A leader of the nonviolent movement for human rights and the restoration of democracy in Myanmar who received the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 was born on 19th June 1945 in Yangon. She educated in India and England, where she attended the University of Oxford. She received an honorary doctor of laws degree from the American University in Washington, D.C., in 1997. Her father, U Aung San, is widely acknowledged as the founder of modern Myanmar for negotiating Myanmar's independence from British rule in 1947. Her mother, Daw Khin Kyi, was a prominent public figure who became Myanmar's ambassador to India in 1960. In July 1989 Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest by the military government for staging and speaking at mass gatherings, which were illegal in Myanmar. Suu Kyi's writings, collected in Freedom from Fear and Other Writings (1991), reflect on the life of her father, who was assassinated in 1947, and on the suppression of democracy in Myanmar during subsequent decades.
