"Global Day of Action for Burma"

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is Burma’s most celebrated and beloved person in
the struggle for freedom in Burma. She has been under house arrest continuously since May 2003 and for
a total of more than 13 of the past 19 years.

She was supposed to be released from house arrest on the 27th of May. However, on May 13th, Daw
Suu and her two female colleagues were detained after an incident when an American citizen allegedly
swam across Inya Lake and stayed at her house for two days. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been charged
under the regime’s Law Safeguarding the State from the Dangers of Subversive Elements and is being
held in the notorious Insein Prison. Her trial is scheduled for May 18.

Her health has deteriorated recently due to the tight restrictions during her prolong detention. She has
often been denied access to her personal doctor, who also was arrested last Thursday at the time of his
monthly visit.

Burmese democracy movement activists and supporters around the globe are planning a ‘Global Day of
Action’ on May 18, 2008 to demand her release and the release of all political prisoners in Burma.

71 organizations from "Global Action for Burma" (http://gab-burma.weebly.com) will take part in this
activity.

We invite all freedom loving supporters of Burma to join us in support of Aung San Suu Kyi and her
struggle for freedom and democracy in Burma.

We will hold demonstrations in front of the United States embassy and other embassies from democratic
countries, and the United Nations offices.

We request immediate intervention by the United States and other democratic governments
around the globe, the United Nations and International groups for immediate release of Daw Aung
San Suu Kyi and her fellow political prisoners. We strongly urge the democratic governments and
the United Nations to impose all available pressure on the junta to respect the desire of the
international community.

(This is an independent campaign. Independence campaign is a results-oriented

coalition dedicated to Free Aung San Suu Kyi campaign to share information about
the activities.)

We have compiled a list of activities organized by groups around the world. We will
try to keep the list updated.
