June 18, 2010Saturday, June 19th is Aung San Suu Kyi's (ASSK) 65th Birthday. She is the rightfully elected leader of Burma and has been under house arrest by order of the military junta for 14 of the last 20 years. She is the ONLY Nobel Prize winner under arrest in her own country. She is one of thousands of prisoners of conscience in Burma. The military junta of Burma is the worst human rights violator in the world (people forced into slavery, prostitution, etc; the world's largest children's army; destruction of hundreds of villages; ethnic cleansing of the Karen people; and more).AS LONG AS SHE IS UNDER ARREST, NONE OF US ARE FREE!Please take time to explore some of these links to educate yourself on ASSK and Burma:
