Aung San Suu Kyi – 62nd Birthday Party

On Tuesday 19th June, Aung San Suu Kyi will celebrate her 62nd

birthday.

But of course she will be celebrating it alone and under

house arrest.

Burma’s brutal military dictatorship has defied calls

from the UN, USA, EU and ASEAN to release her but instead have extended her

detention under house arrest for yet another year starting on 25 May. 2007

She is now in her 12th year of detention.

She isn't allowed to see family or friends as all visitors are banned and her phone line is cut.

Everyone however is invited to her Birthday party but instead of funny hats,games and squidgy cake maybe as part of a fun filled day out we could all possibly take a little bit of action to help ....Free Aung San Suu Kyi!

Anyway for those in the Smoke .... there wil be a hoolie....or rather a..

Senior General Than Shwe

Naypyidaw

Burma

Dear Senior General Than Shwe:

We are writing this public letter to call for the immediate release of the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.

On January 8, 2007, new United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on you to release Aung San Suu Kyi. May 27, 2007 affords an excellent opportunity to respond to his request. Indeed, the UN General Assembly, former UN Commission on Human Rights, ASEAN, European Union, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, and many other countries have all called for Aung San Suu Kyi's immediate release.

Aung San Suu Kyi is not calling for revolution in Burma, but rather peaceful, nonviolent dialogue between the military, National League for Democracy, and Burma's ethnic groups. The UN General Assembly resolution, and 15 previous resolutions also support this approach.

We strongly urge you to respond to the United Nations and countless other countries and regional groupings around the world by releasing Aung San Suu Kyi before May 27th and committing to participate in peaceful, tripartite dialogue as outlined by the General Assembly.

Sincerely,

1. The Honorable Raul Ricardo Alfonsi­n

I will certainly put one in the post today assuming the address is correct. It really is a stinking situation that someone who was democratically elected is under house arrest.

One question though, why were some of the honorables bolded out?
