On this day in 1995, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was released by the military regime after spending six years under house arrest.
The democracy champion was 44 when she was arrested for the first time in July 1989 under the State Protection Law, by the then junta which described itself as the State Law and Order Restoration Council.
