Individuals at risk
| Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, has been detained for 13 of the last 19 years, mostly under house arrest. On May 14, 2009, Aung San Suu Kyi and two of her assistants were taken from her home to Insein Prison. Reliable reports in early May confirm that Aung San Suu Kyi had been suffering from dehydration, low blood pressure, and weight loss. Her worsening medical condition makes her transfer to Insein Prison at this time extremely serious.
