A celebration in recognition and support of Aung San Suu Kyi: iconic first lady of Burma , described as “a stunning beacon of non-violent struggles for democracy and human rights.”
Aung San Suu Kyi, a graduate of St Hugh’s College Oxford 1969, was elected as the Leader of the National League for Democracy in her home country Burma in1988, and has since 1989 spent fourteen years under house arrest. In 1991 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her non-violent struggle.
The evening combines Burmese culture with politics; providing an insight into the forces that have inspired Aung San Suu Kyi’s passionate commitment to the peaceful pathway to freedom and democracy in her country.
We desperately need your help.
Burma Campaign UK is making a difference, but without support from members of the public our work would end.
