Suu Kyi seeks to revive political party

Tue Nov 16, 2010

Myanmar's newly-freed opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has announced readiness to fight for the revival of her disbanded party.

Her lawyer says Suu Kyi has already filed a lawsuit with the High Court to reverse the dissolution of her National League for Democracy party, which was banned after boycotting the November 7 vote.

Suu Kyi was released on Sunday after seven years under house arrest.

Her house arrest was extended in August 2009 after she sheltered an American in her home.

Several world leaders and international rights groups have hailed the Suu Kyi's release.

Following her release, Suu Kyi told thousands of her supporters that she would work with all democratic forces.

Her party won by a landslide in 1990 but it was never allowed to take power.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner spent most of the past 20 years in detention.
