Largely influenced by the example of [[Mahatma Gandhi]], Suu Kyi entered politics to work on behalf of increased Burmese democracy, helping to set up the National League for Democracy on 27 September 1988, and for this was placed under [[house arrest]] on 20 July 1989. The Burmese authorities offered to let her go as an [[exile]], but she refused. Various international figures, from [[George W Bush]] to [[Ban Ki-moon]], have called upon the Burmese leader, Than Shwe, to release her, but as yet, these requests have not been aquiesced to.
