Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, a long-time advocate for democracy in Myanmar, has been held under house arrest since her ousting in a military coup in 2021. The coup marked a dramatic reversal of the country's fragile progress towards democratic reforms, with the military seizing control and arresting key opposition figures, including Suu Kyi. As the country's de facto leader, Suu Kyi had won international acclaim for her non-violent resistance to military rule, earning her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. Her prolonged detention has sparked widespread condemnation from the international community, with many calling for her release and the restoration of democracy in Myanmar.
