Aung San Suu Kyi and Burma have many joining the cause every single day. It's a worthy cause and one that millions of people in Burma (Myanmar) are begging other people to help them with.Don't think that her 'house' arrest is a pleasant experience. She's isolated, no communication, rarely a visit, and the place is barricaded way behind a wall, fence, barbed wire and guards. Even letting it known you wish to visit her can cause a serious problem, especially if it is a citizen of Burma.My intention is simply to bring awareness.It's very touching, humbling, and heartbreaking when another, of grace, integrity and moral character, requests in a sincere and gentle plea, begging other people to "Please, use your liberty to promote ours".Free Burma and Free Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.Coldplay, U2, Bono, Avril Levine, Eric Clapton, Pearl Jam, Damien Rice, and many other people, every day, are becoming aware and joining the cause.

Burma remains a source of deep concern because it is the second largest producer of illicit opium, and it produces and trafficks Amphetamine Type Substances (ATS). A 2005 U.S. Government survey found 40,000 hectares producing 380 metric tons of potential heroin. Within the Burmese regime and military, there are serious problems of official corruption, complicity, and lack of control over high-level drug traffickers, and amphetamine production and consumption. U.S. counter narcotics assistance was suspended in 1988, when the military regime began suppressing the pro-democracy movement.Trafficking in PersonsThe United States has designated Burma a Tier 3 country under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act because the regime does not fully comply with the minimum standards to eliminate trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so. Burma trafficks women, children, and men for forced labor andsexual exploitation, both internally and to several Asian countries. The regime's economic mismanagement, human rights abuses, and forced labor policy contribute to Burma's large human trafficking problem. After the regime began arresting opponents of forced labor, the International Labor Organization (ILO)stopped accepting new cases documenting these abuses in Burma. In 2005, the regime imposed new restrictions on all NGOs and international organizations, undermining their ability to care for trafficking victims. The Burmese government uses internal forced labor, with reports of the Burmese Army forcibly enlisting thousands of children.DISCLAIMER: I don't own the rights to anything you see or hear in this video
