ABOUT US

We are a group of young Burmese people, who aspire to create a Forum in which Burmese individuals in the UK and the existing political and ethnic groups can come together and discuss specific issues and questions. We are not affiliated with any existing organisations or coalitions and are not funded by any bodies. We aim to make the forums action-oriented, enabling coordination of activities between existing groups and establishing effective networks.

Thank you so much for keep supporting for FREE BURMA.

Global Campaign for Free Aung San Suu Kyi
http://www.64forsuu.org

Show your support and add your message today. Just go to http://www.64ForSuu.org to add a video, text, image or twitter. If you¹re using Twitter, please tweet your 64 with the hashtag #assk64The launch on 27th May coincides with the day that, according to the Burmese regime, Aung San Suu Kyi¹s house arrest expires. The UN has already ruled
that her detention is illegal. More than 2,100 political prisoners are being held in Burma¹s jails.

On 18th May Aung San Suu Kyi was put on trial, charged with breaching the terms of her house arrest after an American man, John Yettaw, swam to her house and refused to leave. The dictatorship is using the visit as an opportunity to extend her detention. Her trial is ongoing and she could face a further five years in detention.

64forSuu.org aims to demonstrate the scale of outrage over her continued detention by encouraging high profile individuals and the public around the world to write a 64 word message for Aung San Suu Kyi¹s 64th birthday on June 19th.
