Aung San Suu Kyi Released: 1 Down, 2,202 To Go

Dear friend

Today we saw the fantastic news from Burma that Aung San Suu Kyi has been released.

Of course we are delighted that she is now free but we also need to make sure that her release is not seen as a sign that democratic reform is on the way. We know that the dictatorship will use her release to get positive publicity after the blatant rigging of elections on 7th November. There are

still more than 2,200 other political prisoners still suffering in Burma¹s jails.

Campaigning works!

We have seen today how effective campaigning can be but we have a lot more to do.

The Burma Campaign UK is making a difference, but we are a small organisation and without support from members of the public our work would end.

Please help us continue our campaign to free all Burma¹s political prisoners and make a donation today: http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/donate

A big thank you to everyone!

(AGI) - Rangoon, 13 nov. - Aung San Suu Kyi e' "completamente libera, senza condizioni": lo afferma un esponente della giunta militare birmana. La leader dell'opposizione e premio Nobel per la Pace 1991 ha trascorso 15 degli ultimi 21 anni agli arresti domiciliari.

In apparenza fragile e delicata, in realta', la donna che e' stata premiata con il Nobel per la Pace nel 1991 ha una tenacia di ferro e ha svolto un ruolo cruciale nel mantenere l'attenzione del mondo sulla giunta militare e i diritti negati in Birmania. segue
