Sarah Brown has joined high profile women from around the world calling for the release of Burmese political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi as United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon arrives in Burma.
Ms Suu Kyi is accused of violating the terms of her house arrest and could face a further five years in prison.
Sarah Brown has joined fifty First Ladies, Nobel Laureates and leaders from the world of politics, human rights and the arts to issue a 64 word message.
Read the message:
“Aung San Suu Kyi inspires us all. In recent weeks regional leaders have led demands for her freedom and for reform in Burma. Today we - women from all around the world - add our voices to that call. Until she, and the thousands of other political prisoners in Burma, are released we must keep the spotlight on their plight. The world must not stand by.”
