Amnesty International has called for another action on behalf of Burmese political prisoner and human rights advocate Aung San Suu Kyi. Suu Kyi is being held in the infamous Insein prison-- an institution known as "the darkest hell-hole in Burma" where prisoners and dissidents are routinely tortured.
Suu Kyi is a hero to many and her unjust imprisonment is a reminder of the many human rights abuses committed by the Burmese state. Nor is her case unusual. There are currently 2,100 political prisoners in Myanmar, including one young man who was sentenced to ten years in Insein prison for distributing a portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi. Don't let these injustices be forgotten. Tell the Burmese government that human rights are universal and non-negotiable. Support our campaign to save the political prisoners of Myanmar.
