Suu Kyi’s Appeal Denied
Myanmar pro-democracy activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi lost her latest appeal for freedom Friday, October 2.
A divisional court found that Suu Kyi breached the terms of her house arrest when an uninvited guest stayed at her home in August. She was sentenced to 18 additional months of confinement in her home.
Suu Kyi has now been under house arrest for 14 of the past 20 years.
