In May 2009, as the latest period of detention was due to expire, the NLD appealed to the government to release her, saying she was suffering from low blood pressure and dehydration, but the appeal was rejected.
Shortly after, a US national was arrested for swimming across a lake and breaking into her compound.
Then, a few days later, Ms Suu Kyi was herself arrested and charged with breaching the conditions of her detention, although the man had apparently not been invited to visit.
After a trial, she was convicted and sentenced to a further 18 months of house arrest.
Critics say the arrest and continued detention were designed to keep her away from the public eye until elections scheduled to take place in 2010.
The sentence was roundly condemned by the international community.
Come on, be a man. Sissies!!
