	Michael Aris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Aris (March 27, 1946 – March 27, 1999) was an academic and lecturer in Asian history at St John's College and later at St Antony's College, Oxford.
		St John's College provided Aris with an extended leave of absence as a fellow on full stipend so that he could lobby for his wife's cause.
		In 1997, Aris was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

	Oxford mourns Aris - News - The Oxford Student - Official Student Newspaper
		MICHAEL ARIS, husband of Burmese Nobel Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, and Fellow of St. Anthony's College, died of prostate cancer last month, ending an unconventional yet surprisingly strong marriage of 27 years.
		Aris was always aware that his wife would one day have to return to Myanmar (formerly Burma) due to her family history in order to help her people fight for freedom; Ms Suu Kyi's father was General Aung San, a national hero assassinated in 1947 after winning his country's independence from Britain.
		Mr Aris met his wife while she was a student at Oxford and the couple spent time in Bhutan and the UK before Ms Suu Kyi was forced returned to Myanmar in 1988 to be with her terminally ill mother.

		Although they allowed Aris and the two boys to visit Suu Kyi occasionally even when she was illegally placed under house arrest between July 1989 and July 1995, they had expected that these family reunions would eventually force her to leave Burma.
		Aris' last visit to his wife was over three years ago when he spent Christmas and New Year with her.
		Rangoon argued that when Aris was allowed inside Burma three years ago, he shattered all hope for a national reconciliation between the regime and the opposition party when he gave press interviews criticising the Burmese regime and its leaders on leaving Burma.

		Noting that Aris may be so ill that he might not survive the journey, the junta says it does not want to encourage or endorse such an endeavor.
		Medical facilities in Myanmar are limited, it adds, so that should Aris take a turn for the worse, not only might he be unable to receive proper care, he would severely tax local resources to the detriment of citizens in need.
		If Yangon grants Aris his dying wish, while insisting that the visit not be used for politicking, that would deny its opponents one cudgel to throw at its battered image.
