That this House is saddened that Aung San Suu Kyi, the opposition leader in Burma, has had her house arrest extended by the Burma junta; notes that she has been held without trial for more than 12 of the last 18 years; and calls on the Government to urge the Burma junta to release Aung San Suu Kyi and the further 2,000 political prisoners so that democratic politics can be restored to Burma.
