The trial of 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced Awng-Sawn-Sue-Chee) is coming to a close. The Burmese government has done everything in its power to attempt to continue the arrest of this pro-democracy leader. She has been in prison or under house arrest for 13 of the past 19 years.
The military-led dictatorship has intimidated witnesses, and stripped lawyers who are working on this case of their law liscense.
The military government fears this woman–her influence, her presence, and her leadership. They are so afraid of her that it is illegal to say her name aloud in public – so the Burmese simply refer to her as “the Lady”.
Pray that God’s grace would be evident in the life of “the Lady”, and that justice would prevail. Pray for our friends and the church in Burma - times are very difficult right now.
