Rangoon - Burma's opposition yesterday demanded the immediate and unconditional release of pro-democracy figurehead, Aung San Suu Kyi, in its most strongly worded statement since peace talks with the military regime began last year.

At a ceremony marking the 13th anniversary of the founding of the National League for Democracy (NLD), which won Burma's last election in 1990 by a landslide but was never allowed to govern, the party called for the release of all political prisoners.
