Aung San Suu Kyi through the years [PHOTOS]

On her 67th birthday, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's iconic pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace laureate, returned to the United Kingdom, 24 years after leaving for her homeland.

Suu Kyi, sometimes called simply The Lady, spent fifteen years under house arrest because of Myanmar's repressive military junta.

Today, she returns to Oxford, where she lived in the early 1980s with her late husband Michael Aris and their sons Alexander and Kim.
