We watched Lady of Burma at the Hazlitt theatre last night – a gift from wonderful brother and sister in law, Andrew and Sarah.

Although I know the story of Aung San Suu Kyi fairly way I was moved to tears tonight as the sheer level of her pain and sacrifice were evident in a raw sense: the seperation from her husband and her boys in England, the pain of not being able to see her husband on his death bed, the mothers agony of seperation from her sons and grandchildren that she has never held, the anger at how her people are treated, the fear of the generals over this frail, vulnerable woman.

The bravery and commitment of Aung San Suu Kyi was conveyed in a powerful way which moved the audience to tears.

Today the Burma Campaign has added new companies to its dirty list – a list of comapanies that through their business fund the military junta of Burma that has held Aung sang under arrest for 12 years, the same junta that has murdered thousands of innocent people, the same junta that we saw only months ago beat and kill thousands of unarmed monks.

Please look at the list and avoid these companies that support this brutal regime.
