House arrest
House arrest is when someone has been arrested, but not put in prison. Instead, they are made to stay in their homes, hence the term.[1] Subjects typically wear ankle bracelets which alert the authorities when they leave their house. [source?]
A notable example of house arrest is Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma. She was under house arrest for much of the time between 1990 and 2010.[source?] Another example is Zhang Xueliang (張學良). The good thing in Mr Zhang's case is that (as the "house arrest" had ended) he lived freely for a decade. He was allowed to leave China in the 1990s.[2][3][4][5][6]
