Myanmar's military regime has freed
pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi after the expiration of her
latest detention period.
The release from house arrest Saturday of one of the world's most
prominent political prisoners comes a week after elections that were
swept by the pro-military party and decried by Western nations as a
sham.
Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, has come to symbolize
democracy in a country ruled by the military since 1962.
