www.go6tv.com: Ten people, including Aung San Suu Kyi's personal physician, Dr Tin Myo Win, and senior members of her National League for Democracy party, have reportedly entered the pro-democracy leader's compound, as security personnel removed the barbed wire barricades from in front of her home. Sources at the scene said that police guarding her home have also withdrawn. Thousands of people who have gathered at the site hoping to see her as she emerged from seven and a half years of house arrest greeted news of her release jubilantly.

The military authorities in Burma have released the pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.

She has appeared in front of a crowd of her supporters who rushed to her house in Rangoon when nearby barricades were removed by the security forces.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner has been detained for 15 of the past 21 years.

Earlier, Ms Suu Kyi's lawyer warned that she was highly unlikely to accept a conditional release if it excluded her from political activity.

The government has restricted her travel and freedom to associate during previous brief spells of liberty, and demanded she quit politics.

She was originally due to be released from house arrest last year, but a case involving an American who swam across Inya Lake to her home, claiming he was on a mission to save her, prompted the latest detention.

Last Sunday, the political party supported by the military government won the country's first election in 20 years. The ballot was widely condemned.

A number of ethnic leaders and other politicians, including some who contested in last week's election, said they hope to meet with Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi soon after she is released from house arrest.
Speaking to The Irrawaddy on Saturday, Naing Ngwe Thein, the chairman of the All Mon Region Democracy Party, said that he and other ethnic leaders planned to meet with Suu Kyi as soon as possible.
“Under her leadership, we will try to call for a second Panglong-type conference,” said Naing Ngwe Thein, referring to a 1948 pre-independence agreement that guaranteed the rights of Burma's ethnic minorities.
“When we meet with her, we will discuss the Kale Declaration [an agreement signed by ethnic leaders opposed to the Nov. 7 election],” said Naing Ngwe Thein, whose party refused to take part in the polls, which were widely seen as part of an effort to cement military control over Burmese politics.

Dr Manam Tu Ja, the former vice-chairman of the Kachin Independence Organization and founder of a new party that was rejected by the junta-appointed Union Election Commission, said that ethnic leaders want to engage in a tripartite dialogue with Suu Kyi and the Burmese regime.
“The talks should focus on creating a federal system based on equality and power-sharing, which are the main desires of Burma's ethnic minorities,” he said.
Meanwhile, other political leaders, including some who broke away from Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) to run in the election, also expressed an interest in meeting with her to discuss the way forward.
“We also hope to meet with her,” said Dr. Than Nyein, a leading member of the National Democratic Force, which has complained of vote-rigging in last Sunday's election.
According to sources, a number of candidates who ran in the election are now among the hundreds of people gathered outside Suu Kyi's house awaiting her release, including members of the Democratic Party (Myanmar) and independent candidates Dr Saw Naing, Dr Phone Win and Win Ko Ko Win.
“We tried to compete in the election, but this government cannot be trusted. They cheated again,” said one independent candidate.
“Aung San Suu Kyi is the only leader who can fight this nefarious dictatorship, so I will join forces with the NLD,” he added
