The Amnesty International head office in New York City says it received thanks from Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma (Myanmar) for our letters to her military junta captors which, she said, helped lead to her release in November. We are writing now on behalf of many other prisoners of conscience including another Nobel Peace Laureate, Liu Okaobo, imprisoned in NE China. He was unable to accept his award in Oslo and his prize sat on an empty chair for the world to see.
Burma/Myanmar, Letters to the Editor
(December 11, 2010) – Letters sent by Amnesty International members helped free Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi recently and more such letters will help the cause of new, imprisoned Nobel Peace Laureate Liu Xiaobo. Please find your local AI chapter via the AI website and learn out how to obtain and send messages of hope and freedom.
Thank you.
