Following text in italics is from Amnesty International:

"Myanmar's military junta put Nobel Peace laureate and pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi on trial last week on flimsy charges that could land her in the country's notorious Insein Prison for 5 years.

Suu Kyi has already spent much of the past 20 years under house arrest. Her prolonged imprisonment in Insein Prison, which has been referred to as the "darkest hell-hole in
Burma," could effectively be a death sentence given her declining health.

So when we got news that she could be sent to jail, we called on activists from every corner of the globe to take a stand again on her behalf.


We know that appealing to authoritarian rulers seems like an uphill battle; but we've proven time and again that even military dictatorships and other repressive regimes are no match for Amnesty's millions-strong global movement.

That's why we're hoping you'll make a monthly gift of just $5 today to help us ensure we can continue to be there as a beacon of hope for those at risk of rights abuses.
Join the Partners of Conscience, Amnesty International's monthly giving program. "
