Yangon: Myanmar's junta on Saturday released opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest, almost a week after staging a general election widely criticised by the international community for being neither free, fair, nor inclusive.

Suu Kyi appeared briefly outside her house looking happy and relaxed, prompting her elated supporters to break out in a joyous rendition of the national anthem. "Mother, mother", cried one young woman, tears streaming down her face.
"I am very happy to see you all," Suu Kyi told the crowd. "I want to advise you to make noise at the suitable time, not now," she joked.
