Ko Ko Gyi (Burmese: ကိုကိုကြီး, [kòkòdʑí] born 18 December 1961) is a Burmese politician and leading democracy activist. For his protests against the military government, he spent over 17 years in prison on multiple occasions between 1989 and 2012.[note 1] He was considered a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International.[1] BBC News describes him as a key member of the 8888 Generation movement.[2][3] He is one of the country's most prominent activists, second only to Min Ko Naing.[1][4]
