Aung San Suu Kyi Released From House Arrest

aung san suu kyiMyanmar activist Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest Saturday, police outside her home said.

Witnesses said that they had seen Suu Kyi as crowds of supporters gathered near her home in Yangon.

At party headquarters in the same city, hundreds waited near her National League for Democracy.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has spent 15 of the past 21 years under house arrest because of her fight for democracy in the nation formerly known as Burma.

Security has been stepped up in Myanmar, but it was unclear whether that was because of the country's first elections in two decades Sunday.
