Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, the detained leader of Myanmar's pro-democracy movement, turned 60 Sunday alone and under house arrest as her supporters in Yangon and around the world demanded her freedom.
For the woman known affectionately as "The Lady", the day was probably much like any other in the past two years she has been under house arrest, allowed no visitors besides a doctor and with her telephone line cut.
However, at the headquarters of her National League for Democracy (NLD), hundreds of people gathered to mark the occasion and security was visibly tighter than normal there and outside her home.
