Release Suu Kyi

It is inhuman on the part of the Myanmar junta to keep Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest year after year, not allowing even her sons to visit her. What does it fear? That her release will upset the apple cart of unlimited power? It will happen anyway. If women's organisations the world over speak in one voice, will it not be possible to pressure the junta into setting her free?
