Yeah Aung San suu kyi is a democracy activist in burma. She has been fighting activily for restoration of democracy in burma for more than 20 years. She is currently under house arrest.
But since Myanmar is a memeber of Asean therefore the ruling junta military force is under great pressure from member nations for democracy.

Contrary to the above response, she is NOT the leader of Burma, but a political prisoner who risks her life on a daily basis to remind the world that her country is an authoritarian state ruled by an illegal military junta.
Aung is a heroic woman who has endured years of punishments and confinements in her struggle to win freedom for her people from the brutal dictatorship in Burma.
The rest of the world should be learning a lesson in courage and humility from her.

The country is ruled by military hunta.
