Burmese human rights' leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, was released from house arrest last night about 5:15pm, local time in Burma (Myanmar). http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/SEAsia/Story/STIStory_603142.html Just after the announcement last night, life seemed to go on here in Nupoh, for the most part. Though there were a few colleagues, students, and other residents who were listening intently to news reports and/or drinking in celebration of the news, most people were going on about their business - eating dinner, playing chess, chatting with friends, or choosing a DVD.
She is scheduled to give a speech to her supporters today at 12pm, local time (12:30AM east coast time).
