Portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi
From history

Aung San Suu Kyi

State Counsellor of Myanmar, 2016 to 2021

A Nobel Peace laureate who spent years under house arrest before leading Myanmar's government, her reputation suffered over the army's treatment of the Rohingya. She was jailed again after the 2021 coup.

Aung San Suu Kyi sits in the right-libertarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly free market and slightly libertarian. The clearest positions are leaning peace-first on war and peace, leaning traditional on culture and leaning nationalist on nation.
