 LenaRain rated 7 months agoactivism, human-rights, media, world, burma - Aung San Suu Kyi, whose father was assassinated for freedom when she was two, and has spent years of her life unjustly incarcerated for following in his footsteps, is currently under house arrest.
The Nobel Peace Price winner now asks, "Please use your liberty to promote ours."

- China is paralyzing UN Security Council action on Burma. They are the main economic, military, and political supporters of the military junta. For fifteen years China has refused to press its closest ally to allow its people human rights, and used its veto power to block the UN Security Council from acting. As a result, the UN is making the same mistakes it made on Darfur and Rwanda. We are calling on people of conscience throughout the world to boycott the 2008 Chinese Olympics, join our efforts.

Letter from over 25 artists calls on Secretary General to personally Intervene
to secure the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The letter was organized by the US Campaign for Burma and Human Rights Action Center and led by Oscar-winning acteress Anjelika Huston.
Dear United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon,
We are writing to urge you to personally intervene to secure the release of the world's only imprisoned Nobel Prize recipient, Aung San Suu Kyi. As you know, she has been held under house arrest in the southeast Asian country of Burma for 12 of the past 17 years. On June 19th, she spent her 62nd birthday under house arrest.
Aung San Suu Kyi is not just a charismatic leader, she is the elected leader of the Burmese people. In Burma's last election, she won 82% of the seats in Parliament, yet the military regime cruelly locked her up along with many members of her party. Meanwhile, according to the United Nations expert on human rights in Burma, the ruling military regime has burned down or otherwise destroyed over 3,000 villages in eastern Burma, forcing over 1 million and a half people to flee their homes.
This courageous, brave woman whom many call Burma's Nelson Mandela should be released and the military regime should end its attacks on civilians. We urge you to take action to secure her immediate release.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Aniston, Anne Archer, Jim Carey, Dustin Hoffman, Anjelica Huston,Christine Lahti, Susan Sarandon,Robin Williams,Robin Wright, Bono, US Senator John McCaine (R-AZ), US Senator Dianne Feinstein (D_CA),and many others.
Aung San Suu Kyi
