BREAKING: Aung San Suu Kyi released from house arrest in Burma (CNN)
Edited on Sat Nov-13-10 06:11 AM by pinboy3niner

CNN reports seeing her emerge from her house after a visit to her compound by an "official car." They note that her last release also followed a visit by an official car (officials had come to read the order of release on that occasion).

No report yet of her leaving her compound.

Ed. to add link:

Myanmar activist Aung San Suu Kyi released

(Note: CNN will not name its reporter on the ground there because the ruling junta is not allowing international journalists into the country to cover this story.)
