Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma's most well-known political prisoner, has been on house arrest for the past 19-years. She is now receiving international support from Philippine's President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Arroyo met with Burma's prime minister, Thein Sein, last week in Thailand for the regional summit. There seems to be positive consideration for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi according to the Philippine Foreign Affairs Department. President Arroyo urges the Burmese government to release Suu Kyi because it "would create 'tremendous goodwill' for Burma internationally.
