Call for Release of Aung San Suu Kyi


The prison release date for noted human rights activist Aung San Suu Kyi is approaching once again. Suu Kyi is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning democracy activist and opponent of the military junta in Myanmar. She is also a political prisoner who has been repeatedly jailed on trumped-up charges. Although the arrival of her release date gives us great hope, the Burmese state has allowed that date to approach many times in the past, only to invent excuses and wild accusations at the last minute to keep her behind bars.
Help us make sure that that doesn't happen again. Stand with Aung San Suu Kyi and stand up for human rights. You can take action on the Amnesty website here.
You can also get updates related to Suu Kyi's case delivered directly to your phone.
Best wishes for all human rights activists in Burma and around the world.
