Bono and friends want you to draw attention to the plight of Burmese leader...

U2's latest cause is going to require a bit of audience participation. The band want to draw attention to the plight of Aung San Suu Kyi, the elected leader of Burma who has been under house arrest since 1990. So, they're asking fans who will attend their shows this summer to download a mask featuring her face and to wear it when the '2 strike up into the song 'Walk On'.

'Please use your liberty to promote ours,' says Aung San Suu Kyi. To download the mask, and for more information on the cause, click here.
