Aung San Suu Kyi, AC (Burmese: အောင်ဆန်းစုကြည်; MLCTS: aung hcan: cu. krany, /aʊŋˌsæn.suːˈtʃiː/,Burmese pronunciation: [àʊɴ sʰáɴ sṵ tɕì]; born 19 June 1945) is a Burmese Social Democratic stateswoman, politician and president of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Myanmar.

She remained under house arrest in Burma for almost 15 of the 21 years from 20 July 1989 until her most recent release on 13 November 2010, becoming one of the world's most prominent political prisoners.
Suu Kyi received the Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. In 1992, she was awarded the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding by the government of India and the International Simón Bolívar Prize from the government of Venezuela. In 2012, the Government of Pakistan awarded her the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Award For Democracy. In 2007, the Government of Canada made her an honorary citizen of that country, the fourth person ever to receive the honour. In 2011, she was awarded the Wallenberg Medal. On 19 September 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi was also presented with the Congressional Gold Medal, which is, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in the United States.

"When a girl gets proper education and monetary freedom, only then will [child-marriages] reduce. Passing a law alone won't stop it. You have to give them opportunity, you have to create the atmosphere, so the parents think for girls marriage is not the ultimate goal." - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. In an exclusive interview, with the BBC's Mishal Husain, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina talks about MDGs; child-marriages; secularism; and being a woman & fighting terrorism. "যখন একটি মেয়ে সুষ্ঠু শিক্ষা ও অর্থনৈতিক স্বাধীনতা পাবে, শুধুমাত্র তখনই এটা (বাল্যবিবাহ) বন্ধ হবে। শুধু আইন করে এটা বন্ধ করা যাবেনা। তাদের সুযোগ দিতে হবে, এমন একটি পরিবেশ তৈরি করতে হবে যাতে অভিভাবকেরা মনে করেন, বিয়ে একটি মেয়ের জীবনের একমাত্র লক্ষ্য হতে পারে না।" - মাননীয় প্রধানমন্ত্রী শেখ হাসিনা। সহস্রাব্দ উন্নয়ন লক্ষ্...

David Cameron Get Flustered in Interview with Mishal Husain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCeqplPQ0Yc David Cameron was audibly frustrated as he was given a thorough grilling this morning - even making an exasperated off-mic gaffe at the end of the interview. After being given an easy ride by Sky's Eammon Holmes and LBC's Nick Ferrari, the Prime Minister was hauled over the coals by the BBC's Mishal Husain on the Today Programme over cuts to tax credits, Syria, ISIS and more. After a tense exchange over the future of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad , the PM was heard exhaling sharply. And at the end of the interview, he was heard saying "Well, that was wide-ranging and frank..." on an open microphone as he stood up to leave the studio. Source: Mirror.co.uk
