Myanmar to free Suu Kyi days after election

Friday, 1 October 2010


YANGON, Sept 30 (AFP): Democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi will be released just days after Myanmar's first election in two decades, officials said Thursday.
The Nobel Peace laureate, who has been detained for most of the last twenty years since winning the country's last general election, will be freed when her current term of house arrest expires on November 13, the unnamed sources said.
