Pro-Democratic activist Daw Aung San has been freed after almost 20 years of detention. A beacon for democratic activists in and outside of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, her party, The National League for Democracy, won victory in 1990 but was denied power by the military-ruling government.
Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace prize in 1991 for her nonviolent campaigns for the end of the militarist government.
