Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was declared South Africa's first black president in 1994 after having spent 27 years in prison for fighting colonial rule. Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in a cell on Robben Island, off Cape Town's coast. The South African icon broke rocks into gravel during the day and slept on a straw mat, a 7-by-7-foot space at night.

Aung San Suu Kyi

On November 14, 2010, Myanmar's democracy icon and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi was released after spending more than 15 years under house arrest for leading mass protests against Myanmar's military junta. Suu Kyi's husband Michael Aris died of cancer during her imprisonment, and she did not meet her grandchildren until granted freedom in 2010. Since her release, the 67-year-old has led the National League for Democracy party, winning a seat in parliament during 2012's election.
