Suu Kyi addresses supporters

Help

Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has addressed a large crowd of supporters in Rangoon, a day after her release from house arrest.

She told them not to give up hope - and says she has no ill feeling towards those who detained her. The Nobel Peace Prize winner has been detained for 15 of the past 21 years.

BBC correspondent Alastair Leithead monitored events from Bangkok in neighbouring Thailand.
