arrest only in 1995, but again arbitrarily deprived her of her liberty from 22 September
to 6 May 2002..."

"...(a) The Working Group confirms its previous Opinions (Opinion Nos. 8/1992,
2/2002, 9/2004 and 2/2007), declaring Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi?s placement under house
4
arrest as arbitrary, being in contravention of Articles 9, 10 and 19 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights,
(b) The Working Group considers that the further extension of Ms. Aung San Suu
Kyi?s placement under house arrest by administrative way is arbitrary as it violates the
rights and fundamental .freedoms, established in articles 9, 10 and 19 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and even domestic law, particularly the State Protection
Law 1975, which itself contradicts to the basic principles and norms of modern
international law. Violations of Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi?s liberty fell under categories I, II
and III of the categories applicable to the cases submitted to the Working Group of
Arbitrary Detention...".....
This is a draft version of the Opinion -- no doubt minor changes of spelling etc. will be made in the final version.
