(Reuters) - Deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who was sentenced to four years in prison on Monday, later cut to two, is just one of thousands held in the country since the military seized power 10 months ago.

Each day in Myanmar, police and soldiers arrest those who dare to demand democracy be restored. Many are beaten, some tortured and killed, according to the United Nations and rights groups.
