About This Item
E Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Penguin USA, 1991 First Edition (Soft Cover, Hard Cover issued simultaneously) Full Number Line 1991, edited and with introduction by Michael Aris, subject's husband, in which he expresses the hope that the recent awarding of the Nobel Prize will influence the Myanmar government to release her. On the last page there is a pencilled notation, "10 July 1995 - Freed unconditionally, victorious. like Ghandi and Mandella." Sad to say, she was rearrested shortly thereafter, and except for a few short periods has been under house arrest much of the time, and for the past 13 years continuously. On 27 May 2008 her house arrest was extended for another year. When her husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997, the Burmese government denied him an entry visa. He died in 1999 and they never saw each other again. She remains separated from her children, who live in the United Kingdom.[16] NEWS: the organisation AVAAZ is working together with Kyi's Burmese followers to collect 888,888 SIGNATURES to present to the Junta demanding her release. Google them to SIGN THE PETITION! 18mar2009. She is now 63 years old and there is concern about her health and living conditions. The pages of this copy are slightly yellowed from age. There is a very small price removal tag with residue on the front page, a bump impression on spine, edge wear at spine bottom and the aforementioned pencilled annotation.
