Current Situation
Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma's pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace laureate, has come to symbolise the struggle of Burma's people to be free.
She has spent more than 15 years in detention, most of it under house arrest. She was released from her current third period of detention on Saturday 13th November 2010.
However, there are still more than 2,200 political prisoners in Burma and none of the repressive laws allowing the dictatorship to detain people without trial and restrict other freedoms have been repealed following the sham election on 7 November or under the new constitution.
