Release from houes arrest, modified headings, included full name in "See Also"
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. For this, she was placed under [[house arrest]] on 20 July 1989. The Burmese military junta offered to let her go into [[exile]], but she refused. Various international figures, from [[George W. Bush]] to [[Ban Ki-moon]], have called upon the junta leader General [[Than Shwe]] to release her, but as of yet, these requests have been ignored by the despotic regime.
