Aung San Suu Kyi

AGE: 63
OCCUPATION: National League of Democracy leader
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 2

PRO: The famed Burmese activist — she has spent much of the past two decades under house arrest because of her pro-democracy stance — is pushing the U.N. to take action against her country's human-rights violations. And thanks to the antijunta demonstrations in 2007, more people are listening to her than ever before.

CON: Although the riots further tarnished the Burmese government's reputation, the junta remains in power.
