It’s the time of year again when it is even more important to remind the Burmese military dictatorship that the world has not forgotten the plight of the normal people of the country, it is time to again say enough is enough, and that the house arrest of the country’s democratically elected leader of 10 years is unjust, unfair and unfounded.

The life of Aung San Suu Kyi is always at risk from the dictatorship. If they believe the world has lost interest, or does not care, the risk to Aung San Suu Kyi is higher. WE need to remind the military of Burma that we are watching.

An easy, and inexpensive, way for you to do this is to send Aung San Suu Kyi a birthday card. On June 19th she will be 61. It is unlikely that Aung San Suu Kyi will receive your cards, but the soldiers who open them will know that the world stands, maybe silently, but in support.

Last year Tom got his whole class to send cards – I ended up having to send a parcel of 40 cards from 10 and 11 year olds.

Please – send a card; it’s such an easy way to make a difference and to stand up for justice. Send your cards to:

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
54 University Avenue
Bahan 11201
Yangon
Myanmar

On the same day, June 19th, there is also a demonstration outside the Burmese embassy in London fom 12 until 2.
