Finally, after 21 years of isolation, Myanmar’s ruling military junta has set free Aung San Suu Kyi, a democratic activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Just like Ninoy Aquino, Aung San Suu Kyi’s spirit, courage and determination to help liberate her people from persecution, oppression and military dictatorship were not doused by imprisonment and other injustices thrown upon her. Now that she is free, (I pray that the junta will not drag her back to jail.) I am sure that the political icon continues to fight for the welfare of her country and people in an even more potent way.
I look forward to the day when Myanmar and its people will live in democracy and enjoy the blessings of social justice and freedom no matter when. The Burmese people have suffered a lot and hopefully, very soon, they will join us in the free world.

_______________"While the Burmese regime has gone to extraordinary lengths to isolate and silence Aung San Suu Kyi, she has continued her brave fight for democracy, peace, and change in Burma . . . She is a hero of mine and a source of inspiration for all who work to advance basic human rights in Burma and around the world. The United States looks forward to the day when all of Burma's people are free from fear and persecution." –US Pres. Barack Obama
