Former Liberal Democrat Councillor for Knaphill Learn more

On Friday 19th June it is the 64th Birthday of Aung San Suu Kyi. She has remained under house arrest for of 13 years following the refusal of the Burmese military to accept the victory of the National League for Democracy in the 1990 general election. She is now facing a futher 3 – 5 years detention for having been visited (against her own wishes). Aun San Suu Kyi is a Nobel Peace Prize winner and Liberal Prize for Freedom winner 1995. Her continued imprisonment is an affront to democracy and in my opinion it is a crime against humanity for a military to prevent a democratically elected government to take power. I have posted a message to Aun San Suu Kyi on the website 64forsuu.com and urge others to do the same.
To make sure everyone in Woking is aware of this issue I have asked for the Woking flag to be flown at half mast on Friday 19th June, I hope it will be possible for this to happen. To see what I wrote or to post yourself seehttp://www.64forsuu.org/word.php?wid=7441 or http://64forsuu.com/
