June 19th was Aung San Suu Kyi’s birthday, it is her 14th birthday in detention. As you know we set up 64ForSuu.org to allow people from all over the world to leave message of support for Burma’s democracy leader. Today Paul McCartney, Bono and Yoko Ono have all submitted message to the site. We’ve received over 12k message from over 100 countries from politicians, actors, Prime Ministers, presidents. The site is being used to promote events all over the world.
The site has become the centre of the global call for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi with 900+ news articles being written about it. Aung San Suu Kyi is currently trending as the 2nd most popular phrase on Twitter right now. We’ve also seen her Facebook page (www.facebook.com/aungsansuukyi) explode in popularity with nearly 100k supporters now.
64forsuu.org was setup by GreenNet members Burma Campaign UK in collaboration with other charities, NGOs and activsts from around the world.
