She is the daughter of Daw Khin Kyi, Burma's only woman ambassador (to India and Nepal), and late national leader General Aung San, the architect of Burma's independence, who was assassinated in Rangoon on July 19, 1947, along with six members of his pre-independence cabinet.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was educated in Rangoon until the age of 15 and continued her studies at Delhi University when she accompanied her Ambassador mother to New Delhi.

In asserting control, the military gunned down hundreds of demonstrators and formed the State Law and Order Restoration Council.

July 1989: The military placed Daw Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest. Amnesty International declared Daw Aung San Suu Kyi a prisoner of conscience. (Under pressure from the junta and as a move to prevent the junta from using legal loopholes to ban the party, the NLD announced Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was no longer the general secretary of the party)
May 1990: Despite her continuing detention, and the arrest of other NLD leaders, the party won the election by a landslide, securing 82 percent of the seats, but the military junta refused to honor the election results.

February 14, 1994: For the first time, people from outside Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's family were allowed to meet her. UN Resident Representative Jehan Raheem, US Congressman Bill Richardson and New York Times reporter Philip Shenon visited Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

March 27, 1999: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's husband Michael Aris died of prostrate cancer in London. His last request to visit Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, whom he had last seen in 1995, was rejected by the military junta which said if Daw Aung San Suu Kyi wanted to leave the country she could do so. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi refused the offer or to leave her Rangoon home.
1996--2000: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi defied travel bans imposed against her and continually tried to leave for places outside Rangoon. In March 1996, she boarded the train bound for Mandalay but citing a "last minute problem" the coach she was in was left behind at the station. In July 1998 and August 1998, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi tried to meet NLD members outside Rangoon but police stopped her car on the road to Bassein. On both occasions, she was forced to spend days on the road. After several days they usually seize her car, force her to return home, and drive her car back.
In August 2000, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was once again prevented from visiting NLD youth members in Dala. On 2 September, around 200 riot police surrounded Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's motorcade near Dala and forced them to return to Rangoon after a nine-day standoff.

They have not been permitted to board a train, and they are still in the waiting room with the station itself surrounded by a heavy security presence, preventing visitors from entering the building. A number of opposition supporters have been taken away from the station in military vehicles. Earlier, the authorities blocked the road leading to her house,. The move is the latest challenge to restrictions on opposition movements imposed by the military authorities.
September 23, 2000: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and other party leaders have reportedly been confined to their homes on temporary detention.

January 15, 2001: The military authorities have reportedly ordered a halt to attacks on the opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, in the state-run media. For the first time in years, the Burmese newspapers carried none of the usual poisonous, sarcastic cartoons and commentaries condemning the 53-year-old Nobel peace laureate and her party, the National League for Democracy.
January 22, 2001: The Court in Myanmar has dismissed a suit by the estranged brother of opposition leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi over ownership rights to her home, in another sign the military is easing its crackdown on the pro-democracy figurehead.
January 24, 2001: Twenty activists from the pro-democracy league were released from jail. Vice Chairman U Tin Oo was also released from detention and sent back to his home last night after being held in a military camp for four months. But the visitors are not allowed yet. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, however, remains confined to her residence, with access to her tightly controlled. But, European Union mission is scheduled to visit Myanmar from 01/28/2001 to 01/30/2001.
January 30, 2001: An European Union delegation met with Myanmar pro-democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, only her second reported diplomatic contact during more than four months of house detention. EU spent more than two hours with Suu Kyi at her residence in Yangon, where she has been confined by the military regime since Sept. 22. The EU delegation's four-day visit, is aimed at breaking the decade-long deadlock between the regime and the political opposition led by Suu Kyi. It is the first such EU mission to Myanmar since July 1999.
February 27, 2001: US officials met Myanmar opposition leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the ruling military in the first visit by American diplomats since President George W. Bush took office last month.
April 05, 2001: The first U.N. human rights inspector, Paulo Sergio Pinheiro to visit Myanmar in five years met with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
April 06, 2001: The estranged brother of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is reported to have renewed his attempt to lay legal claim to her home. U Aung San Oo, who lives in the United States, had a previous petition to secure a half share in the family property dismissed by a Burmese court in January.
April 12, 2001: A funeral was held Saturday in Yangon for Khin Gyi, elder sister of Myanmar democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's mother Khin Kyi, who died at aged 93. Friends and relatives attended the funeral at the Yayway cemetery, but Suu Kyi was not seen. Khin Gyi's husband Thakin Than Tun, a communist leader, went underground in March 1948 and rose up in arms against the government three months after Myanmar gained independence from Britain. He died in the jungle in September 1968, assassinated by an aide.
April 28, 2001: More than 30 United States senators have warned President George W. Bush not to ease sanctions against Rangoon lest he send the wrong signal to the military regime as it continues closed-door talks with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. The senators said in a letter to the President that any lifting of sanctions on investments could "remove the incentive for the regime to negotiate" with Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi. There was surprise this week when it appeared Japan had decided to reward the military regime merely for talking to the opposition leader by supplying aid to repair a Japanese-built hydro-power dam.
May 27, 2001: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other leaders of Burma's democratic movement were absent from a celebration marking the 11th anniversary of election victory, which was voided by the military government.
June 11, 2001: The brother of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday changed his demand in a legal case against his sister to ask only for an "appropriate share'' of the house she occupies in Yangon. U Aung San Oo, an estranged elder brother living in the United States and holding a U.S. passport, had previously asked in early April for half the property and the right to administer it. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's lawyers originally argued that U Aung San Oo had no right to apply for his sister to be evicted because, as a foreigner living in the United States, he has no right to own property in Myanmar. If he wins the case, U Aung San Oo is expected to turn his share of the house over to the government, a result which would put Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in an extremely precarious position.
July 02 2001: Regime Monday released the cousin of democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi from jail, sources said, in the latest sign of progress in talks between the opposition and the junta. Aye Win, a close aide to the Nobel peace laureate, was allowed to leave Yangon's notorious Insein prison Monday after completing a five-year sentence.
August 26, 2001: Burma's ruling military government released two prominent leaders from the National League for Democracy (NLD) yesterday evening just hours before Razali Ismail, UN special-envoy for Burma, arrived in Rangoon. U Aung Shwe and U Tin Oo, chairman and vice-chairman of the NLD, were released after spending over eleven months under house arrest that began last September. Although they have been released from house arrest, they are not able to leave Rangoon. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, U Aung Shwe, U Tin Oo and six other central committee members of the NLD were put under de facto house arrest after Suu Kyi defied a travel ban by trying to go to Mandalay, Myanmar's second largest city, last Sept. 22, 2000. The six other committee members were released Dec. 1. Suu Kyi remains confined to her lakeside home.
August 28, 2001: UN envoy to Myanmar Razali Ismail met with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at her residence as part of a mission to promote her historic dialogue with the junta.

