Ms Suu Kyi has been in detention for most of the last 18 years

Burma＇s military junta has extended the house arrest of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi by one year, officials say.
Government officials went to Ms Suu Kyi＇s house in Rangoon and read the detention order out to her.

The pro-democracy leader＇s latest period of detention, which began in May 2003, had been due to expire on Sunday.

Ms Suu Kyi has spent 11 of the last 18 years under house arrest. In 1990 her National League for Democracy won polls that were annulled by the army.

She has never been allowed to govern.

The extension order was widely expected, as under Burmese law Ms Suu Kyi＇s house arrest must be renewed every 12 months.

Last week, 59 world political leaders including former US Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, and former South Korean President Kim Dae-Jung, called for her release in a letter to Burma＇s military ruler, General Than Shwe.

In November 2006, Ms Suu Kyi was allowed to leave her house to meet UN envoy Ibrahim Gambari for one hour.

Burma＇s military junta took power in 1988.
