Freedom of movement is a fundamental human right.
Denying Aung San Suu Kyi this right is an offense to free people everywhere. It is a clear attempt by Burmese authorities to deflect attention from their harassment of Aung San Suu Kyi and the democratic opposition. Each day that the Burmese authorities restrain Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma's isolation from the international community deepens. The government of Burma should permit Aung San Suu Kyi's travel and end this violation of her basic human rights immediately.
