Please ask your representatives to exert pressure on the Burmese junta to release her and demand elections. Ask them to put pressure on the junta's crutch supporters - China, India and Thailand. Shame on those governments for supporting such brutality, and on the US extractive industries that continue to do work in Burma. Half hearted, swiss cheese sanctions don't work with dictatorships with additional funding.
