Look Aung San Suu Kyi in the eye

On January 5 of this year, 13 Nobel Peace Prize laureates in eight countries attempted to apply for visas to visit our sister laureate Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma, where she remains under house arrest — this time since May of 2003. When we arrived at the Burmese consulate in Washington DC, the open gate was immediately closed and locked, writes Shirin Ebadi and Jody Williams.
