Song and Walk for Aung San Suu Kyi

Song and Walk for Aung San Suu Kyi after Bono announced her the 'Ambassador of Conscience' 2009 on behalf of Amnesty International.

'As powerful a voice and as strong a leader in these times, as Dr. King and Nelson Mandela were in theirs... is Aung San Suu Kyi.
'She has been under house arrest in her native Burma for most of the last 20 years. Her crime is that if she was to participate in elections she would win.
'This week, the brutal force that has her incarcerated will decide in a mock trial if she will spend the next 5 years in a prison.
'We are proud to announce tonight...on the 27th of July in Dublin...that Amnesty International have chosen Aung San Suu Kyi as the recipient of their Ambassador of Conscience Award 2009.
Thank God for Amnesty International. May God keep Aung Sang Suu Kyi safe.'

Such a memorable night and the atmosphere was electric. That was me 'walking on' stage with the rain jacket wrapped around my waist in the 12th second, what an experience!!!!!! Thanks for the memory.
