Myanmar Opposition Leader Released; State-Run Media Silent
from the maybe-if-we-ignore-her-she’ll-just-go-away dept.
Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was released after 19 months of house arrest by the country’s ruling junta yesterday, and was reportedly mobbed by supporters during her first day of freedom. Interestingly (well, at least to someone raised outside the realm of state-controlled media), Myanmar’s government-controlled newspapers studiously ignored any mention of the event, as Malaysia’s The Star Online reports.
