Despite growing calls for her release. there is no sign that she will be released from her prison any time soon. Many hundreds of other Burmese men and women remain in appallingly horrible prisons. not because of any truly criminal act. but because of their efforts to bring freedom to Burma. Burma has more than 600.000 internally displaced people. Furthermore. over 100.000 people are living in refugee camps along the ThaiBurma border. Thousands more are in hiding in China and India. Where Burma was once a country of peaceful coexistence. it has. under this brutal regime. become a place of strife and discord.
