Aung San Suu Kyi 'could be freed next month'

Myanmar's detained pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, could be released from house arrest next month, Indonesian foreign minister Marty Natalegawa said on Thursday.

Asked if his Myanmar counterpart, Nyan Win, had given any indication of when Suu Kyi would be freed during a regional summit in Hanoi, Natalegawa said: "Once the prison term of her sentence expires, and she has served her sentence, and that notion was not disputed.

"It was our understanding that she would have served her sentence in November," he told reporters.
