Free Aung San Suu Kyi

With Sean Penn and other celebs supporting a budding autocracy in Venezuela, it’s nice to see Jim Carrey making a dead-serious appeal for the freedom of Aung San Suu Kyi.

[P.S. – Demonstrations have been flaring up in Rangoon in recent days. Take a moment to appreciate the incredible bravery of the Burmese opposition, whose members are being rounded up by plainclothes thugs:

Wielding brooms and hoes, [government agents] pose as members of the public, chiding the demonstrators before beating and seizing them, according to wire service reports.

Known as the Swan-ar Shin, or Masters of Force, they appear to have taken the place of military intelligence enforcers in combating protests.]
