News at Eleven (Back Page): As Aung San Suu Kyi today reaches

a total of 15 years in detention, Burma Campaign UK called for urgent international pressure to force Burma's dictatorship to unconditionally release her on 13th November. Aung San Suu Kyi's current period of detention expires on November 13th, following her being placed under house arrest after a sham trial in August 2009. Although there was an international outcry at the time, no concrete action was taken to try to secure her release.
