Rights and Democracy President Gerard Latulippe was along the Thai-Burmese border during the Nov. 7, 2010 Burmese general election, the first in 20 years. After returning, Latulippe heard reports that Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of Burma's National League of Democracy would be released from house arrest. On Saturday Nov. 13, the leading voice for democratic reform in Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi, was finally allowed to leave the home where she's spent 15 of the last 21 years in confinement.
