Daw Aung San Suu Kyi

Amnesty International also notes that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a prisoner of conscience, is one of more than 2,100 political prisoners in Myanmar. On the 8thof August , the Junta sentenced Aung San Suu Kyi to a further 18 months house arrest for violating an earlier condition of her existing house arrest, after an uninvited man spent two nights there in early May. Amnesty International condemns her arrest and finds this as nothing more than a legal and political agenda.


Come support our event and help us end the human rights violation in Burma. Amnesty International Malaysia will be screening the movie Our Burmese Days and the award winning movie Burma VJ and will launch Action Sheets and Petitions appealing to end the human rights violation in Burma.
