ASSK is an acronym that stands for "Aung San Suu Kyi." It refers to the prominent Burmese politician and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Aung San Suu Kyi is best known for her nonviolent struggle for democracy and human rights in Myanmar (formerly Burma).
Born on June 19, 1945, in Yangon (formerly Rangoon), Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of Burmese independence hero Aung San and Khin Kyi, a prominent Burmese diplomat. After completing her studies abroad, she returned to Myanmar in 1988 when the country was under military rule. She quickly emerged as a leader and founded the National League for Democracy (NLD), a political party advocating for democracy and freedom.
Due to her opposition to the military regime, Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest for nearly 15 years, from 1989 to 2010. Despite her confinement, she remained a symbol of hope and inspiration for the people of Myanmar and the international community. Her persistence in advocating for democracy earned her widespread recognition and numerous awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.
Aung San Suu Kyi played a crucial role in Myanmar's political transition, and in 2016, her party, the NLD, won a majority in the national parliament. Subsequently, she assumed the position of State Counsellor, the de facto head of government.
