BANGKOK (Reuters) - Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi will celebrate yet another birthday under house arrest on Sunday while pro-democracy activists around the world stage protests against the military junta. 

The Nobel laureate turns 60, but even though the milestone bears little extra significance in Burmese culture, lobbyists from the United States to Asia to Europe are using the date as a rallying point against Yangon's generals.
