Please sign the petition to demand that the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon use all the power of the UN to free political prisoners in Burma. It may seem like a signature cannot combat a gun, but the power of dictatorships can often be smashed by the actions of moral protest.

To: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
"Until all of our political prisoners are free, none of us can say that Burma is now truly on the road towards democratic change." Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, 1991 Nobel Peace Prize Winner, held under house arrest for 13 of the last 19 years.
The military government - the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) – must immediately and unconditionally release all political prisoners including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Khun Tun Oo and Min Ko Naing.
The release of all political prisoners is the first and most important step towards freedom and democracy in Burma. We, the undersigned, call upon UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to make it his personal priority to secure the release of all of Burma's political prisoners by the SPDC.
