![]() | Burmese Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced today to 18 months of house arrest after a court found her guilty of "violating security laws". The charge was based on her allowing a US national into the lakeside home where she has been held under house arrest.
Fourteen Nobel Laureates have responded to the conviction with an impassioned open letter to the members of the UN Security Council, calling for the Security Council to pass a resolution creating a Commission of Inquiry into war crimes and crimes against humanity in Burma, and to end the impunity of the Burmese military. |

Either way, when you see them go, that society is moving toward conflict and oppression.
