		BURMA'S OPPOSITION LEADER ALLOWED TO LEAVE HER RESIDENCE
		********************************************************

          Burma's Opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has left her 
	  residence for the first
          time since authorities prevented her from going out to attend a 
	  political meeting last
          week.

          Ms Suu Kyi, leader of Burma's National League for Democracy, 
	  attended a
          memorial meeting for a member of her party who died in 
	  suspicious circumstances
          in prison seven years ago.

          Burma's military government confined Ms Suu Kyi to her home 
	  last week and riot
          police barricaded an office of her political party to prevent 
	  her from meeting
          members of its youth wing.

          The N-L-D says the government detained more than 50 of its 
	  members who had
          tried to attend the meeting in Rangoon.
