Senators in the United States have introduced legislation to give the Congressional Gold Medal, America's top civilian honor, to detained Burmese democracy politician, Aung San Suu Kyi.

The bill was put forward by US Democratic senator Dianne Feinstein and Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, who are both long-time critics of Burma's military government.

They had the bipartisan support of 73 other senators.

Senator Feinstein says Nobel Peace laureate Ms Suu Kyi 'a woman of unrivaled courage and commitment' who offers hope and democracy to Burma.

She went on to say that the 'Congressional Gold Medal will not only honor the life and legacy' of Ms Suu Kyi, but it will also demonstrate to the world that her cause is our cause - a free and democratic Burma.'
