"On 27 May, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi?s latest term of house arrest comes up for review. On that day, Daw Suu will have spent approximately 11 years and 7 months under house arrest since she was initially detained on July 20, 1989. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has never been charged with a crime.1
Burma?s military regime continues to detain Daw Aung San Suu Kyi out of fear. Fear of her ability to mobilize Burma?s people to peacefully work for democratic reform. And fear of her as the symbol for the irresistible will of Burma?s people who yearn for a free and democratic society. In one of her notable speeches, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said, ?It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.” Despite the junta?s efforts to silence Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her supporters, peaceful acts of resistance continue to grow. Most recently: ?Open Heart”, Tuesday prayer campaign, ?White Sunday” and ?White Expression”... The Lady Speaks;
