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. 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.
