Landmark birthday for San Suu Kyi

Burma pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi marked her 65th birthday today locked in her dilapidated lakeside compound as global calls for her freedom erupted at rallies and prayer vigils around the world.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate plans to celebrate by providing lunch for the three dozen construction workers helping to renovate her crumbling two-story mansion, said her lawyer Nyan Win.
