Clooney and Beckham’s Suu Kyi help
George Clooney and David Beckham have joined Gordon Brown in preparing messages of support for Burma’s opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Stephen Fry, Eddie Izzard, Kevin Spacey and Sarah Brown have also been asked to write 64-word messages of support for the political figure, which will be delivered on her 64th birthday on June 19.
Clooney, Beckham and James Bond actor Daniel Craig have signed a message from campaign group Not on Our Watch.
It says: “Nineteen years ago, the Burmese people chose Aung San Suu Kyi as their next leader. For most of those 19 years she has been kept under house arrest by the military junta that runs the country. We must not stand by as she is silenced again. Now is the time for the international community to speak with one voice: Free Aung San Suu Kyi.”
Supporters of the campaign can upload video, text or pictures, or twitter messages of support on the site.
The leader has been held under house arrest for 13 of the past 19 years, and currently stands accused of breaking the terms of her confinement.
The launch of the website 64forSuu.org is timed to coincide with the date her imprisonment should have stopped.
