Daw Suu Return Home



Aung San Suu Kyi returns home 



The Burmese authorities say the pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has
returned home after spending the past six days in her car at a military
roadblock outside Rangoon. 

The authorities said she made the decision after talks with senior members
of her political party -- the National League for Democracy. 

Aung San Suu Kyi had been protesting about what she said was the military
government's refusal to allow her to visit her supporters. 

The government accused her of staging a publicity stunt. 

There had been growing international concern about her health but the
Burmese authorities had rejected requests from foreign diplomats to visit her.
