Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has committed her life to the non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights in Burma. Since 1988, she has been the leader of the democratic opposition and a voice of conciliation and unity among the regions and peoples of Burma. Undaunted and fearless through many years of detention and efforts to intimidate her, in speaking out for democracy and human rights in Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi exemplifies the courage and commitment to the humanitarian values of Raoul Wallenberg.

Released from house arrest in 2010, she is unable to leave Burma for fear that the authorities may not permit her to return. Daw Suu has pre-recorded her Wallenberg Lecture. Screening of the lecture will be followed immediately by a live Q&A with Daw Suu in Burma.
