World Only Imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Aung San Suu Kyi Sent to Insein Prison
Three to Five Years Imprisonment Looming for Crime She Never Committed; Global Protest Is Called

(Washington, DC, May 14, 2009) The U.S. Campaign for Burma today strongly denounced the military junta that rules the Southeast Asian country of Burma for its unfair and unjust treatment of the world’s only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Aung San Suu Kyi. Today, Aung San Suu Kyi, along with two women companions, was transferred by police security forces to Burma’s notorious Insein Prison from her residence where she has been under house arrest since 2003. She and her companions were forced to appear before a judge at a special court held inside Insein Prison. A police prosecutor read the charges, which accuse her of breaching the terms of her house arrest. Last week, an American entered her house unlawfully without invitation after swimming across a lake to her property and refused to leave at once when she pleaded with him to do so. Later, the judge issued a remand to detain her and her live-in companions, Daw Khin Khin Win and Win Ma Ma, for 14 days. They were asked to appear before a court on May 18, 2009. Currently, Aung San Suu Kyi and her two companions are being detained in Insein Prison. If found guilty, Aung San Suu Kyi will be imprisoned for three to five years.
