Free Aung San Suu Kyi
Those taking part wore white clothing, both because this is the prison uniform in Burma and also because white represents police.
While I was taking pictures there was heavy traffic past the demonstrators and their banners, and a number of motorists sounded their horns to express support for the cause.

A beautiful demonstration and a very friendly bunch of demonstrators...let's hope it makes a difference to the people across the road and more power to those who braved the cold night for a worthy cause.
