October 24th has been designated Aung San Suu Kyi day.
Aung San Suu Kyi is the democratically elected leader of Burma, on the 24th she will have been under house arrest for 12 years.
To mark this at 12 noon in 12 key cities around the world 12 people will come together wearing Aung San Suu Kyi masks and dressed in white to protest outside Chinese embassies. Why China? Because they can exert the most influence over Burma and so far they have been dragging their feet. Why White? Because that's what political prisoners in Burma are made to wear. The 12 peaceful protestors will be chained together.
