(WiPC/IFEX) – WiPC is seriously concerned about the well-being of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) and writer, who is held incommunicado at an unknown location and is reported to have started a hunger strike to protest her detention. Aung San Suu Kyi was taken into “protective custody” on 30 May 2003 following allegedly government-orchestrated clashes between NLD and government supporters. International PEN is gravely concerned for the safety of Aung San Suu Kyi.
International PEN demands the immediate and unconditional release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all other writers detained in Myanmar (Burma) in violation of Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
