Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's House Arrest

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a prominent Burmese political leader and Nobel laureate, was placed under house arrest multiple times by Myanmar’s military-led government, notably from 1989 to 2010. This occurred after her activism for democracy challenged military rule. During her house arrests, she was confined to her residence and prevented from participating in public life or politics. These measures aimed to weaken her influence and suppress her pro-democracy movement. Her releases in 2010 marked a significant shift, allowing her to re-engage openly in Myanmar’s political process.
