OSLO (Reuters) - Guardians of the Nobel Peace Prize urged Myanmar to free opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, the 1991 laureate, in a rare statement on Friday two days before her 60th birthday. 

"The Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to congratulate her (on her June 19 birthday) and to express our admiration for the courageous way in which she is fighting for democracy and human rights in Burma (Myanmar)," the secretive committee said.
