Suu Kyi released

AFP, Yangon
Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was freed from 19 months of house arrest yesterday, and made a triumphant return to her party's headquarters where she vowed to continue the fight for democracy.
The Nobel peace laureate was mobbed by more than 500 jubilant National League for Democracy (NLD) members who chanted "Long Live Suu Kyi" as she arrived from her villa on the shores of Inya Lake.
Security forces battled to clear a path through the crush for the
slightly built 56-year-old, who announced there were no conditions to her release and that the ruling junta would allow her to travel as she pleased.
"There are no restrictions to my movement, I can go anywhere I want," she told reporters, in her first public comments since September 2000, when she was detained for attempting to defy a ban on journeying outside Yangon.
"I hope to be able to carry out all my duties to my country and my party in the best possible way," she added. "Whatever opportunities we have now we must use simply for the progress of democracy."
However, Aung San Suu Kyi indicated she would initially display restraint towards the regime with which she began secret national reconciliation talks in October 2000. "I certainly have a wish to travel but it's a little bit too early yet."
In obvious good health and good humour despite the long months of confinement, she played down the significance of her liberation.
"My release shouldn't be looked at as a major breakthrough for democracy. For all people in Burma to enjoy basic freedom - that would be the major breakthrough," she
said, referring to the country by its former name.
The military government announced her release in Washington overnight, promising a "new page" in the history of the nation which has been mired in a 12-year political deadlock between the junta and Aung San Suu Kyi, the daughter of Myanmar's founder father, General Aung San.
It was her second long stretch under detention, after she endured six years of house arrest beginning in 1989, the year after she returned from Britain and took up the dissident cause.
Over the next decade she became an icon of democracy in a country considered a pariah regime by Western governments who imposed sanctions to protest its human rights abuses and tolerance of the narcotics trade.
The government said in a statement that it would now take a series of steps to "celebrate this day of national unity".
"We have released nearly 600 detainees in recent months and shall continue to release those who will cause no harm to the community, nor threaten the existing peace, stability and unity of the nation," it said.
The statement said Myanmar would work together with the inter-
national community in the fight against terrorism and "total eradication of narcotic drugs which are threatening mankind".
Myanmar observers expected Aung San Suu Kyi's release to be only part of a much broader reconciliation framework negotiated over the past 18 months in the talks brokered by UN envoy Razali Ismail.
Aung San Suu Kyi said the historic dialogue has progressed past an initial confidence-building stage and will now begin to tackle policy issues.
"The authorities have said we look forward moving to a more significant stage of the talks," she said, adding that they would begin to tackle concerns like the failing economy and the need for foreign aid.
World leaders hailed the release as a step towards democracy, and Japan, the country's top aid donor, vowed to provide further support if Yangon accelerated the reform process.
However, Yangon diplomats were cautious, saying the ruling generals would now have to prove they were serious about dismantling military rule.
"It might be the start of a new era but we will have to wait and see," said one diplomat.
