The cover is a tribute to Aung San Suu Kyi, who recently celebrated her 65th birthday in captivity. The last 20 years, Aung San Suu Kyi was imprisoned for nearly 14 years.

Three measures

The support of the City to Burma and Aung San Suu Kyi consists of 3 parts:

• Total, the fuel supplier for the car fleet of the City, was informed that the City is committed to fair trade: the firm signed a charter in which it - together with its subsidiaries - engages in an ethical approach to his work (see: Brussels and Actions Birmanie)
• the City of Brussels, during the term of the contract, will deposit the advantage that was obtained by giving the contract to Total into the account of Actions Birmanie, that fights for democracy in Burma (see Brussels and Actions Birmanie)
• placing a cover for Aung San Suu Kyi at the Continental Hotel on the Place de Brouckère [plan]
