Aung San Suu Kyi

I continue to write about Daw Aung San Suu Kyi because we should care. We should care that this courageous woman continues to held under house arrest by her government. I've written about her a couple of times before when her detention was extended in the past, and have been following her story for more than 15 years now.

I do wonder when the world will care enough for her to be free. She has courageously refused to leave Burma in the past. She stayed when the opportunities presented because she knew leaving would mean never returning...never continuing the fight for freedom for all of the citizens of Burma. While she is there even under house arrest she is a beacon of hope for the opposition, for freedom.

So you see, if Aung San Suu Kyi is truly free then so is Burma.
