Myanmar pressed to release Suu Kyi

A brief update on one of our earlier concerns: the unjust imprisonment of the democratically elected opposition leader in Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi. Suu Kyi has been under house arrest since 2003 by the military regime in power.

This week, an official from the U.S. State Department has again pressed for her release, unfortunately, it seems, to no avail.

And so the movement to release this symbol of human rights and courage continues.
