Washington, D.C.— Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi visits the Lincoln Memorial on September 14 during her first trip to the U.S. capital since her party won elections in Myanmar. President Barack Obama said the United States was ready to lift sanctions on her country, although human rights groups remain concerned about the situation there, particularly for the Rohingya ethnic group, who are not recognized as citizens. Suu Kyi has been criticized for not doing enough to help the Muslim minority.
