520 _aNamed Zoya by her father for the Soviet resistance fighter Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, who was executed by the Germans in World War II, Phan, a member of the Karen people of Myanmar, has a destiny that seems fated. The daughter of the general secretary of the Karen National Union (KNU) and a resistance fighter, Phan grew up at the heart of a struggle for democracy. Forced to flee her village at the age of 14 after an attack by the Burmese army, Phan and her family lived in refugee camps in Thailand. Phan eventually earned a charity scholarship to study in Bangkok, then studied in the United Kingdom and claimed full refugee status. Despite threats to her life and the assassination of her father, Phan has actively spoken out about the repression of the Karen people living in Burma. She has met with senior politicians worldwide and serves as the Burma Campaign UK's international coordinator for human rights.
