Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, but was
unable to accept the coveted award until June of this year, almost two years
after being freed from house arrest. In her acceptance speech, Suu Kyi said that
winning the prize "opened up a door in my heart," encouraging her to continue
her struggle.
