri due figli, uno dei quali sarebbe morto in un incidente.

Dopo la morte del marito, Khin Kyi, la madre di Aung San Suu Kyi divenne una delle figure politiche di maggior rilievo in Birmania, tanto da diventare ambasciatrice in India nel 1960. Aung San Suu Kyi fu sempre presente al fianco della madre, la seguì ovunque, ed ebbe la possibilità di frequentare le migliori scuole indiane e successivamente inglesi, tanto che nel 1967, ad Oxford, conseguì alcune lauree rispettivamente in Filosofia, Scienze Politiche ed Economia. Continuò poi i suoi studi a New York e nel 1972 cominciò a lavorare per le Nazioni Unite, e in quel periodo conobbe anche uno studioso di cultura tibetana, Micheal Aris, che l'anno successivo sarebbe diventato suo marito, e padre dei suoi due figli, Alexander e Kim.

Ritornò in Birmania nel 1988, per accudire la madre gravemente malata, e proprio in quegli anni il generale Saw Maung prese il potere e instaurò il regime militare che tutt'ora comanda in Myanmar. Fortemente influenzata dagli insegnamenti del Mahatma Gandhi, Aung San Suu Kyi sposò la causa del suo paese in maniera non-violenta e fondò la Lega Nazionale per la Democrazia, il 27 settembre 1988. Neanche un anno dopo le furono comminati gli arresti domiciliari, con la concessione che se avesse voluto abbandonare il paese, lo avrebbe potuto fare; Aung San Suu Kyi rifiutò la proposta del regime.

Nel 1990 il regime militare decise di chiamare il popolo alle elezioni, e il risultato fu una schiacciante vittoria della Lega Nazionale per la Democrazia di Aung San Suu Kyi, che sarebbe quindi diventata Primo Ministro, tuttavia i militari rigettarono il voto, e presero il potere con la forza, annullando il voto popolare. L'anno successivo Aung San Suu Kyi vinse il premio Nobel per la Pace, ed usò i soldi del premio per costituire un sistema sanitario e di istruzione, a favore del popolo birmano.

Gli arresti domiciliari le furono revocati nel 1995, ma rimaneva comunque in uno stato di semi libertà, non poté mai lasciare il paese, perché in tal caso le sarebbe stato negato il ritorno in Myanmar, e anche ai suoi familiari non fu mai permesso di visitarla, neanche quando al marito Michael fu diagnosticato un tumore, che di lì a due anni, nel 1999, lo avrebbe ucciso, lasciandola vedova.

Nel 2002, a seguito di forti pressioni delle Nazioni Unite, ad Aung San Suu Kyi fu riconosciuta un maggiore libertà d'azione in Myanmar, ma il 30 maggio 2003, il dramma: mentre era a bordo di un convoglio con numerosi supporters, un gruppo di militari aprì il fuoco è massacrò molte persone, e solo grazie alla prontezza di riflessi del suo autista, Ko Kyaw Soe Lin, riuscì a salvarsi, ma fu di nuovo messa agli arresti domiciliari. Da quel momento, la salute di Aung San Suu Kyi è andata progressivamente peggiorando, tanto da richiedere un intervento e vari ricoveri.

Il "caso" Aung San Suu Kyi ha incominciato ad essere un argomento internazionale, tanto che gli Stati Uniti d'America e l'Unione Europea hanno fatto grosse pressioni sul governo del Myanmar per la sua liberazione, ma gli arresti domiciliari furono rinnovati per un anno nel 2005 e ulteriormente rinnovati nel 2006 e nel 2007. Tutt'ora Aung San Suu Kyi è agli arresti domiciliari.

In tutto il mondo Aung San Suu Kyi è diventata un'icona della non-violenza e pace, tanto che numerosi cantanti e gruppi musicali, tra cui Damien Rice, gli U2, i R.E.M. e i Coldplay le hanno dedicato brani musicali per sostenere la sua causa; nel 2003 le fu assegnato l'European Mtv Music Award, e alcune prestigiose Università in Europa e in America vogliono assegnarle delle lauree Honoris Causa, per il suo grande impegno civile, e per la difesa dei diritti umani e della pace.

Il 9 novembre 2007, Aung San Suu Kyi ha lasciato la sua abitazione dove era confinata agli arresti domiciliari e ha incontrato il ministro nominato ad hoc dalla giunta militare al potere per il dialogo con l'opposizione, il ministro dei trasporti Aung Kyi. Un dirigente della Lega nazionale per la democrazia ha detto che Suu Kyi ha anche incontrato tre esponenti del suo partito, che non incontrava da tre anni.

Per il suo impegno a favore dei diritti umani il 6 maggio 2008 il Congresso degli Stati Uniti le ha conferito la sua massima onorificenza: la Medaglia d'Onore.

Just close your eyes for one moment and think what we could achieve in this world if all the resources gobbled by war were instead to be put to peaceful ends...the ending of world poverty, the feeding of the nations, the cure for diseases, clearing away the minefields and cluster debris....

Did you see it? This brave new world that could be...it starts with one person...it starts with you...it starts now.

What do you think about?

Many people feel that killing convicted murderers will satisfy their need for justice and/or vengeance. They feel that certain crimes are so heinous that executing the criminal is the only reasonable response.
I think that permitting premeditated murder is totally unacceptable, even if committed by the state.
Capital punishment lowers the value of human life as seen by the general population and brutalizes society. It is based on a need for revenge.
