Aung San Suu Kyi released
November 14, 2010 - 9:37PM
More than 1000 people were gathered outside her lakeside home in the hope of seeing the 65-year-old dissident, known to her supporters simply as "The Lady".
Excited supporters, who had waited outside her home for a glimpse of their idol, cheered and began to surge forwards as police began removing barricades around Suu Kyi’s crumbling mansion where she has been locked up by the military junta for most of the past two decades.
The authorities went inside to read the order to release her from house arrest, a government official said.
Although she has been sidelined and silenced by the junta - occasionally released briefly only to be put back in confinement - for many in the impoverished nation she still embodies hope of a better future.
"I think of her as my mother and also my sister and grandmother because she's the daughter of our independence leader General Aung San," said 45-year-old Naing Naing Win.
"She has her father’s blood."
Despite the risks of opposing the military regime in a country with more than 2200 political prisoners, many supporters wore T-shirts bearing her image and the words: "We stand with Aung San Suu Kyi".
Undercover police were photographing and filming the crowds.

The Scottish Oatcake ... pure oatmeal!
Most commercial oatcakes have all kinds of unnecessary additives like wheat flour and sugar. Once you have spent half an hour max making these you will find home made simplicity and superiority wins out hands down!
Fine Organic Oatmeal 250 gm
Barcarbonate of Soda 1/2 ts
Pinch of Salt
Olive oil and/or Melted Butter 2 tb
Hot Water or milk 80 ml
Extra Oatmeal for rolling
Method: Set the oven to 190 C or heat a gridle or heavy frying-pan. Mix the oatmeal, the bicarbonate of soda and salt together in a bowl. Add the olive oil and/or melted butter to the hot water or hot milk, pour into the mixture. Stir well until it makes a soft paste. Sprinkle some oatmeal on a board. From the dough into five small round balls and roll them out as thinly as possible on baking paper, adding oatmeal to the surface as necessary to prevent sticking. Brush off the excess oatmeal. Cut the each rolled out ball into four pieces.
To oven bake; place on a large ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes. To gridle bake; bake on a hot gridle or frying-pan until the edges begin to curl. Turn over and cook the other side. Do not let the oatcakes brown; they should be a pale fawn colour. Put on a wire rack to cool.
