Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been held under house arrest for nearly 14 years of the past 20 years, was sentenced to three years in prison, and later commuted to 18 months of house arrest by the military regime’s kangaroo court system today, after an apparently disturbed American man broke into her home where she has been held under house arrest continuously since 2003. Her home – a restricted area in Burma — is heavily guarded by the regime’s security forces.
