A senior member of Aung San Suu Kyi’s party said a release order has been signed for the Myanmar opposition leader and that she may be freed from house arrest “today or tomorrow.”
Suu Kyi, who has been detained for 15 of the past 21 years, is scheduled to be released on Nov. 13, according to the terms of her most recent house arrest. Myanmar’s junta hasn’t said publicly whether it will free the 65-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate a week after the party it backed claimed a landslide election victory.
