Add your 64 for Aung San Suu Kyi

ASSK_IMAGEBorn on 19 June 1945, detained democracy leader and Nobel Peace Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi will face her 64th birthday in Insein Prison. Detained for more than 13 years by the military junta, Aung San Suu Kyi was moved to Insein after her arrest on 14 May 2009.

Having committed no crime, Aung San Suu Kyi currently faces a sentence of 3-5 years and a mockery of a trial. Clearly an attempt to add trumped-up charges at a time when Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's unlawful detention was scheduled to end 27 May 2009, the democratic leader is now at the notorious Insein Prison and will remain there for her 64th birthday.


In honor of Aung San Suu Kyi's 64th birthday, 64 for Aung San Suu Kyi, has invited members of the international community to post 64 words of support for Aung San Suu Kyi.

This most recent egregious abuse of power must not continue to fall on deaf ears. You can share your support of Aung San Suu Kyi - an international symbol of heroic and peaceful resistance in the face of oppression in the following ways:
