Nineteen years ago, the Burmese people chose Aung San Suu Kyi as their next leader. For most of those 19 years she has been kept under house arrest by the military junta that runs the country. We must not stand by as she is silenced again. Now is the time for the international community to speak with one voice: Free Aung San Suu Kyi. George Clooney (unknown)

Aung San Suu Kyi is an inspiration to her country and to the world. Her plight symbolises the suffering of the people of Burma. For over 13 years, she has been unjustly imprisoned despite winning the elections in 1990. So as she marks her 64th birthday I call on Burma's Generals to release her, and to give the Burmese people the freedom they deserve. The Rt. Hon David Cameron MP, Leader of the Conservative Party (United Kingdom)

Freedom is indivisible. We cannot enjoy our freedoms while others are denied theirs. Aung San Suu Kyi is paying a desperately high price for the freedom of her people: house arrest for many years; now imprisonment in notorious Insein Prison; denial of the right to stand for election for leadership of her people. The international community must require the Junta to release her now. The Baroness Cox of Queensbury, Chief Executive, Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART) (United Kingdom)

As European Social-Democrats, we reiterate our strong call for the freedom in Burma. Free Aung San Suu Kyi, free all the political prisoners in Burma! There will be no possible dialogue with the military authorities of Burma without the recognition of the need to create a new phase based on the dialogue with the democratic opposition and the ethnic communities of the country. Gianni Pittella MEP Head of the Italian Delegation in the PES Group (Italy)

Release Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all of Burma's 2,000 political prisoners. This is a fundamental demand of the people of Burma and of the international community. Their release is the first step on the road to restoring democracy. The right to participate in elections and public life is union business. Trade unions stand with the people of Burma in defending these rights. Sharan Burrow, President, International Trade Union Confederation and the Australian Council of Trade Unions (Australia)

Aung San Suu Kyi is one of the most courageous and inspiring leaders in the world. We have a responsibility to do everything we can to ensure she is freed to play a part in Burma's future. She has a vital contribution to make to peace and reconciliation in Burma. The Generals must release her immediately, and engage in a meaningful process of dialogue. Andrew Mitchell MP, Shadow Secretary of State for International Development (United Kingdom)

This is not justice, this is not democracy, your continued detention and these charges are a perverse political act - we are thinking of you, you have resisted so long, we thought you were about to overcome your opponents, hopefully this is just the last act of a desperate regime. Keep going and we will of course keep supporting our inspirational Sakharov prize winner. Diana Wallis MEP (United Kingdom)

On this day, my birthday and yours, I always remember your long ordeal and silently applaud your endurance. This year, silence is impossible. It is not any action of yours, but your house arrest, which symbolizes the suppression of Burmese democracy, that is criminal. It is your trial, not your struggle, that is unjust. On this day, on every day, I am with you. Salman Rushdie (United Kingdom)

Aung San Suu Kyi is a woman of principle, courage and extraordinary fortitude. The sadistic dictatorship in Burma must now admit that its reasons for keeping her under house arrest are both self-interested and spurious. It must release her immediately, facilitate free elections in Burma and allow Aung San Suu Kyi to take up her rightful place in the political leadership of the country. John Bercow MP, London (United Kingdom)
