Myanmar's military junta has sentenced Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of Myanmar democratic movement, to a further 18 months under house arrest. She has already spent 14 of the past 20 years in confinement .
The sentence will be enough to keep her away from next year's election.

The verdict in the army-ruled nation has drawn widespread international condemnation.