September 09, 2001: The Norwegian Postal Services are contributing to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Nobel Peace Prize by producing a new series of stamps featuring the portraits of Alfred Nobel and seven peace prize recipients.

In addition to Alfred Nobel, the seven peace laureates are: Henry Dunant (first prize winner, 1901), Fridtjof Nansen (1922), Martin Luther King jr. (1964), Mikhail Gorbatchev (1980), Aung San Suu Kyi (1991), Rigoberta Menchú Tum (1992) and Nelson Mandela (1993).

January 30, 2002: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has secretly met one of Burma's senior leaders. It appears to be the first meeting with a senior general for some time (and is being seen as a sign that the dialogue process may be on the verge of a significant break-through).
January 31, 2002: UN sources say UN secretary-general's special envoy Mr Razali Ismail's visit to Burma has been postponed to March. Although he was scheduled to arrive on 3 February, sources close to the junta said that the government has cancelled his visit.

February 18, 2002: U.N. human rights investigator Paulo Sergio Pinheiro met opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday after lengthy interviews with political prisoners in Yangon's main prison.

February 25, 2002: Burma's Supreme Court heard an appeal from Aung San Suu Kyi's lawyers on Wednesday concerning the drawn-out lawsuit filed by her estranged brother regarding ownership of her home, according to her lawyers.
March 19, 2002: The government of Burma has asked a special U.N. representative Mr. Razali Ismail who has been brokering reconciliation talks with the pro-democracy opposition to postpone a visit on the eve of his arrival in Rangoon. Government said officials were busy because of a reported coup attempt this month.
The Burmese government nearly two weeks ago announced a plot to overthrow the government had been uncovered. Security forces surrounded the residences of former military leader Ne Win and his daughter Sandar Win, placing them under virtual house arrest. They also arrested Ms. Sandar Win's husband and three sons and accused them of fomenting the plot. The chiefs of the air force and police and two regional commanders have also been dismissed and authorities say they are questioning about 100 people.
April 24, 2002: A top U.N. envoy Mr. Razali Ismail arrived in Myanmar on Tuesday to try to spur talks between the military junta and opposition which diplomats say may be the last chance for the generals to show they are serious about political change.
April 25, 2002: U.N. envoy Razali Ismail has met with senior Burmese opposition figures on the third day of his mediation mission in the East Asian country. Mr. Razali met leaders of the National League for Democracy Thursday in Rangoon. He met with National League for Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Later Thursday Mr. Razali is scheduled to have talks with Senior General Than Shwe, the leader of Burma's ruling junta, as he continues efforts to revive stalled democratization efforts. The democratization talks that began in October, 2000, have led to the release of more than 200 political prisoners, but yielded few other results.

The statement did not mention Suu Kyi by name, but said: "We shall recommit ourselves to allowing all of our citizens to participate freely in the life of our political process, while giving priority to national unity, peace and stability of the country as well as the region."
May 30, 2003: During a tour of northern Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi and her supporters are attacked by the regime's militia in the town of Depayin.
