RANGOON, Burma - The ruling junta announced the release today of Aung San Suu Kyi, declaring a "new page" in the country's history after having held the pro-democracy leader under house arrest for more than 20 months.
"As of today, she is at liberty to carry out all activities, including her party's," a government spokesman told Reuters news agency in Rangoon. Officials of her National League for Democracy said she would visit the party's headquarters later today.
