Don’t trust the military junta in Burma when they issue so-called democracy plans. Just last month they arrested Nilar Thein, a woman rights defender and leading pro-democracy activist. This, just about one-year after the nationwide nonviolent protests dubbed the Saffron Revolution in Burma. On this one-year anniversary, I and my fellow Laureates of the Nobel Women’s Initiative honor the courage and determination of the men and women of Burma. We call for the immediate release of all Burma’s political prisoners, including sister laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and Nilar Thein. We are urging that the call of the people of Burma for democracy finally be heeded by the junta. Please check out our video to learn more.
