Website in support of Aung San Suu Kyi

A new website www.64ForSuu.org calling for the release of Burma's democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi and all of Burma's political prisoners, launches today with the backing of major celebrities and a coalition of NGOs and trade unions.

The launch coincides with the day that, according to the Burmese regime, Aung San Suu Kyi house arrest expires. The UN has already ruled that her detention is illegal. More than 2,100 political prisoners are being held in Burma's jails.

She has won numerous international awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize, the Sakharov Prize from the European Parliament and the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom.
