The whole world must act
Published by Toby Coop October 24th, 2007 in UncategorizedThese are words of compelling power, written by a woman of extraordinary courage. Today Daw Aung San Suu Kyi marks the end of her 12th year under house arrest. And that anniversary tells only part of the story: since she committed her life to a better future for Burma she has watched her children grow up in a faraway land, and she has survived an attack that left 80 of her supporters beaten to death. I had the privilege of meeting her husband shortly before his death, as he faced with courage both his illness and the cruel Burmese policy that prevented him from seeing his wife in his last days.
