Free bird towards a free Burma By Daw Aung San Suu Kyi

Here is a model letter (email message) for you to use:

July 4,2007

We are (I am) writing this letter (message) in moral outrage to protest the military repression and detention of Aung San Suu Kyi. Why is this happening to a winner of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to bring democracy to Burma? She is an international symbol of heroic and peaceful resistance in the face of repression. Because of the imposed military repression of the people of Burma, their lives are intolerable and there are systematic abuses of their human rights.
We are (I am) demanding immediate release from detention and freedom for Aung San Suu Kyi and restoration of human rights and democracy in Burma through the elected National League for Democracy.

Sincerely,

Send to:
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Myanmar
Email: mofa.aung@mptmail.net.mm

Permanent Representative of the Union of Myanmar to the United Nations

"On the shores of
Inya lake
A prisoner of conscience waits
Isolated but strong she stands
Lovingly she holds the hope of Burma's freedom in her hands
Burmas true leader has always taught
That freedom from fear shall lead to freedom of thought
Brutes and barbed wire shall all be in vain
Freedom is a dream that cannot be contained.
Aung sun suu kyi you are Burmas bird of freedom who sings from the Padauk tree
Sing with all your heart
For soon Burma shall be free.."
