Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that the acclaimed Burmese human rights activist Dr Aung San Suu Kyi was released from captivity on Saturday, 13 November 2010, after spending 15 of the last 21 years under house arrest;
(2) further notes that Suu Kyi is a former Nobel Peace Laureate, receiving the prestigious award in 1991 for her selfless, lifelong dedication to the struggle for freedom and democracy in Burma;
3) acknowledges that she is internationally admired as the personification of peaceful resistance;
4) further acknowledges that Suu Kyi's cause, and that of the National League for Democracy, is similar to the struggle fought by many South Africans for a free and fair society governed by democratic rule; and
5) welcomes the government's belated recognition of the injustices of the Myanmar regime and acknowledges the importance of Dr Suu Kyi's release for the sake of democratic reform.
Agreed to.
