World: Is an award from U2 Aung San Suu Kyi’s get-out-of-jail-free card?

  • Bono has the midas touch sometimes. Tonight U2 will present Burma’s pro-democracy leader with a pretty special award in Dublin – Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience Award. The only catch is she’s still in Burma, still on trial for violating the terms of her house arrest and will most likely still land in jail. But, *fingers crossed*, this’ll make them think twice about pulling any major jerk moves. That’s what Amnesty International is hoping anyway. source
