lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, my reason for speaking today is to draw attention to the fact that on 19 June, in the time between this part-session and the next one, Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of Burma’s democracy movement, will celebrate her 60th birthday. On that day she will have spent 9 years 238 days in detention. The junta in Burma is now more hardline and more firmly in control than ever. Aung San Suu Kyi’s house arrest is now more restrictive than it has ever been. She has no visitors; her phone line has been cut; she lives behind a wall of sandbags and barbed wire, patrolled continuously by armed guards and soldiers. We see no sign of change. The last resolution of this Parliament on Burma was very clear. We would ask the Commission to seriously reconsider softening its approach to this regime, which continues to show utter contempt for human rights and democracy. Aung San Suu Kyi is a Nobel Peace Prize winner and a recipient of the Sakharov Prize of this Parliament. She shows breathtaking courage. Thank you, Mr President, for your commitment to Aung San Suu Kyi and to the people of Burma."@en1
