lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I failed to catch the President's eye this morning. We should not allow this plenary session to pass without paying some attention to the fact that the Nobel laureate and Sakharov Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, is still denied her freedom. It is exactly ten years since she and the National League for Democracy won that election which the dictators proceeded to completely ignore. There has been a whole decade of dictatorship in that country. Next Monday, Aung San Suu Kyi will be 55 years old. It is a very poignant birthday for her. In March, her husband died of cancer. He asked for permission to visit her to say goodbye to his dear wife. The military junta in Burma refused permission for him to see her. These military dictators remain terrified of a small and gentle woman who has no malice, no uniforms or tanks to protect her. She and the people of Burma will not give up. What I am asking today is for the European Parliament to do what she asks. She says: "Please use your liberty to support ours". I ask the President of this Parliament to write to the military junta in Burma to say: stop the human rights abuses, return to democracy and give freedom to Aung San Suu Kyi."@en1
