YANGON, Myanmar, June 16, 2005:
19 June marks the 60th birthday of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese pro-democracy leader and Nobel peace laureate.
She will spend the day detained in her house in Yangon, just as she has spent over 3,500 previous days - isolated and cut off from her many friends and supporters in Myanmar and around the world, writes Ian Pearson, Foreign Office Minister of the British Government.
She was arrested most recently in May 2003, after a brief period of freedom, and has been detained ever since, comments Mr.Pearson in an article posted on June 16, 2005 on the website of the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
