http://english.aljazeera.net Myanmar 'preparing' to free Suu Kyi Speculation is growing that Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's detained opposition leader, will be released later this week, when her latest period of detention is due to end. "We haven't got any instruction from superiors for her release yet. But we are preparing security plans for November 13," a government official told the news agency AFP on condition of anonymity on Wednesday. Another official, who also did not want to be named, said: "We don't have the order yet. It will be at the last minute." Meanwhile, her lawyer said Suu Kyi will not accept any conditions on her freedom if the military government releases her. "Aung San Suu Kyi must be released on or before November 13 because it is the day when the house arrest on her expires," Nyan Win, her lawyer who is also a spokesman for Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD), told Reuters news agency on Wednesday. "The release must also be unconditional because she will not accept a limited release. As we all know, she never accepted limited freedom in the past," he said.
