For those who commenting about her concerning the case of rohingya muslims, I just wanted to say that She never said it's not her concern when the subject was mentioned to her. She just simply avoided answering regarding this case because she did not want to give empty promises until she has the power to keep them. Now that today, the party she leads has won in the elections in Burma, she will finally have the opportunity to create changes in the country and by the term "changes", we are talking about A LOT of them. Not only the case of the rohingyas but a lot are to be fixed in this country so it will take time. It doesn't take anyone just a day to entirely help a country develop. The lady sacrificed a lot for the many her whole life, just one problem she can't take care of and people start bashing on her. Give her the chance that she finally deserves now, give her time. And things will definitely be better. Democracy will be served to everyone, despite the religion they believe in.

what did he say here 0:23 He's (...) as athe founding father of indipendent of Burma

[Catherine-rdbr]

What he say in the minute 0:01? Aung San Suu Kyi is (...) one of the most loved people...
What he say in the minute 0:59? And (...) her party won...

(SORRY, I DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH)

What a misleading start to the video on life of a great leader CNN...the love of her people is not 'mainly' due to her father, even though it might have its origin there.... it's her courage to stand up against the military, that made her such a beloved leader. Credit where it's due!

[alkasoli]

This lady is an inspiration... it's horrible that she is in jail even now

[LoganZombieOfTime]

I just studied her in school a month ago

[seanmcaleavy]

I don't see any mention in the comments about charges of genocide committed against the Rohingya.

[jimmyjon]

Ang San Suu Kyi should be the president of myanmar for a 1, 000 years

[djebelmqabeldjebel]

When the Burmese army killed, raped and burned Rohingyia she looked the other way and pretended nothing was happening to them. She even went to the Hage to defend the Burmese army !
You sleep with the wolves, you get eaten by the wolves.
Wise choice Mrs Aung San Suu Kyi, you have been enjoying power for a few years and now you have to pay the piper!
What a sorry life you made for yourself Mrs Aung San Suu Kyi!

[Ayaki]

If Change the law, She Can become the Myanmar President.

Bogyoke Aung San was charged by the fleeing British with treason and sentenced him in ABSENTIA to DEATH, for bringing in the invading Japanese forces in his efforts to free the Burmese from the colonial yoke. When they came back, seeing that the whole country dearly loved and revered him (like his daughter) and was united behind him they would not carry out the sentence; instead, for peace and prosperity the British made Bogyoke the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of War in the last British Administration. What an insightful act!
