Dear Senior General Than Shwe:
I write to you out of deep concern at the guilty verdict of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi on August 11, 2009. She should have never been arrested in the first place for her work to protect human rights in Myanmar.
I urge your government to demonstrate Myanmar’s commitment to human rights by ordering her immediate and unconditional release.
The sentencing of political prisoners is an affront to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which your government is obliged to uphold as a member of the United Nations. That is why I am also calling on you to free the more than 2,100 prisoners of conscience being detained right now in Myanmar.
I will remain vigilant in my calls for human rights.
Sincerely,
Your First and Last Name
Your Country
